Lyme insomnia

I have recently been diagnosed with the borrelia bacteria and possibly bartonella (although they couldnt pinpoint it in my results).

Im struggling with major insomnia to the point where i hardly sleep all night. Im just wondering does anyone else with lyme struggle with getting any sleep?

Ok thank you for the information and tips it means alot. I needed to make sure i wasnt going insane and im the only one experiencing this lol.

Ive also found out that the insomnia is very sensitive to diet. If i eat gluten in particular it seems to be a massive trigger right now.

Nate - as others mentioned insomnia is unfortunately pretty common . I was a walking zombie for years and took 15 min power naps wherever and whenever I could. Even just relaxing with eyes closed for 15 minutes helps for the next couple hours.

There’s lots of different natural remedies and supplements that help with sleep the cost can be many things and all of them together.

It’s already mentioned this causes inflammation , also hormone disruption like low thyroid and cortisol issues from the stress this causes for your body.

Luckily most of the sleep helping supplements can be bought and low volume bottles quantities etc. and are cheap they can have different reactions for different people too so don’t be surprised if some don’t work for you when they work for others.

One thing you need to do is have your thyroid levels checked, called free T3 and free T4 and TSH. Do not settle on the doctor just testing for TSH alone that’s not enough.
