Hi everyone,

I thought this might make for a good post, as I often wonder what others are doing in their day in regards to their chronic illnesses. You could write just a little or you can write about your entire day. I ended up coming up with a schedule to get myself into the best health I can possible get right now. Admittedly, I am unable to meet this expectation of myself (especially right now with some changes going on that get in the way).

I hope you're all doing well. Just trying to keep the positive energy. I hope you all have a good day!

I am diagnosed with Borrelioses , and suspected (non-diagnosed) Bartonellosis and my daily routine is

Minocyclin 200mg + Artemesia Annua, Cistus Tea, Magnesium, Vitamin C and Currently Cryptolepis.

Oh and Probiotics is a honorable mention.

This mixture makes feel kind of stable but I am still currently unable to work.

I'm diagnosed with Lyme disease (Borreliosis) via Igenex testing, and muscle testing (kinesiology) showed RMSF and EBV. I've suspected EBV for a while, along with mycoplasma pneumonia (have had walking pneumonia in the past). I also have POTS, MCAS, and CCI (had spinal fusion done). I only found out the answers to my 8 year long illness about 10 months ago, so I haven't made much positive progress yet.

I take a lot of anti-inflammatory and immune support - turmeric, EGCG, Reishi mushrooms, andrographis, high dose vitamin c

Also, supplements that support the various functions in the body - adrenal and thyroid (bovine sourced), zinc, vitamin d, selenium, B vitamins (methylated version), magnesium malate

Supplements for antihistamine help - quercetin, stinging nettles, daily 24 hr OTC antihistamine Loratadine

Detox support - glutathione, NAC, occasional binder powder

LOTS and LOTS of water. After I walk and sweat a lot, I drink LMNT electrolytes. Supporting my immune system as much as I am has kept me from catching multiple colds and RSV that has gone through my family. I call that a win!!!!

The inflammation support helps my aches and pains some, and my adrenals are being massively helped (am able to walk at least 3-4 miles a day). I am in the process of figuring out what to do for further treatment since Cowden protocol didn't help.

Morning
Cold shower
Sun exposure for at least 5 min. As its warm now I often have my breakfast on the balcony in the sun, but when its not I go for a 10-15 min walk.
No screens for the first 30 min except for my Kindle.
Supplements

Day
Go for a walk if I didn’t in the morning
No coffee after 3 pm
Exercise almost every day.
Most days I either use the sauna or take an Epsom foot bath.

Night (4-5 days a week)
No food 3 hours before bedtime
No screens 1 hour ideally before bedtime, sometimes it's only 30 min.
Grateful exercise with my girlfriend.
Supplements

Recently started with/want to get into my routine
Decreased blood sugar spikes by having vegetables, fat, or nuts before every meal.
5 min meditation during workdays.
5 min of guitar at the end of my workday during the days I finish at home.

I recommend doing as I have with a morning, day, and night routine. Start slow and test what works well for you. It takes time to form habits, and I have been doing this for many years.
The most important thing to start with is the morning sun exposure based on what I have been reading and podcasts from people like Andrew Huberman.

As soon as I get up it's bentonite liquid in water since it's tasteless, on an empty stomach too. Little while later vit b12 sublingual, b9 , b7 or (nutritonal yeast flakes that hv all the vit b's),vit d, vit c, sometimes magnesium or adrenal bovine(freeze dried from Dr. Berg) also right before bedtime I do another up of bentonite liquid in water. My llmd said I must have something in my gut that shouldn't be there as the bentonite clay makes most of his patients constipated. It moves my bowels right along so he said it must be moving something out which is great for me.
