Hi vacant,

I wasn't on Cowden, on abx and other herbs.. Although I was in bed for 11 months when I first started treatment. I too, couldn't function for more than a couple of hours, and even then, the functioning was just eating, bathing, the basics.

Many lyme patients have chronic fatigue. It could be due to many reasons... from vitamin dificiencies, thyroid, adrenal, issues, or not detoxing well enough (the list can seem endless really). If you are just beginning treatment, it can be a lot on your body and you just need rest.

Do you read the "new to lyme" section? There is a lot of great info there.

This is a great community that you reached out to. Welcome.

Sincerely,
Samantha

how can you sleep @ night?

i have so much problem after sleeping/resting all day

I take melatonin, 5 mg tablets. Its a natural sleep aid that our body makes to sleep, that many of us seem to lack with lyme disease.

Insomnia is also common with lyme. It can be indicative of a b12 dificiency. And many lyme patients can not absorb it through their intestines. I get Vit b12 shots every 5 days, and it has helped tremendously. Gives me energy in the day and helps me sleep at night.

Do you have an LLMD treating you?

i take b12 in pill form

thank you

I'm on the Cowden,too.

I've been on the treatment for 5 months now and I'm improving slowly.

My energy levels improved after about 3 months and I would say they're nearly back to normal.

The only problem is, I tend to overdo things and my poor joints have difficulty keeping up!!!!

Try taking Green Vibrance to support your tummy, I find it really remarkable regarding its effect on my well being,if I forget it for some reason,I notice it immediately.

Hi there,

I'm originally from the UK but I married a German and have been living in Germany for many years.

And yes,you are certainly not the only member on this forum who is on the Cowden protocol.

You may want to check to see if you have KPU < Its a long word, afraid I cannot spell it.( all that sleeping ).
Here's the test, but you could supplement for several months and see if you start having relief. It takes about 4 months to see a shift.

Low in minerals? Not sure if you are able to take other things while on the Cowden Protocol.
