I get a newsletter from Treatlyme and this was taken from the topic of finishing treatment. I hope that I am in the home stretch of treatment myself so this article was timely for me. Check out the article if you are interested on the website.

Recommendations:

1. regular sleep of seven or more hours a night.

2. regular exercise as long as it does not make a person worse.

3. whole and organic foods to limit toxins that can suppress the immune system.

4. a good multi-vitamin that provides all of the essential nutrients the immune system requires, and immune system support with a multi-mushroom formula or a multi-immune transfer factor mix.

5. continuing emotional detoxification.

Well, for me I've been using herbal protocols, acupuncture and Chinese herbs for supporting my body for just over 2 1/2 years, although I did a year of abx to begin with back in 2007 - although that made me a lot worse because I have issues with detoxing and who knows what else. eyes

Although I feel the need to also point out that I was first infected when I was just 7 years old with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and have been collecting tick-borne infections until I started my herbal treatments when I was 47. The LLMD that I saw to begin with (2007) told me there was no way to know just how many strains of which infections I had by then and that we had to assume that I had them all. smhair Not what I wanted to hear!!! LOL!

So the moral of my story is that no one should give up!!! Keep trying different protocols until you find the one that will work with your body!

I have been in treatment since July 2011. Like Traveler was infected originally in 1989 treated and then seemed fine for years. It was in around 2003 when I really started to have unexplained symptoms. However my hobby was gardening and from 1987 to 2011 I have been bit by many bugs. I just never knew the seriousness of Lyme since I thought it was treated and gone.

I did a year of two combinations of ABX switched every 3-4 months. Since November Tindamax, then in January LLMD added generic Biaxin (I believe). Anyway this combo took me a while to get used to..had headaches and nausea again for weeks. But now feel almost normal. Still some internal muscle jumping or twitching. Brain is clear, fatigue is gone, vibrations gone, muscle weakness gone so many things gone. Still have floaters in my eyes and my left ear still goes in and out.

So for me it will be two years this July. I still keep a tight diet and now trying to step up my exercise program.

My LLMD transitions you to herbals as you finish treatment. Not there yet but I feel close.
