Herxing from recent bite?

That's tough to have all your kids sick with it. I'm sorry you have to go through that. I have 1 daughter with it. I suggested that my other one get tested, but she said she didn't want to be. I'm thinking she doesn't since the stress of college hasn't caused any decline in her. I may have had Lyme before I had kids, so I may have given it to one or both.

I wish you the best.

Hi Mom of 6!

Welcome!

My goodness, you have a lot on your plate!

To me, it sounds like your daughter has had Lyme for awhile with those herxes - just my opinion, though.

Are you getting treated for your Lyme?

It's good that you can have a sense of humor sometimes. You have a lot of stress in your life. I'm so glad you found this forum so you can have some support and advice. I can't imagine having the whole family sick. My husband picks up the slack a lot. I'm not doing real bad, but not as good as I was when I was diagnosed. I had the stress of my mom's decline and then passing away a couple of months ago that drug me down more, but my adrenals are a big part of it.

I'd suggest you look into classical homeopathy too since it works on your whole system. It might help keep you afloat and more. Let me know if you'd like some info. on it.

Thank you and hugs back at ya!

Here's one place that will keep you busy learning about homeopathy. http://nationalcenterforhomeopathy.org/

I was very ill when I first turned to it, maybe Lyme or just my exposure to lacquer or both. Toxins can worsen an illness. I had chronic headaches, bladder infections, yeast infections, I couldn't squat or kneel because it hurt too much ( I forgot to mention that symptom, but it went away after treatments). My energy was extremely low and I spent most of the day laying down. There were many other odds and ends of symptoms. I went to 2 or 3 MDs, but they all basically said to get a life. So I had nowhere to turn to find help. A neighbor introduced me to homeopathy (before I saw the MDs), so I saw an ad for a class at the community college and decided to sign up for it to learn about it before I dove into it. After 2 classes, it made sense to try it. My first time using it was with a bladder infection, so that was a good test for it. I was given a remedy and I felt it working shortly after I took it and we were able to do some grocery shopping on the way home, which I could not have done on the way. I woke up the next morning and felt the symptoms again and was disappointed, but decided to take one more dose before I called the doc and I haven't had a bladder infection since. That was about 26 years ago. So I continued going in and each time I would improve. I was a lot better after just a month or 2 and had continued improvement until I was well. I think it was those treatments that kept me from being worse off with the Lyme infection. I'm tempted to work with my original homeopath again since he helped so much and he is so good at it.

I pulled a kitten through distemper with it, amazing the vet that saw it. Her liver started to fail at one point and the vet said not to expect much at that point, but after a remedy, she was fine with no sign of liver failure. The vet couldn't believe it.

Those are just a couple of examples of what it can do. It's prescribed based on your individual symptoms. People react differently to the same virus or bacterial infection, so that shows everyone may need a different remedy for the same illness.

I used it on my mom whenever the antibiotics would sink her so bad and she'd snap back pretty quick up until the last couple of weeks. If the diet was better where she was living, she would probably still be around. Nothing can replace a good diet.

I hope that will help you learn about it, but if you have questions, let me know. I don't know of anyone who has used homeopathy alone for Lyme, or anyone that has used it at all for that matter, but I might learn of some if I work with my original homeopath. It's a medicine that has been around for a long time. The royal family uses it...at lest the older ones do.
