I was just hoping for some help with Lyme arthritis and extreme fatigue. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :)

Hi Puregreen!

I have had Lyme arthritis since I was 18 or maybe earlier, finally diagnosed with Lyme and Bartonella one and a half year ago. I'm 34 now.

Are you getting any treatment for Lyme (and co?) now? Seeing a LLMD?

I can't help you with the extreme fatigue (no success with that for me until now, the fatigue is my longest existing symptom) I'm sorry for that, but if you are undergoing treatment, it should get better.

For the arthritis: my dr prescribed me these supplements:

Zyflamend (he says it works as well as Diclophenac)

High doses of Omega3

Berberine

Ginger and Turmeric are also good for pain and joints.

It took a while for me to get results from these supplements, but I surely felt a difference after 2 months. If you would be able to take them all the time, regularly, it should work much better and much much quicker. I have food intolerances and a very bad stomach, I can't take them all the time.

I'm sure others will join in with good advice!

Good luck!

MarieLS

The fatigue could easily be from low functioning thyroid and/or adrenals. I would suggest that you have your thyroid and adrenals checked very thoroughly. www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/‎

As for the pain, I would suggest concentrating on lowering the inflammation as well:www.naturalnews.com/037376_curcumin_boswellia_chronic_pain.html
I know that several of us on this forum are or have taken the combination of ginger, turmeric & boswellia with good results for our pain.

The good news is that with effective treatment, my Lyme arthritis has seemed to really ease up!!

Thank you for your help. I am on some adrenal supplements and a ton of turmeric so maybe I just need to give everything some more time.

Thanks again

You could look into adding at least the Bowellia - it's been proven to help with pain- particularly arthritis pain - when combined with turmeric.

You could also look into acupuncture or at least acupressure/reflexology. I love this site for their interactive charts:
