Been on new protacol. I am takling Samneto Teasel and Naltroxone. I juice and take supplements. However I am not sure if I need to back down or not with protacol. I feel dizzy and head feels weird. I also have alot of pain in legs and just feel off. I feel weak and spacey. Any advise please let me know your thoughts? I recently saw LLMD and goign to talk to him again. Symtoms seem to escalate around 10-3 in the afternoon and start to dimmish.... Any thoughts on this is appreciated.....

A few questions to start with, Cyn:

Are you detoxing? If yes, what all are you doing?

Did you start off on full doses?

I would suggest that you increase what you are doing for detoxing, although lower your water temp. Hot water will raise your body temp and will also help kill the bacteria. Although this is the ultimate goal, to kill off a lot of bacteria as you start your treatments will overload your body with toxins. There are also more detox soak ingredients that you can read about in the "New to Lyme?" thread in the detoxing post.

To increase what you do for detoxing, you can add in dry skin brushing, foot soaks, and if you can get to a FIR sauna (like at a gym, doctors office, or other places), that would really help as well. Some will do coffee enemas.

You said you drink a lot of water, but "a lot" means different things to different people. I used to think that 24 ounces was a lot!! LOL! So be sure you are drinking at least 64 ounces a day. You will also see lemon being added to water here, but I wouldn't recommend that for you since you mention that you have muscle twitching as the lemon juice (as well as pickled things- pickles too) can increase muscle cramping, twitching and spasms.

Make sure you are getting enough rest - even taking a nap during the day is good - even a short 20 minutes 'power nap' is helpful.

Try using a heating pad for your neck and shoulders - but be careful to not stay on one too long and get burns.

If these things don't help soon, then you may want to try decreasing your dosage of Teasel and Samento and going back up much more slowly. This could give your body a chance to "catch up" with the detoxing that it needs to do.

I would suggest that you not start using the Rife until you are sure that your detox pathways are operating fairly well, otherwise you'll end up overloading your body with toxins again.

Hi Cyn101 - Traveler is right, definitely re-focus on your detox.

Also do consider the coffee enemas. Im a big macho guy and for me the enemas were embarrassing at first. However, they really were the single most effective method of controlling my Herx symptoms. Im on ABXs so my toxicity levels might have been different than yours.

Thank you both so much. I work so I cant nap but I am starting to do sauna twice a week. Do you know how long to stay in for??? I appreciate all of this. I am trying to eat healthy as wll No sugar carbs and all organic as much as possible. This diease is horrible. Ive been sick for over a year.. Im trying to balance so I dont get to sick and cant work. It has rough days because I get bad brain fog and flu like symptoms and dont knwo day to day how I will feel. But I am fighting as hard as I can. I will re read the detox suggestions and def try enemas. I did a few a year ago but stopped. I am finally owning this illness. Sounds crazy but I ve been in denial for years. I wasnt as sick as I have been since this past year but think I was infected 7 years ago,.


I wish you all a healthy New Year!!!

Cynthia

The denial isn't as odd as one would think - I too was in denial, only my state of denial lasted for 7 years! shakehead I was told by a Neurologist that I had Bell's Palsy likely from Lyme Disease and that was the first time anyone had connected any of my symptoms to Lyme disease. It took me a while to connect all the dots - then I realized that I had been ill for my whole life with these symptoms!

Don't get discouraged! Keep on trying to get more and more into your routines to help you heal. Each day is just another opportunity to get a bit more worked in!
