I thought, "Why should I wait for the doc to test me & tell me what to do? I could at least start doing what I know is a healthy lifestyle."

So, today, I've only had fruits & veggies. All day. I'm a tad hungry.

My hands super hurt, but they have been hurting regularly for a while.

I slept 8 hrs last night, took a 30-min nap on the couch, and I'm SO tired now. Gee. Maybe I SHOULD wait to see doc before making my own changes?

You need to eat protein too!

Read Lyme Diet by Nicola McFadzean. You can really hurt yourself by not eating right. This disease is way too serious and it literally saps nutrients out of your body. I have lost 12 lbs since August and I eat a LOT. These 12 lbs that I lost are mostly muscle and I am getting worried… You are at the beginning of this so do your research first before making any changes.

I suppose not having protein today is why I'm so crazy tired? I was thinking there are SO many nutrients in fruits and vegetables, that that might help me actually feel better. AND my gut isn't working quite right, so I thought juicing veggies would chug things through nicely. Ugh. Quite the puzzle.

I've ordered Lyme Diet.

Go low on the fruit since it's a source of sugar that can feed the bacteria, plus if you have blood sugar problems, it could cause some problem.

It's good that you ordered the book so you can learn more about a diet to help you.

Are you taking probiotics? The only ones that work for me are Dr. Ohhira's professional strength 2 capsules 2xday 1 hour before or 2 hours after meal. I get them on Amazon. I went through a number of other probiotics until someone told me about this one.

Nicola McFadzean has a website too with lots of really useful articles. You might want to check it out.

I've started probiotics, ginger capsules, Vit C and Vit D3. So far, I feel better today, especially after eating an egg last night.

I'm basically using fruit as a carrier for wheat grass powder or to make the other green veggies palatable in a juice.

Yes I have eaten a lot of organic eggs since this whole thing started LOL!

You definitely need protein to fight this.
