came off abx

For those of you who are wrestling with the idea, I am no longer on antibiotics. Yes, I'm still quite I'll, but am having some better days since the shift. I was getting better on abx, but after 1.5 months it just got too toxic for me

Acutely ill since Dec with severe symptoms, such as violent dry heaving, massive weight loss, numbness in both legs, twitches, severe tremors, burning throat and swallowing issues..and other symptoms too.

We think I got infected a few years back and then possibly got bit again in the fall, to bring this out pretty bad.

Switched to: AL complex, hottunyia drops (nutrimedix) and colloidal silver.

This past weekend was the first time I was able to do stuff in 5 months.
Walked 5 miles and went out to dinner which is HUGE for me.

Slow progress, too slow but going abx free, and hope this I'd my path to healing.

Congratulations on seeing some improvements, Louise!! I'm so glad that you have found something that seems to be helping more. Keep up the good work! Slow and steady is the way to go for many, especially with a chronic infection.

5 miles, 5 freakin' miles! You go girl! I have a feeling with your attitude, that lyme doesn't stand a chance! Keep up the good work and let us know how it goes.

It is funny, you know one day I was just *done with pills, everything and stopped. All herbs, vitamins, abx. My herbalist was like something had to tell you to do that and I said, "I guess my body was tired of swallowing pills"

It is always best to listen to your body. I needed some adjustments once I jumped off -added a few vitamins back in, but it was definitely the right decision!

Thank you for the encouragement. Yes, it's a lot considering I've barely been able to get off the couch and bathroom floor for a long time. I'm still months away from healing, I have a long way to go.
My husband has encouraged me to keep moving, so I have been pushing myself to walk up and down my driveway when able, and my legs vibrate after I walk, so I'll know when lyme is finally out.

I'm fully committed to healing without abx now. Bart has destroyed my throat so much, that there is no more pills for me. Tincture, teas are my focus now.

My body can walk and I'm driving again, but my focus and personality are missing and I still have work on GI and sleep.

But my attitude is getting fiercer and I'm ready to beat this thing, I'm no longer a puddle on the floor.
