I just wanted a little quick rant... I must say I'm really not happy to have Lyme disease. Does anyone else feel the same way?

Is there any positive aspect to this disease that I am missing? I have been taking so many medications I think I'm killing myself...

Does anyone know how to make it go away?

I was just whinning tonight how sick I am of taking pills. This is a draining, discouraging experience at times. Im still waiting for a cdc positive lyme test to helpme convince myself taking all these abx and other meds and supps are the right thing. I am aalso vefy frustrated.

No, honey. Are you taking abx pills or antimicrobial herbs?

What about IVs?

I would suggest either ivs or antimicrobial herbs, using one of the protocols.

I think Trav's protocol is pretty good too, even though Misty Meadows isn't that well known.

I didn't have good success with abx in prescription form.

you have every rhyme and reason to vent. no, you are not killing yourself, you are just doing temporary damage to the good bacteria in your system by taking the antibiotics. Everything will re-grow in time, and heal once you are off them. The question is - when will you be off them?

I have one week to go on the Bactrim and 4 weeks on zithro. Am I nervous? yes - am I thinking about it much? NO. I guess although it was hell being sick with lyme and having to take care of 4 kids (husband included, LOL) - but now that I am able to take care of them again, I am so busy that I don't have time to think about Lyme.

Your symptoms are minimal, and you have to keep telling yourself that. If taking the antibiotics is really bothering you, then why don't you try switching to all herbs? Just a thought.

What are you experiencing as of now? are you still sleeping well??

keep us posted!!!

Hi Chapelle,

Well to be honest my symptoms got a lot better today! I worked 6 12 hour days in a row. Today I finally had a day off. I wanted to get in as much overtime as possible so I can order more Lyme treatments lol!

I am sleeping like a baby, and I slept most of the entire day away today.

I was laying in bed this morning and was getting that strange vibration sensation in my ear. Also I got that feeling of water flowing or electricity pulsing under my scalp. That came and went today.

But during those overtime days I was in lots of pain while working! I work lots with my hands and I worked hard. It is exercise anyways so I kind of need that. But I had bad arm and leg pain. It felt like in the bone? And my hands were burning! It felt like they got sunburned? But it's like they were sunburned on the inside. I think it is bartonella. But today it's gone away pretty much.

I know I'm probably doing well compared to many people with Lyme disease. But I'm still not happy to have Lyme disease :(, I need to vent about it ... maybe it's gone and all I have left is bartonella. I told my Mom and Dad about that today. I talked to another person with Lyme and he is saying that pulsing feeling like electricity/water flowing is likely bartonella.

One thing I can be positive about is my white tongue is gone! Yup no yeast at all and my white tongue is completely cleared up and pink again. I drink 2 bottles of kombucha a day, and every gulp I take I swish it around in my mouth for 5 minutes before I swallow it. I do that while I'm working. See I learned a few tricks.

Well look at the alternative. Who would be happy to have lyme?

Can't you take the ispot test. I think it can tell you if you have an active lyme infection.
