Hi Louise and happyjo,
Yes, I had severe symptoms as far as extreme fatigue, so much joint pain, lost the use of my legs for a long time (I had to use crutches), brain fog, oh golly, this was such a long time ago that I am probably leaving things out. Besides lyme I had ehrlichiosis including the non-productive cough.
I was also on a budget which I why I wanted to try Dr. Jernigan's "healing at home" protocol and I was really surprised how much better I felt just taking the Borrelogen. I didn't have any residues of chemicals in my body since it was a really long time when I stopped the Doxy (it made me sicker) and I tried all various things such as silver, nutramedix samento, and who knows what else? Again, I'm trying to think back 10 years ago...
I don't know about Lymogen because Dr. J. didn't invent it yet when I was on his protocol. Borrelogen has been around longer and that's what I took.
First 3 months: I took Borrelogen and Neuro-Antitox CNS/PNS Formula
Next 3 months: Stopped Borrelogen and took Microbojen (still taking the CNS/PNS Formula)
Next 3 months: Took all 3 together (Borrelogen, Microbojen and CNS/PNS Formula)
I felt cured then but Dr. Jernigan stated to continue even if you feel healed. So I continued taking the Borrelogen, Microbojen and the Neuro-Antitox CNS/PNS Formula for another 3 months.
What also made a huge difference in how I felt is when I started taking detox baths (dry skin brushing first), foot baths, using a portable infrared sauna, and got the nerve to start coffee enemas (that made me really nervous at first, not the coffee but the idea of it).
I would go back to Dr. Jernigan's book and read about liver cleanses, replenishing baths, and healthy eating. I cut all the fast food and processed foods out of my diet (even to this day), I go to the farmers market and buy veggies that are locally grown here in Vermont and just try to eat as healthy as I can.
I also needed to examine the stressors in my life (that was hard) and see what I could do about that. Moving to Vermont brought a sense of peace within myself. I had to rid myself of negative people who tried to bring me down including my ex-husband and certain friends. Golly, I gave you more information than I planned to!!
Have you read the pdf's of Borrelogen and Lymogen? They are on the hansacenter.com website.
Louise, if you don't feel any difference from the lymogen in 4 weeks, switch over to the Borrelogen. I believe it was IgeneX that tested Borrelogen and found so much dead lyme bacteria from people that used that botanical.
I don't know if this helps or not... I hope it does. Hang in there okay? It really does get better!
