Some days are better than others but I have so much stiffness when I walk. I do have degenerative discs and spinal stenosis but neither of those ever bothered me too much until I got lyme !!

Is all this from LD & Babesia?

Yes, it is sueg. But it should get better with treatment. It really helps if you can keep moving, as uncomfortable as that is. That will keep your muscles strong and healthy and move toxins out of the area.

Yoga can be a lot of help, too. Especially twists.

I hope this gets better for you soon.

Hi Sueg,

Do you have access to a pool? Swimming might help and it's easy on the joints. Anything you can do to get lymph moving can help - walking, yoga (as Achievinggrace suggested), rebounding.

Hot baths also helped me some, especially baths with bentonite clay and apple cider vinegar.

I hope you feel better soon!

If you can afford it, a Biomat might help ease the pain. The pro model, which is the longer one, works the best since your whole body is on it. I use mine a lot. It feels like the sun on your back, sinking in deep, very different than a heating pad.

Maybe a sauna would help too. Whatever you do, I hope you can get some relief.
