Welcome ClaireJoy!
So sorry for the reason you're here but glad you found us. This forum is filled with caring and knowledgeable people. I hope you'll stick around.
If you haven't done so already, please read through the "New to Lyme? Start Here!" thread that sits at the top of the forum. It's filled with great information such as symptoms lists, tips for detoxing, help with test interpretation and more.
Getting started a detox protocol now will bode well for you in the future. We are exposed to toxins every day and our infections add to that load - extremely. The sooner you start to clear those toxins, the more ready your body will be to handle treatment when even more toxins are created as the bugs die.
Employing multiple detox methods that you do daily will help you feel better and expedite healing. Here's a link to one of my favorite sites that explains why we need to detox and includes a very comprehensive list of detoxing suggestions:

I created a tinyurl link to Google books so you can read a few pages of his book:

healing and his latest Lyme, Babesia and Bartonella protocols. Please let me know if you have any questions.
We're here for you.
