Lyme treatment help!?!?

Hi everyone. I'm so sorry everyone here is dealing with this beast. For me it has been hell the past 8 or so years.
I will give a quick run down. I'm 31 with a 4 year old son. First diagnosed in 2008 after a battery of tests couldn't pin all my symptoms (fatigue, sharp headaches, constant all over muscle twitching. Numbness, tingling, insomnia, anxiety, you get it....)
After a couple months of doxy and still feeling bad I was referred to an infectious disease specialist in Nashville, tn. He looked at me and said you don't have Lyme, no one in Tennessee does. And told me I needed an anti anxiety med
Last week, I go for bloodwork due to exhaustion and headaches. Now the all over muscle twitching is back. Tested positive for Lyme and mono. I'm a single mom, a dental hygienist with no paid time off. So taking time off isn't an option.

My question is... What tx should I be doing? PA only put me on 10 days of doxy... I know that won't cut it and I know she doesn't know much about Lyme. What else can I do? I'm tired of this crap
Coming back, I don't have time to feel
This bad. I'm so desperate to feel well
Again!!
Any herbs, supplements, pulsing... I've just started reading about this tonight. Also, my eyesight is getting worse and it has been really hard to focus and see close up. I think that's part of it too.
Any help would be so much appreciated. Thanks soo much!
Praying for everyone who is suffering through this! Is there hope?!

Jlnisbett,

I am so glad you found us! And I am so sorry you have lyme, especially considering that you are mother to a four year old and a single parent. I really feel for you. Lyme can be a tough journey but you can do this.

10 days will not be enough. I would suggest that you find a LLMD (Lyme literate medical doctor). You may want to start yourself on a herbal protocol in the meantime. There are several good protocols to choose from. I started on Buhner's without a Dr. because I could not get into a LLMD for several months and I didn't want to wait. I went through the same thing you did. Years of symptoms, was told that we do not have Lyme in Iowa. Was tested twice and told it was negative. Then finally got tested through Igenix and found to have Lyme. So I purchased Stephen Buhners latest issue of Healing Lyme and am slowly healing.

I started with the core protocol.

Japanese Knotweed, Cat's Claw and Eleuthero Root. It has made a difference for me.

If you need more information about Buhners or other protocols for that matter there are a lot of us that can help you!

I also have vision problems. I have been using Stephania and Bilberry which I do believe is helping.

Also you will need to detox and I would suggest you start right away. There is a link in the New to Lyme thread for some great detox methods. You will want to start slowly with this.

You may have a lot of questions and there are always people here willing to listen and answer any questions you may have.

There is hope! You are not alone in this!
