August Update --- slow but steady progress

I haven’t been around much because I’ve had enough mental energy to be able to chunk out some book projects. I pop in for a quick read and see how everyone is and send positive energy.

Remaining symptoms
GERD – really been upset of late – my tummy has been the biggest bother of late
Headaches – but they are improving
Depression
Floaters
Woozy – seems to be improving
Fatigue and overall weakness – an iota better
Ear pain, jaw pain, eye pain – definitely improved
Low appetite – weight was at 94 and really making an effort to bring it up, think back up to 98 lbs.
Muscle cramping – seems to be mildly improved, been using a mix of a concoction of Epsom salts dissolved in aloe vera juice
Sweats and wonky temperature regulation – seems a bit more, treating babesia at the moment
Low body temperature - just haven't had much success getting it higher at all. It has gone up like 3 notches. 97.4 to 97.6, and it drops with exercise.
Legs cramp up when I walk, going to see GP again to rule out peripheral artery stuff, or something going on in my lumbar spine
Winded really easily
Voice hurts when sing – this is slowly improving as I treat the GERD.
Neck pain, mid back pain, hip pain
Pain flares – but seems to be improving!

It feels like I am turning the corner.

Since June I have focused on co-infections.
In mid-July I began to consider candida and made adjustments. It seems like treating the candida initially brought on really gnarly fatigue and made things worse, but things seem to be lightening up.

I did a parasite cleanse three years ago, before this health crisis, and my gut is telling me to consider doing another one.

Found this great link – someone here suggested this site – and I agree, has some great stuff on it.

Hope it is alright to give the occasional update.

To think of where I was in January..this is month 8 of a lyme protocol.

1. treat it
2. I herxed on stuff
3. symptoms reduction

That's enough for me to know, it is what it is!

Temp reg is likely a thyroid thing ..are you on iodine or dessicated ? Mangosteen for floaters ..mag theonate for cramping ..also calcuim and potassium...glad to hear inprovements ..i started in nov

Girlie - thanks so much for the positivity!
Bluelyme - i always suspected thyroid, but my GP says no, the CMD I saw says no, and one needs a prescription to get desiccated. HUGE thanks for the Mangosteen tip and mag theonate. Wow! Your one year at this is around the corner!
CD - big grins of gratitude!

Gerd, heartburn, etc. I swear by baking soda. 1 tsp to 8 ounces of water. Chug it fast because it tastes so gross and salty.

You will have huge burps but this will neutralize your stomach acid. I highly recommend it before bed.

Just allow yourself about 1/2 hour of burping.
