New to Lymes Disease

Not really sure what to ask or write here because my head is spinning. I've always taken really good care of myself, but last August I started feeling awful in every way and I had neck and nerve pain that caused massive migraines. My Nuero put me on migraine stuff, which helped a little, but it wasn't until my Chiro mentioned that my symptoms were spot on for Lymes. I got tested and since nothing is ever easy in the world if Lymes, I came back negative BUT I had mycoplasma pneumoniae and "high levels" of other things that pointed to parasites and Babesia and tick born illnesses, so I was started on a Lymes treatment. I've been on two different antibiotics and nasty parasite yellow liquid for two months and I barely see any improvement and don't think I've had a herd that I know of? Well, if I want to be optimistic I guess my neck pain is better and migraines are less, but that could also be because all I do is sleep. I try to run and I'm going to try and start the gym again, but who knows how that will work out. I guess my main problem is sinus related stuff. I try Claritan but I think something bad is happening with that since it is 2am and I can't sleep with a massive sinus headache. Also, It seems like everybody takes different herbal things or has a specific diet to help with healing. I'm pretty lost here, if you can't tell by my 2am rambling, so any advice to help me along would be welcomed!

Atovaquone 750 MG/5 Susp, 1 tsp twice a day ( nasty yellow stuff for the possible parasites)
Azithro 250MG twice a day and Minocycline 100MG twice a day.
I know this is a long slow fight, but I feel like my LLMD just handed me these meds and sent me on my way. I'm fumbling along and of course I read about all these other people on diets and doing detox and using herbal supplements. I'm just wondering if there is something out there in the Lyme community that really helps. I'm going back to the LLMD in a week and my minimal progress and/or herxing is not something I'm excited about!

Shizzy, lyme disease is not a regular old illness.

When I got sick I thought - a couple of weeks of antibiotics and I would be well. Well 4 plus weeks and nothing had changed at all.

This is not like any illness I had ever had and it was not improving. I was frustrated and I began my research.

One thing I did was I really listened to my body. When my body said it was tired, I slept. When it said, eat, I ate. If anything brought about an improvement, it was then in my daily routine.

I think the first thing that I discovered help me beside medical treatment was detoxing. I had been doing it for years as my regular routine, but with lyme I stepped it up. I drank even more lemon water, I added in more vegetables to my diet. I dry brushed before EVERY shower.

Then came the things I tried and they worked. I did children's liquid benadryl - just a cap full - before bed. I slept better and my head was not so stuffy!! Win. Then I found that cold showers took away my headaches. I was then taking 4-6 quick cold showers a day to get rid of the head pain. Another Win.

It was all trial and error and my stubbornness to get rid of lyme. I just kept on trying things until my body would say "hey, this feels good!"

Good luck and check out those detox methods link that Denikeef put in her post. Try one at a time, slowly. Not all at once or you will overwhelm your body.

Be super nice to your body and listen to it.

Wow! You are all so fantastic, I can't thank you enough. I understand the big thing about Lymes is that you don't treat the disease you treat the person. I'm really trying to listen to my body like PeteZa mentioned, but my head tells me one thing, my stomach tells me another, my body has a third opinion and of course my life has a pretty good say in what I can/ can't do. I crave crappy food and things like grilled chicken and veggies (a staple for an ex-triathlete) makes me queezy now. I feel that my sinuses are really causing me more issues than normal which is an additional problem in balancing all this medicine I'm attempting to balance. I will definitely check out the detox link and look forward to any other tips and tricks that are out there. Thank you so much for your time!
