So I was the strong workout athletic type 8 months ago and been in treatment 3 months. Starting to have "better" days. Just wondering to those that healed....did your muscles come back. My muscles have vanished. Does that return. Thank you

I'm not healed yet, but my muscles are coming back.

Lyme hit April, 2013. Within a matter of weeks, I lost 14 lbs along with muscle atrophy.

Diagnosed, and started treatment July, 2014. I was still at that time about the same - had only gained a couple of lbs. Muscles still atrophied.

I noticed an improvement first in weight gain and then in muscles. By summer, 2015 my muscles were starting to come back...
I am exercising at least every other day...to build my muscles back up. I've still got a ways to go, but it's getting there.

Girlie you say you are not healed but work out. How healed are you

Well, hard to say. I had about 40 symptoms - and I have improvement or abatement of 20 (approximately)

Many of the 20 are greatly improved or completely gone.

June 27, 2016 I ended my herbs and I swam all summer - about every day average for about 30-45 minutes, well missed a few days . Not super hard at all. Just slowly getting my muscles to work. Swimming gets those tendons and ligaments ready for use. It is a very gentle way to start.

Last week I bought a step in cruiser bike (27 gears). I have a knarly mountain bike, but that it just too hard core for me still. Now I ride every morning and swim mid morning. Another gentle step in my physical activity. I am a tad sore, but I don't get to the point where I can't ride the next day. I think getting that sore is hurtful and you lose time healing instead of working.

Oh and I have swung the bat a few times. Hitting rocks out into the lake... I am such a dork, but it was fun.

Muscles do come back. I don't think I will do weights until it is too cold to swim and ride. Then I will hit the weights and my stationary bike.

They'll come back. I can't handle the protein load required to get mine like they were, but they'll come back.

My muscles came back too.

Bumping.

For Trav and girlie. Why do you think muscle came back for you all?

Is it because the nerves healed? Is it because lyme and co weren't breaking them down anymore? Was it because of reduced toxin and inflammation?

All the above?

My muscle wasting has slowed, but not halted.

I wish I can pin point more why it's happening more than simply saying it's just lyme that does it.

Dacarte - i'm not sure. But, I know that my muscle depletion/atrophy happened very first...i'm sure it was nerve related. Not only did they shrink (while I lost weight) - my legs were also shaky - I had tremors...which definitely was nerve-related.

Mine aren't completely back yet...but I am still treating...so maybe it's too soon to expect my bodacious, hard body to be back.... tongue

Interesting. I'm going through what you went through but two years in.

Lyme really does what it wants WHEN it wants

Oh and by the way girlie my Neuro symptoms of head fog, wobbly wonky feeling when walking, vertigo, leg shakiness greatly improved after taking Pinella.

However those symptoms got worse for almost 4 days first. Herx?

Still muscle twitching. Epsom salt helps but only for half a day.
