Update, feeling much better, but still all over the road map with treatment

I just wanted to let everyone know I feel much better this week. I STOPPED the Vital Plan... I decided it was just making me herx too much and I wasn't sleeping well.

But I did up my dose of lipo vitamin C and lipo glutathione again and fee so much better. My energy levels are so close to back to normal which is another great point.

Strange thing is I stopped my thyroid med and felt much much worse and then doubled my thyroid med to 2 pills... and I feel soooo much better it is incredible. I think the thyroid pill really is key for me.

I still eat the bullet proof diet, and take the buhner Bart herbs which still continues to keep Bart in check. I do 1 full dropper full of cryptolepis, sida acuta, houttunyia, cat's claw, Japanese knotweed, rhodiola, ashwagandha, and red root. I feel like 1 dropper full is actually the best dose now as more then that and i get more burning. At this dose it's kind of the keep symptoms to a minimum. Mind you whenever I dose herbs I only measure in dropper fulls! Lol I guess I can try counting drops.

Happy to hear your good news, LP!

May it long continue!!

As a long-time thyroid patient (years before Lyme), I fully appreciate what an appropriate dose of thyroid meds can do for a person. Kudos to you for finding something that works!

Girlie. It was bartonella that damaged my thyroid... OR a possibility is actually me taking minocycline for 8 months. Or a combination.

To be totally honest, I don't truly know if I ever did truly get Lyme. I may have just got bartonella and got the symptoms confused. I got a huge feedback from others that borrelia can't be spread person to person through tears but I think bartonella can be by the articles I have read and is actually a much more contagious disease.

Girlie, I am dosing the herbs 3 times daily. I just trailed a double dropper full with all the single dropper fulls. Sida, houttuynia, and Japanese knotweed are now double dropper fulls. I feel worse again but I guess I gotta just keep the dose high if I will ever rid myself of this.

Thanks for the kind words CD and traveler! Ya darn thyroid, I think I will need to treat bartonella first until it is in remission if it ever gets there and for a few months, and then try and resolve the thyroid.

Lymepickle - yikes - about the mino damaging the thyroid...Maybe it can be reversed now that you're off the mino?


You are doing well, though...that's great!
