Hey guys,

So I was doing much better for about a month. I have been on anti-biotic treatment as well as Stephen Buhner's core protocol for about 4 months total now. I started to work again and have been working full-time for about 3 weeks now. Problem is, about five days ago my symptoms started to come back... The worst of which has been nausea and upset stomach, especially in the morning. Along with this has been shortness of breathe, diziness, and extreme fatigue. My "demons" have started to come back into my head because of this questioning if I am doing the right thing. I want to be out there with my friends snowboarding, but on my last two days off I was pretty much too tired to even get out of bed, and today, I had to take off from work. I contacted my LLMD and she told me to stop taking the tinctures and supplements I am taking and just take the doxy and the probiotics. But I've been on the tinctures and supplements for a while now and was almost symptom free for a few weeks while on them. Why would they all of a sudden create so much nausea. I know in my head that most doctors would tell me that what I'm doing is not right and to stop listening to my LLMD. Sometimes I think I should believe them and just load up on more anti-depressants like they always say. I am really in a kind of personal hell here. I've gotten everything in my life to where I want it but feel like complete crap.

-I've tested on WB's positive for Lyme 5 times since I was in 4th grade. Been on Prozac since 12th grade. 4 months ago started treatment for chronic lyme. Had a CD-57 test come out at 34 (normal range is like 100-250).

What should I do? I don't know who to really trust. All the doctors who seem to agree with my LLMD, including my LLMD seem to be like some type of chinese-medicine, holistic, accupuncture, shaman type doctor, and the classic doctor's seem to think im just crazy and depressed.

Any thoughts?

It almost sounds like you were re-infected. Maybe it is a time to take a break, re-group and do at it again???

Did something stressful come into your life?

Did you change something in your protocol?

And, of course, I am going to ask about detoxing? Are you being consistent with that?

4 months rings a bell in my head because that is about the life of a red blood cell. Have you treated for Babesia?

What would you suggest for a detox method? I take chlorella, but I feel I may need to try something like alka-seltzer gold? Thoughts? My Main problem is nausea and lack of appetite. I think that is what is giving me low energy...

I would read this list and add in as many items as you can but not all at once. Slowly add in items.

You cannot over detox!!!

Your tummy needs to get fixed and for that I highly suggest organic bone broth.

www.pacificfoods.com/food/broths-stocks/bone-broths/organic-bone-broth-turkey.aspx

You can get it on Amazon. You can drink it like a tea or you can jazz it up with some chopped vegetables. If you use cruciferous ones you have just done 2 detox items.

I'm wondering if you starting work again has triggered a relapse.

Maybe it was too much, too soon?

Im going to try some apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, ginger juice, and an epsom salt bath. Thats what I currently have on hand and I live pretty far away from any pharmacies. Ill definitely look into the bone broth. Thanks so much!

Girlie, that is what I am fearing. Going from resting all day to getting up at 6am and working 40-50 hours a week. I am going to try to take it back to more like 30-40 hours. Its just tough being 26 and looking healthy. When I feel healthy as well its really easy for me to get back into my healthy work habits...

I think that's a good idea - to cut back and see how you do.

This is a good time of year to make your own bone broth. I made nearly a gallon out of Thanksgiving's turkey 'carcass'.

I also have to giant slices of beef bone in my freezer from the grocery store and last night I made gulf shrimp shell broth to use in cooking rice, etc.

Once again you have yeast problems. Whenever you put yeast in your mouth it will restart again and the cycle with yeast never ends. Try a couple of weeks without yeast bread and any beer full of brewers yeast and you will see big changes. I know exactly what you're. Going through. I stopped yeast and my life changed back to normal.

Just want to add nausea and dizziness and confusion is what you get when you drink too many beers'. That's the brewers yeast that does that and as far as cleaning out your colon for 30 days of a couple of big glasses of milk a day will really do huge things for your health.

World healing, you have no idea if golden goose has been drinking at all, and there are other reasons people with Lyme infections have these symptoms.


Golden goose, pay attention to PeteZa's detoxing link and suggestions, because these are similar to the symptoms I had last year while on Doxy. I didn't know about detoxing then, or anything else I should be doing.

Yes, see about getting your hours cut until at least after the first of the year. If you can, figure out if you can cut back to part time - 20-25 hours a week so you can dedicate more time to your healing.

World healing, unless you have theses infections or believe you have these infections, you need to stay in your own forum. Dispensing uneducated opinions on others conditions is dangerous. We fight against that all the time.

if you take probiotic after or before treatment you will 100% replace.because probiotics cause neurotoxocity in lyme patient because of leaky gut.so if you are taking any kind of artificial probiotic you should completely stop if to see improvement.

Golden...I would definitely listen about the need for more detoxing! Activated charcoal is my "go-to" for when I need to bump up on the detox and it starts to help within an hour. You just have to take it 2 hours before/after anything else. Ginger tea is also good for nausea. Dandelion root tincture in water also seems to help me a lot (I'm not sure what exactly it's supposed to help with, but it seems to settle my stomach and anxiety.)

Good luck and happy detoxing!

Pmm, Dandelion root tincture helps to detox the liver.
