I posted here yesterday. 20 years old, got bit 3 years ago, treated ASAP with 2 weeks of doxy, all symptoms went away. Felt great for 3 years, now have a dull pain in my tailbone / lower back while sitting. No pain while walking, standing, or laying down. Have had this dull pain for about 2 weeks now, does not seem to be improving. I'm not even sure this is from the Lyme, and I don't know how to test for it. I guess my questions are, if I have chronic Lyme, can I expect it to get a lot worse? How can I treat it? Since it only happened 3 years ago and I caught it quickly, is there a chance my chronic symptoms won't be as bad in the long term?

I know I need to see a LLMD but I'm stuck on campus until May 1.
What should I do?

"Stuck on campus until May1" - meaning you don't have a ride to get to doctors?

If that's the case, are you open to using herbs? There are some herbal therapies that you can get started with, as well as detoxing and working on your diet to help "prepare" your body.

Agreed, anything you can do meantime will be beneficial.

Of course I am open to using herbs. Please tell me what to do and I'll do it.

cweber, we have so few LLMD's for all of the infected people that they are generally booked well in advance anyway. Just be sure to make your appointment asap, and when you are able to go, start calling to see if any cancellations have happened that you might be bumped in to.

On herbals protocols, order one of the books that have popular protocols in them. Someone can give your Rawl's information, or as a good alternative Stephen H. Buhner's "Healing Lyme 2nd edition" is really good. Fairly inexpensive on Amazon. Or go to his website

I never like to assume someone is open to using herbs, sorry!
I would encourage you to look into Buhner's protocols and Cowdens protocol. We have quite a few members here using those two protocols and are having some good results. Buhner's has protocols for different infections, but with Cowden's, we mostly see that effective for Lyme only.

Here is a link to a site based on Buhner's protocol, although if you wish to use it, I would greatly encourage you to buy his books, as they are not expensive and have a ton of very good information to help you through like extended protocols to help deal with some of the more serious symptoms that you may be dealing with.

A link to Cowden's protocol: www.nutramedix.ec/ns/cowden-support-program

That will allow you to "take a peek" at the protocols and what they entail for the most part. If one resonates with you, then I would encourage you to follow that one.

Keep asking those questions!

Hi! I used to have tailbone pain when sitting for longer periods of time. It wasn't related to Lyme though. Something was out of alignment in my hips and after a few chiropractors adjustments and Pilates to strengthen everything, it went away. Just wanted to give you another perspective in case your pain is not Lyme related. I pray for you that it isn't...
