Hi everyone I’m on month five of mino, flagly, Zithromax,and LDN. I’m also on a ton of supports. I’m feeling a heck of a lot better then when I started but I’m still incredibly fatigued. My sister says my face and eyes look very worn out. Is there anything else I can do to help with the fatigue? I’m guessing my body is so worn out from fighting so hard so I’m hoping that eventually I’ll get some spunk back. Right now I’m on vitamin b12 injections, ATP fuel and do a lot of detoxing everyday including lemon, Epson salts baths, the sauna three times a week and tinctures such as lymph drain. Is there anything else I can add in or do to get more energy? Should I ask my doctor to check for things like thyroid again? I seem to get most worn out about 10am and then again at around 4pm. Thanks guys

Same problem. Does it seem like your energy dips after you eat? What is your diet like?

I wouldn’t say it drops after I eat. My diet is very good. I had a splurge week because it was my birthday but other then that I eat very healthy. I’ve given up gluten, alcohol and caffeine. Maybe our bodies are fighting really hard right now and we’ll feel better once we stop treatment? I hope so!

Hi, HeartsinPain. So sorry you are struggling. Energy and stamina are things so many of us yearn for! Something that struck me about your description of your current treatment was that you are on so many things! And they might all be very good and necessary! But I think sometimes our bodies need a break from all that processing. At times I have taken a few weeks off without any supplements or other treatments I ingest, just to give my detox and elimination pathways a break. Usually I feel a little lighter after a week or so. That might not be the right idea for you depending on your instincts or your treatment plans, but just wanted to throw it out there.

I would ask your Lyme doc to test full thyroid, adrenals, EBV and mycoplasma.

Thanks so much guys I really appreciate the advice!
Those are both great suggestions!

Post by Walkingby Faith is a good thought. Just had that done as it can tell you much more, hopefully.

If you have adrenal fatigue which I'm sure you do, you aren't producing enough cortisol. This will make your thyroid sluggish which controls your metabolism and energy basically. You'll probably have to go on supplements or take some sort of cortisone substitute.

This certainly isn't an option for everyone, but I am getting an increase of energy by switching to the ketosis diet. I've been doing it for about a month, and I am finally seeing improvement. We are doing other adrenal support too though. I am taking holy basil 2x/day, an adrenal formula with extremely high pantothenic acid levels, and several sources of vitamin c. However, I had been on those supplements for several weeks before ketosis and didn't get the lift in energy like I got once I got into ketosis. Once I got fat-adapted, I began seeing several improvements. Plus the low carb is helping my candida and parasite problems. I would do tons of research before considering that as an option as it is controversial.

I use these really cool patches that pulse low levels of electricity to drive medication into your skin. It’s with NAD+ Drops and the iontopatch by archway apothecary. I also take this energy supplement Stamina SR. Between the two things I am able to work out on a regular basis (but I have also treated Lyme for a long time and am in remission). Something else that has helped in the past is giving myself micro doses of injectable magnesium and taurine.

I have been treating MARCONS for a week with vancomycin nasal spray and beg spray and the fatigue seems to be almost gone. If you haven't checked marons you may consider

Hi Magoo thanks for the tip! What exactly are MARCONS?
Posted 3/2/2019 2:12 AM (GMT 0)
google it and you will find plenty of good stuff to read but its a deep nasal infection

Don’t forget that detoxing removes vital minerals and vitamins.
We think detox detox detox but don’t remember(follow through) to add mega loads of essential minerals and trace minerals to replace what’s stripped out.

Adding these back will help with the fatigue as we move forward

Thanks Magoo.
And thank you so much Crazy Lady! I have honestly never thought about that but it’s so so true! Ty!!
