Pain and exhaustion--please help

Have you seen an LLMD or used antibiotics? I'm very sensitive to certain herbs also but tolerate antibiotics very well, and they help me. Not that I don't use any herbs, but the antibiotics have brought the greatest improvement.

Have you tried milk thistle supplement & roasted dandelion root tea for working toxins out? I found it to be gentle. I can't even tolerate aspirin, various smells bother me, latex(like bands around underwear) now causes itching and if I persist on wearing it, causes small,deep boils! Electronics & even electric heating pads bother me....I add a good-quality (raw,extra virgin,organic) coconut oil to the tea. Then I use charcoal capsules, once or twice a week- away from supplements. I was amazed at the effectiveness of topical pain cream which we make using top-grade essential oils. Copaiba oil+Hemp oil or coconut oil helps topically. I even tolerate using 2 drops of the Copaiba eo, neat under the tongue along with RSO(RickSimpson Oil)It helps the pain but I'm not suggesting that others do what I'm doing unless they fully research it and start slowly with tiny amounts if they feel it's right for them. Copaiba oil can be rough on the gut used internally. Soaking my feet in Magnesium Chloride also relaxes me & helps pain. I also tolerate proteolytic enzyme product called ProOneZyme-for biofilm-busting but that's for after your body's in a much more stable state. Hope you're able to find helpful methods of healing & get feeling better soon. Even if I feel, I'm lying to myself, I repeatedly think, "I am well, I am healthy, I am well, etc" -Positive affirmations- mantras really do help. Drinking a lot of water helps. a teaspoon of baking soda mixed in a glass of water seems to help my pain, too. Alkalizing the body can only help. A tablespoon of blackstrap molasses twice a day, helps & adds vital nutrients. Tastes God-awful but truly beneficial.

Hello, all. I'm new here but have had Lyme for a long time, been in treatment for three years now. I use many of the herbs from the Buhner protocol.
I'm too chemically sensitive to take a lot of herbs in general without herxing (my doses are about 4-5 drops of tinctures rather than 1/4 teaspoons), but my pain level is so high. I'm also chronically exhausted and have brain fog/fatigue and can't function well. After three years I'm starting to feel a bit hopeless. Any ideas/help?

You sound very much like me. Mold is a big part of my issues. After moving out of the house and into my car, I reduced some symptoms. Most recently, I have tried Rx anti-fungals for the first time. Took Fluconazole daily for 2 months and didn’t notice much except bowel function improved initially but then worsened after food cravings sent me a sugar frenzy.

Then, I was put on Nystatin. It was rough at first, as I herxed on it. After I got to full doses and got past the herxing, I had improvements in overall pain and chemical sensitivities. This is the first improvement I have had in sensitivities for quite some time. Along with the improvements in sensitivities, I noticed I was able to easily increase doses on some other herbs without herxing.

Deal with mold in your environment and mold/yeast/fungal in your GI tract. Should help. P.S. - I first had big improvements in April 2018 after over a month of Candicid Forte. I expelled a massive amount of what I now think was yeast/fungal with possibly some ropeworm. Had noticeable improvements in numerous symptoms for weeks afterwards, but it all gradually came back, probably because I didn’t keep a clean diet. When I tried to replicate the success by taking Candicid Forte again, it did not have the same effect. I am now on Rx antifungals and have some improvements once again.
