I’ve mentioned this topic a lot on here, but i’m just looking for reassurance and hope at this point. If any of you have had intrusive thoughts and anxiety from bart/lyme have you seen improvement through treatment. This is my biggest symptom and always has been, through treatment it has gotten better, but is still always there every day. The intrusive thoughts are what cause the anxiety and they feel so real. Do psych symptoms hold on longer in lyme and bart? or is my brain just used to this pattern and is not even the lyme anymore. I still have joint pain and headaches, but I feel as though most of my symptoms have started to diminish. Made the mistake of going to an Infectious Disease Doctor yesterday and he basically told me to see a therapist and theres no way any of my symptoms are from bart or lyme. Should have listened to all of you and not gone!! Gonna continue with my herbs and tinctures and I have an appointment with an LLMD soon.

So sorry that you are dealing with this. I am glad that you are seeing a LLMD soon because I have heard a lot of people say that their neuro symptoms get drastically better with treatments. What herbs and tinctures are you on now? And are you detoxing at all, I know that I feel best after going to the sauna or taking an empsiom salt bath. I hope this helps you a little, try to hang in there until you see you LLMD. Keep us updated.

Glad that your symptoms are diminishing and that in many respects you're better. Sounds like you're not using abxs now--but I had a pretty awful herx when I added Flagyl to the (basically Babesia and Bb) protocol that I'm doing now. Severe depression, dark thoughts, anxiety, and feeling like I had the flu for a day. My LL PA has thought that I've got some brain involvement/inflammation. And she's suggested Chinese Skullcap all along, since I have a history of chronic depression also. Skullcap affects the blood/brain barrier along with other barrier tissues, allowing the herbs (and also abx) to work more effectively, I believe. (This is from what I understand, reading Buhner.) Might be worth a try, if you're not already using Skullcap. He mentions it (along with his core protocol) for anxiety, and for severe CNS/brain involvement.
Best of luck!

I’ve been taking oregano supplements, milk thistle, the tinctures are made up for lyme by an Asyra doctor, but im unsure of the exact herbs in them since I don’t have it with me at the moment. I’ve gone to a sauna twice, but plan to go again soon. Ive been dry brushing before showering and drinking lemon water and alka seltzer gold with lemon too. I’m just unsure if this is a constant herx or a constant symptom if that makes sense.
