Starting over?

sorry to hear of your struggles

i think you may have alluded to the approach - but if it were me i think i would just focus on the health promoting things that help all of us and help regulate your immune system so your body is able to at least stabilise your condition and increase your resilience.

the things i would focus on are

-getting my sleep stabilised to a good 7.5hrs or more

-eating as good a diet as possible - i have had very good results from a ketogenic approach
( but as a minimum eating only real whole foods, removing gluten, sugar, processed food and industrial fats)

- some form of movement / exercise is important - that may be different depending on your abilities - may only be walking short distances or stretching - but the key thing is to start doing something no matter how small and work on building form there

- stress management - find what works for you - could be time in nature, could be time meditating or yoga or whatever you actively do to disentangle stress from your thoughts and your body
lyme et all ramps up this stress reaction and without some steps to manage it it will gnaw away at your health - DNRS or GUPTA are i think highly systemised forms of this.

and i mention this one last but it is very important - but can be hard to find - some form of social support network - people who really understand what you are going through and will support you - the lyme journey is very tough - we humans need someone around who understands us and our struggles

i think if you can do all of these things - your body will put itself in a better place than it is today - and be in a better place to tolerate the inevitable fallout from treatment
then you could think about actively treating - but i would do the above first - otherwise it often just overloads the body to start treating when its already in a bad way resulting in flares, having to stop again and basically little or no progress

Are you saying you’re in current mold exposure? What are your options for escaping from that?

That would be the most ideal next step, but of course, I understand how incredibly difficult that can prove to be in reality.

I am living in my car to escape dying from the mold in the house. Woke up early and had some congestion. opened the car door to hark and spit and got whacked in the face with the unmistakable smell of mold. It was a sharp reminder that even outdoor mold is inescapable in these parts.

Have you looked into cold laser therapy?

You also should get the leak in your ceiling fixed ASAP if it is still leaking. I don't know what to say about mold exposure, but getting the leak fixed and ceiling repaired might help if you can afford it. You could try an air cleaner. I don't know which ones actually filter out mold.

Artemisinin really helped me get more stable to the point where I could decide what to do next. I would recommend artemisinin or artemisia annua, if you want to start slowly.

Hi CalmLittleBuddha,

Sorry to hear about your situation. All I can suggest is what worked for me which was Jernigan's protocol.

If you have the time you can read his free chapter below that consists of a healing protocol including herbal remedies:

Just a suggestion,

Thank you both so much for your help! I will look into both of those suggestions. I was wondering if any of you have ever had this symptom, when I look in the mirror to make a part in my hair it looks like it’s perfectly in the middle but when I look at pictures of myself the part is over to one side,Its like my vision or brain is off. Thank you again I really appreciate everyone’s help!
