Hey Rikky, Thanks, it is helpful to hear. I hope you keep seeking healing as well. It is so hard to get up and move and keep going. I know I need to process the grief... I started getting very sick...
Thanks, Pirouette. I appreciate your reply. Anniversaries and holidays are just so hard. It really brings into focus just how long it has been and how much my life has changed. I had been undiagnosed...
I know one that may be in the area for you. I'll message you directly....
1,297 Days ago my health crisis began 13 doctors, numerous x rays, and MRI and nerve test with zero results 730 Days since my doctor told me she thought it was Lyme I see the ghost of who I would...
Thanks for all of your replies! I am glad my story was helpful. Life is hard with lyme... I am lucky I have a good support system, but my heart goes out to everyone who doesn't have someone willing...
Hello everyone! It has been almost a year since I have posted. I have used so much of the information you all have provided, and especially at the beginning, it was incredibly powerful and helpful...
I realized I have so much grief in my recovery process. I've been an unusually cheery person my entire life, so going through so much grief... putting this on my husband, quitting my job, expensive...
I struggled with this a lot too. I noticed it was worse when I was stressed or frustrated, so I tried to give myself extra time to do everything (as a previous procrastinator, this has been a huge...
I cut out most processed foods and sugar when I started to treat Lyme naturally before Xmas. I started on Paleo in April, and have found a huge difference. I think gluten really makes my knees swell,...
It's absolutely a financial battle. I had to resign from my job, and it's much harder to manage the bills that stack up. I'm married, and it is still a huge burden on both of us. My heart goes out to...
YAY! That's great news, Traveler. :D...
Ha, I know just what you mean. I had a few hours where I felt like "myself" again. I was trying to explain it to my husband. The easiest thing I could equate it to is finding and old favorite...
So sorry to hear it. I also had a frozen shoulder and was unable to use my right arm for quiet some time. Now I know my limits (still want to push them, but trying not to! lol). Therapeutic ice packs...
Thanks, PeteZa, I'm trying it now. :D I've had trouble staying asleep throughout the night, so this could help with that too!...
ACS73- That would make trying paleo more difficult. I think you could get some extra calories from healthy fat sources. Most people don't eat too many nuts on Paleo, and I think to replace eggs you...
Blueberrymuffin, Here's the link to the ones I have. http://www.amazon.com/RX-Vitamins-Licorice-Health-Beauty/dp/B003PQTIB8 Like I said, they aren't sweet, but they do the trick. Overall, Paleo has...
That's really kind of you. :) My brother calls a couple times a week just to check in. That helps a lot, because I do feel isolated too. I also had to quit driving for a few months, so if he's in...
Blueberry muffin.. I am sorry to hear that. I'm sure you're working with your doctor about your stomach issues. I've been having mild pain compared to yours. I often have nausea for several hours and...
I definitely agree, Tillybear! I brew my own Kombucha and try to eat plenty of fermented foods. I was hoping dairy wouldn't effect me so I could try more of the keto recipes (I followed that diet a...
Hi Blueberry Muffin, Sure! I used PDF's from this link: http://balancedbites.com/practicalpaleo/ to help me know what to buy at the grocery store. I was also gifted the book "Well Fed" by Melissa...
Thank you, PeteZa! I was so afraid of giving up food that made me happy, that I didn't realize the food was literally making me so unhappy!...
At the beginning of April I finally decided to try the Paleo diet. I wanted to focus on eating GF and dairy free. I already cut most processed foods in January and stayed away from refined sugar. I...
I do have a root canal with a crown over it. I went to a biological dentist last week (after reading the info from the summit). I'm not sure how much of a difference it would make. I would love to be...
Thank you! I went on Friday. I actually felt like I drank a cup of coffee instead of being there. The first several sessions I was completely worn out afterwards. This time I felt good and more like...
I have been going to acupuncture for about four weeks now (1 session a week). For those of you who have received benefit from it, how long did it take to notice? How long does the pain relief or...
Thank you for the info, everyone! :smilewinkgrin:...
Has anyone had trouble with activated charcoal keeping them up at night? I took it for the second time last night, and while I was exhausted, could not sleep for hours. I am wondering if it was the...
Hey Amanda, I'm 26 and dealing with lymes. I have been sick for over two years without a diagnosis. Finally, I found a doctor who caught it. I've been doing treatments since Thanksgiving and have...
Thank you all for your replies! It is really helpful to not feel so isolated. Currently, I am working at reorganizing and overhauling my brother's apartment. It's a few hours a week when I can do it,...
I am definitely more sensitive to touch. When I go to get a massage, I am extra sensitive. Even a regular pat on my back hurts for a moment. I don't notice it in the car though....
Hello. I've read several threads on healing well about lymes, and it has been very helpful. I've been sick for almost two years, and just in the last two months have found out it is lymes and have...
