Sleep has been a challenge for me too. I fall asleep but wake up every few hours for bathroom trips and or back discomfort issues. Lyme infected my bladder and created an urgency condition when I...
Hi disillusioned404 During my struggle with Lyme and co-infections, I tried many different approaches to heal myself. Now, I am approaching 100% recovered. In essence, I engineered myself back to...
Hi Girlie. My DDD Dx was about 12 years ago. I do not know if I still have it from the imaging perspective. From my flexibility, pain reduction and general movements, I would have to say it was...
Saraeli, For most of my adult life I had frequent back outages and pain. I had complete work ups at two top spinal centers. The x-rays and MRI’s indicated multiple levels of Degenerative Disk...
BlueRidgeDave One thing I forgot to mention to you. Fresh made bone broth based vegetable soup was extremely important for healing. I typically made a gallon of this every few weeks and consumed it...
Hi BlueRidgeDave Sorry to hear of your spine issues. For sure, spine issues are very debilitating and like so many diseases can take away all your joy. When you can’t tie your shoes because of the...
It works great, been doing it for years. Mostly at the first indication of pain or discomfort from a tooth or gum. Just this week had a very mild pain from an old crown that needs to be replaced and...
Hi IntheUK You asked "what was my course of treatment" , I am more then happy to provide it. You will find my treatment protocol by reviewing my first post on this excellent forum. Go to 4/28 and see...
Intheuk, Before Lyme I was very fit. I would work out at the gym 4 times a week. In addition, biking and hiking during the week. During my Lyme decline, I could do little exercise. Too much pain,...
Brandwine, You may want to jump to the Dry Rawls or the Marty Ross sites. Both package the same Buhner herbs or modified a bit. Both reconize and give credit to Mr Buhner. I went with the Rawls herbs...
Squirrels also carry tics and drop them off as they move around. My yard became overrun by them. They were everywhere. This year in May I built a squirrel trap and reduced the herd. In total I...
I had this effect or reaction also. Drinking alcohol made me so ill that I stopped for well over a year. With Lyme we are ill and our body does not need additional stress from drinking. As I recall,...
Thanks Girlie, Will do and have been keeping an eye out for anything suspicious. In an odd way I view the new bites over the past two months as a kind of stress test of my recovery. I have been in...
So far this year I have pulled 5 ticks off of me. All attached and sucking away. This is a bad tic year and I think the mild Virginia winter last year allowed them to flourish. No negative outcomes...
Walkingbyfaith mentioned the “blood vessels” and I feel the same. They are a huge part of the problem. I had foot pain for years leading up to my full Lyme decline and formal Dx. My first hint of...
Running Wild, For sure you have a difficult situation. From my CFS experience (which is suspected from EBV), it took two years to win out and get free. For me, constant suppression and no falling off...

This is truly sad news. He has helped so many. His insights and knowledge was so valuable in my Lyme journey. To this day I trust and consult his books. For sure, I will be meditating and passing...
Running Wild, I feel your pain. It’s understandable you feel the path out this Lyme wilderness is lost and can’t be found. Kind of like the “dark night of the soul” thing. Although the path is not be...
Hi UAZ You are off to a great start with reading the Buhner and Rawls material. They will give you a comprehensive understanding of the infecting organisms and various treatment approaches. As you...
Max, I see several UTI posts in play, better to have one to keep the focus....
Mex, I forgot to mention or ask you about your PSA level. Infection can drive the PSA level high. During one of my UTI episodes, my PSA was 6. This mandated an MRI to check for the big C. Now that I...
Hi MexLyme For the disruption of my biofilms I use: Biofilm Defense (4 days a week) NAC ( 4 or 5 days a week) Natto (eat is almost every day) The rest of the time is the standard collection of Lyme...
MexLyme During my two year Lyme decline, I had many symptoms. Near the top of my concern list was UTI’s. I had a string of them and they were debilitating for sure. At times I was near doubled over...
Hi Sunflower Quorum sensing: Once the bacteria population gains mass, they begin to work in groups. This improves their survivability. They sense secreted chemicals that alert each other of their...
Hi Sunflower I had Lyme along with co-infections for two years. I am in remission now and free of all symptoms except some lingering PN in my feet which I am working on. During my Lyme decline, I had...
Hi BeKindPls, I added the Rawls Biome Boost about 6 or 7 months ago. At that time I was already on the Advanced Biotic for 1 year. The Biome Boost was effective and it further improved things, my...
Hi BeKindPls, From successfully addressing CFS, DDD and Lyme, I learned lots of things about healing. One in particular I wish to mention is that they are all a long term game. I mention this because...
Hi there RunningWild, As for my symptoms: I also had the feet, toes, lower legs and especially the hands involved. No neck problem but my left shoulder was a big problem. As to how I am doing now...
Thanks for the advice. Will proceed with treatment and not test. The Buhner Lyme herbs plus others are incorporated in the Dr. Rawls advanced Biotic and Biome Boost formulations (which is what I have...
Running Wild, Best of luck with things! When my immune system went haywire from Lyme two years ago, I had lots of Rheumatoid / arthritis symptoms occurring. My RH factor was high, but my SED rate and...
Holeinmyhead, thanks for the video link. Informative and aligns with a suspicion I have had for some time. More specifically, I have some kind of micro vascular problem in my feet and hands. Both...
Hi and thank you both for the making me feel welcome. As I mentioned in the body of my post, from Lyme, PN and cramps in both my feet were a problem. To a degree the problem remains. It is...
Hi all, I wish to add this additional thought to the original posting; Killing the Lyme pathogen is only a part of healing process. From my experience, this was the job of my body and the immune...
My Lyme Story, one that ends with remission. I fell ill during a home construction project in Apr 2018. First, I noticed balance issues and thought this is strange. I could not manage more than two...
