How much "resting" can one person do, without feeling improvement? I've been on meds for a month now, out of work for 2+ weeks. I'm so tired of being in pain, having mush where my brain used to be, and being inside this house.

I decided today, screw it. I'm going to push myself and do a bunch of stuff. If I'm going to be exhausted and in pain ANYWAY, why not get a few things accomplished?

Anyone else been where I am today, who might be able to offer some advice? I'm going a little crazy. Or becoming depressed, if I'm being honest. Where is the light at the end of the tunnel?

Thank you so much for the kind and helpful words. I think you are right in many ways. I've been doing detox baths and hope to work my way back to a yoga class.

I know I should embrace this healing time and focus on doing things that are therapeutic.

I'm realizing I need to cut ties with work people who are impatient for me to return. I'm on leave, and it's counterproductive for me still to be working, and to be stressed out about it on top of that. Maybe just starting with that will allow me to put my focus where it needs to be.

Thanks again.

Hi sunny

I went to a nurse practitoner today that runs an integrative lyme clinic. She used the laser to help me with the pain. I am not tolerating the antibiotics to well ans am off them. She uses supplements herbs etc. I had some really good results for pain relief. She gave me some dietary guidelines and other information but I am still basically using Burrascano's guidelines. I am learned I had parasites after a physical exam. So overall I think this was helpful and more helpful than seeing a regular md two days ago.

Barngurl, What kind of laser did this nurse practitioner use on you? Was it the Erchonia Laser? I know that one is used to help people with pain and it also has Lyme frequencies.

Yes it helped a lot with neck, shoulder and arm pain. I am only one visit into it but would like to continue.

sunny_1 I have good days and bad days. Some days I wake up exhausted as if I never even slept. Other days I have a lot of energy and feel good to be quite honest. I don't know what day I am going to have today but I hope you have a better day yourself. Do you have good days at all? I have to say I take so many supplements I don't know which are helping but I think that some of them truly help me. What supplements do you take? I have a kitchen table full of bottles and pills. :) I take so much stuff just to keep me going it is ridiculous.... when people come into my house they look at these bottles and then look at me like I am nuts.... what can I say other than "I have lyme disease"!!!

Barmgurl, did you know there are Lyme settings on the Erchonia Laser? Maybe you can ask the practitioner to these frequencies for you. My husband started healing by using it with a chiro.

Thanks Mumma. I haven't had a good day in a week (last Friday) and before that I hadn't had a good day in three or so weeks. I'm recently diagnosed but feeling like I should start improving sometime soon.

I'm taking 4000mg of C and a something with B for neuro support, along with homeo/naturopathic drops (Artemesia, cats claw, prickly ash, andrographis, spiroloid support, and Lyme nosode.)

My "I'm going to power through" plan lasted all of 3 hours... After which I was in so much pain my arm eventually went numb, and then I was laid up for the rest of the day. Trial and error. THAT approach didn't work. ;)

I'm learning this is not mind over matter. If I could will myself well, I'd already have done so.

Well sunny - I will say you are doing a lot! The Vit C and Vit B are really good. I will tell you if I did andrographis, Artemesia, cats claw and abx all at once it would be WAY too much on my body. I had to work up slowly or I would feel like crap all the time. I learned. lol pretty fast. As much as I wanted to get better right away I knew that inundating myself with everything at once would be a mistake. Just something to think about.

I hope you are not so angry today. You will get better. Just hang in there. Breathe. And learn to take time to do nice things for yourself. I know how difficult of a thing that can be!
