I gained soo much weight, and i kept trying different things, for years

it makes me very sad, i tried lymph massages, etc

i have nutrionists,

it is exhausting trying to tell people, when they asked what happend

I feel alone right now

and i am with some family, that will never understand


I dont have explain, but it is challenging

I cant wait, to leave,


feeling unsupported, and frustrated

wellbeautifulspirit - The toxicity of treatment is almost worse than the disease itself. Its almost like chemo for cancer patients.

For me it was almost an unbreakable cycle. I found the more toxic I got, the more fatigue I had. The more fatigue I had, the less exercise I could get. The less exercise, the more toxic I felt.

The coffee enemas really helped save me though, they helped break this toxic spiral I was heading down.

Wellbeautifulspirit,

{gentle hug}

I'm glad you reached out. I'm pretty new here, but i know how isolating this illness can be and I do have some support at home...thank God. But this road can be a lonely one...I get it, and so does everyone on this forum.
I haven't had weight gain issues from my treatment but definitely had my issues with detoxing and as an oncology nurse I agree with vcast that detoxing from Lyme treatment is very much like the effects of chemo. And although I haven't yet tried a coffee enema, this is not the first time I have heard someone singing its praises in regards to getting rid of toxins...so it's def in my future.
On the weight topic...I can totally relate that when I was in nursing school my neurologist put me on depakote for my migraines and I literally gained 29lbs in 9 wks!! That was about 5 yrs ago and I still have 20lbs to lose...darn Lyme...darn Hashimotos (haha)...
But seriously don't lose faith or Hope and when you feel yourself sliding down mentally...jump on this board and reach out to someone.

Hang in there!
