Going backwards in progress

I think I'm starting to go backwards in progress. So I was about feeling 99% now I'm down to who knows what.

I feel a tiny increase in anxiety and hopelessness. I missed a dose of abx yesterday, and I missed a dose today. Now I dropped my progress by about 10% just by taking a small antibiotic break. Anyways, it seems like I can only plateau at 99%, I can't get to 100% symptom free. Well I can go maybe 2-3 days but that is all.

I noticed slight aches in what I believe to be my tendons. Also my brain just doesn't feel right.

I see the LLND on Friday and I think I need to request a treatment change with my LLMD. The protocol I am on is just not working. I feel like I'm just putting lyme into a cyst form, or a biofilm and making it more difficult to treat. I think I messed my treatment up...

I still get the occasional symptom virtually everywhere... Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can try next?

This may seem weird but someone in my facebook Lyme group is having great progress with bee venom therapy. Her husband actually takes the bees and they sting her but there are also injections. She said a woman she knows gets the injections and is now "cured" from it. This is the same woman that was attacked by killer bees and brought back to life from all the venom when her organs were failing from Lyme. Not sure if you've the story but it's a pretty amazing one.

I'm seriously considering taking a leap of faith and attempting the "cured twice protocol". That is taking doses of minocycline + tinidazole every other day. While also drinking Wild Cherry Bark tea. I don't know why I believe that will work but it seems to work for him so I figure it's worth a try.

Girlie... Sorry I am regressing. It was my fault though, I only took abx once yesterday, and once today. I was just testing the waters to see what it would be like to reduce my abx.

And just cutting the amount in half two days in a row caused a regression.

My left Shoulder aches, foot aches, hip aches, Achilles heel aches. Ya this is all hitting me right now. I got my medicines all ready for the week though and this time I'm not going to miss a single dose ever again. I am going to talk with both my LLMD and my LLND. I see my LLND on Friday in person. I'm going to get retested, maybe ask for prozolone injections into all the places where I am getting aches right now.

That's the story above. Her LLMD currently gives her the injections and she's now free of Lyme according to her blood smears. It may be difficult to find someone to provide them. I know beevenom.com provides everything you need to do it yourself if you feel like being adventuresome and are not allergic to bee venom.

Hi LymePickle,

200 drops of teasel just like that is a lot, like The Wryter is writing, you should be building up teasel carefully.

You have also been taken very high dosages of Samento and Banderol not long ago. It is more than likely that you are pushing your body too much.

Be careful with what you are doing please.
This is an advice I want to give to everyone: herbals are very powerful, try to find a herbalist, naturopath or a specialist who knows what you can combine, and in what dosages you can use them, to your special/unique need, cause everyone is different. You may have allergies, or infections you don't know of. There is plenty of factors to consider.

Another member on this forum, Violets, always refreshes our memory writing: 'Don't kill yourself trying to kill the Lyme'.

People tend to think herbals can't do any harm since they're not a drug, but that is risky to think that way since they can have a powerful effect and do harm if used wrongly.

This is a good time of year to do green smoothies since there are many fresh greens available. Doing more things with your diet to aid your whole system would benefit you, so that would be a better thing to focus on and let your doctors direct you with the herbals and meds. so you don't set yourself back too much and give the infection a chance to take over more.

Dr. Jernigan has a different perspective on healing, so you might look into his work.

Lymepickle - Just think about where you've come from...and how much better you're feeling. Don't overdo it!!!

I would give anything to be even 50% better now.
