New symptom

Hi

Up to now my symptoms have been mostly skin related and arthritic type pain that seems to migrate but a new symptom has popped up that has me alittle worried ..... When I lay down and try to get up I have to grab the edge of the bed and close my eyes or I feel as though I will pass out and lately my balance seems slightly off. Has anyone experienced this? Waiting to get into LLMD but appt. not until May 10. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Cozy, i deleted your other thread - as it was identical to this one.

Sorry you are dealing with this troublesome symptom, Cozy54.

Have you ever tried lying on your left side? I can't remember the mechanism (pressure on something lol) but that might help.

As you wait for your LLMD appointment, have you started a daily detoxing protocol? It can help you feel a little better now and will definitely help you manage treatments.

Americans are exposed to over 300 chemicals every day (think personal care products, pesticides, car exhaust, plastics, heavy metals, etc.)

A detoxing protocol will help lower that toxic load and is quite necessary for those of us dealing with these infections since the bugs themselves make toxins and that's what drives our symptoms:

Here's a link that explains why we need to detox and provides a list of popular detoxing methods:

Here's a link to a recent thread wherein members shared what they are doing for detoxing:

No matter what, everything needs to be started s-l-o-w-l-y....drinking lemon water is a good start.

Hope you feel better soon!
