I can't do it anymore (trigger warning: dark thoughts here)

Are you doing any anticandida measures

I can totally relate to all this, I also have had my darkest moments.... but you have your daughter and in the darkest moments it is her who will keep you alive. Because she needs you... I have 2 small girls.

Do you have somebody who fights your corner? Your husband, mother, friend? You need somebody who can do research for you, take you to doctors and make you eat healthy food. The main thing is that you shouldn't fight this battle alone. Keep strong my dear, but also I think you maybe need to try antibiotics?

Evianangel - I just want to tell you I can completely relate, I really started to get sick when my second child was born in in 2015, now my kids are 3.5 and 1.5 and I have recently left my part time job because I couldn't keep up with it all anymore.

It has really helped me be able to focus more on my family, which felt like a big stress relief, (except for serious financial stress, of course). Even still, I sometimes feel like I am failing them and that they don't deserve to have a mom with Lyme.

Raising kids requires a lot of mental and physical energy, which most of us are extremely low on! But, my mommy friends who have older kids tell me, kids won't remember that we ate a lot of goldfish crackers and mac n cheese, they will remember you spending time with them, even if it is just hanging out watching movies or playing a game.

Anytime you need an ear, I'm here!

evianangel, you said that you suddenly crash for no reason during treatments. What I have seen lacking in your responses is what you are doing for detoxing. There are very few that have Lyme that can do very little detoxing. We usually need a lot more than we usually do and I suspect that, unless you are doing a lot of detoxing, that may be your trouble.

Would you mind listing what you are doing for detoxing? I know I have to do a ton!

I wonder if the detox tea....ok it could be if it has a high level of polyphenols and phytates and it DOES block iron absorption up to 60% for each cup of tea.. Your iron/ferritin levels might be low which could be a primary reason for fatigue.
I do not do any tea for that reason. Even mint tea has iron blocking properties.

PS if you do tea you should add iron supplementation alone (not the one in multi-vitamin)

Interesting. The tea I drink is called everyday detox, it is lemon and burdock root. I know I have low iron levels.

Any type of detoxing needs to be done continually for the best effect. Detoxing has a cumulative effect - the longer we do it, the better we feel.

And especially right now, I would encourage you to use the binder every night - and once during the day if you can possibly find a way to fit it in! If not, then take 2 charcoal caps at night. Just be sure to drink plenty of water!! You don't need constipation on top of all of this!

Evian, thank you for asking!!

Ugh. No, I've had to stop treatments for now. I started a biofilm buster and it let out all kinds of nasties to run around my body! Since I wasn't sure just what all I had let loose (Lyme and Bart treatments weren't enough!!), I chose to stop treatments and concentrate on allowing my body to recover, and to detox.

I'll have to get back into treatments soon though, as I'm soooo tired of living this way!

LOL! I'm one of the tougher cases is all. My adrenal issues can often interfere with my healing of these infections. This is not the first time I've had to stop treatments due to something.

Onward and upward, right?? LOL! Treatment fatigue is something I fight a lot and I am still here, because I still need the uplift I get from others!

Atermix you should post your progress it is really inspiring to hear about people feeling better :)

No Evian.... I don't want to jinx this trend....everyday is different too. I know I could feel good for up to one month....but then I feel like I am going to die...for 60 days in a row. I do not know if the treatments are working at all...including detoxing.

Traveler got me into this detox brainwash....I hear her voice in the distance like Ulysses heard the mermaids calling him...."detox....detox....come here and detox....join us"
And then everyone else...and you too....no kidding.

So no progress are made yet due to treatment itself. Too early to say anyway. Just spirochete playing games of hide.

Lol! :p the lyme cult, except we didn't join by choice

Thanks girlie. I will try to up it now.

I am currently trying to figure out what herbs to order and my head is spinning from it. I think I'm having really bad brain fog because I can't figure out how to do it or which ones to order and from what website :( I hate this. It is like I've hit a mental block and I can't figure it out and keep track of all the names.
