Hi all - this is my second post. I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago, I believe I have had Lyme for 10 years. I am from the UK (infected in NY), currently living in the Middle East.
I'm due to start doxy in about a month or so - I've put it off for a bit to do some more research. My issue is that, as I live in the Middle East, it's not so easy to get hold of the supplements/vitamins etc that are useful to take in addition, plus my doctor is good but not an LLMD (don't think there are any here).
I've read a lot on this forum about the various alternative remedies people try but I just don't think I will be able to get many of those things here, unfortunately. I guess I need some help with the basic vitamins/alternative/holistic support I should be looking at taking either before or during the abx treatment.
Can anyone help me with a list of basics that should be widely available or easy to order online (they are weird about certain things coming into the country, I understand). For example I just ordered magnesium flakes for the bath - that seemed to be straightforward.
I know this is painful but any help is really appreciated!
