Alunke - Sorry you're having a rough time - sounds like you are herxing.
there are many different protocols for treating Lyme and coinfections.
What antibiotic are you taking now?
Are you taking probiotics daily?
You also need liver support - eg Milk Thistle seed extract.
You need to detox to help flush out the toxins that build up in your system from the dieoff of bacteria.
- Make sure you are drinking minimum 8 glasses of water daily.
- squeeze some fresh lemon juice into some of the glasses of water. Drink with a straw to bypass the teeth so the lemon doesn't damage enamel in teeth.
You will want to start with a couple detoxes and then every few days add in another one and gradually build up to multiple methods daily.
Other ideas:
- take warm Epsom salt baths
- Dry brush your skin prior to baths or showers.
- Take a binder - must be a couple hours away from food, supplements and medications - or it will flush everything out of your stomach.
