Thanks for pointing these out, Jo. This was definitely a day that I needed a dose of inspiration!

Happy for evianangel and Artermix! Hopeful for the rest of us.

"In his book "Freedom from Lyme Disease", Bryan Rosner writes that the last 10% of healing often takes longer than the first 90%"

Thank you Jo! This time of year our emotions can become heightened with all the holiday bustle.

Nice to see happy, encouraging posts.

astroman - interesting quote. I think most days I'm 85-90 but then I have times where I feel more like I've slid backwards, but they tend to be hours rather than days. It's been a rollercoaster ride for me, and I'm ok with the last 10% taking longer provided the hills are smaller!

1000Daises - I think you are right, that there needs to be healing from the infection and treatment. My LLMD is a big believer in diet - improving microbiome. All I hear is "it's all about the inflammation", and that does seem to be my worse symptom now though I do still sometimes get fatigure.

I've already read antibiox only get us 85% of the way, and that's if they can be tolerated. I think to get the rest of the way is a lot of trial and error and figuring out how to build the immune system back up after it's been so beaten down.

I don't think we (in general) talk enough about healing from the damage caused from the pathogens, inflammation, and the treatments themselves. I think that it can definitely be a factor in these last percentages.

Yes. My thoughts on the few "10 percenters" with very little life responsibilities, ( a life of leisure) might be just fine. For the normal people who place demands on there brains and bodies, the last 10 percent is still quite noticeable.

Obviously I believe in the phrase "Lyme damage", some do not.

Two years after ABX I continue to slowly improve, and measure/document this with repeated improved "marker" and inflammation tests. My diet does seem to help too, and I'm not even very strict compared to some. It doesn't take much in my experience, worth it, but my gut was trashed, so thats prob why.

Hard to know what is active infection and what is just needing more time to heal.

I don't have an answer - still trying to figure that out.
