I'm sure this is common but it is really bad today...I feel so weak, all over. I feel like I can't stand or even hold myself up for long. I can't tell if is is muscular or neurological. I just feel like jelly. Is this common? I have some lower back pain. I also suffer from vertigo but that has gotten under control, so I don't feel like it is that making me feel like I could fall over. This feels like I'm just not strong enough. Ugh.

I have had muscle weakness in the past and it felt slightly different. I usually had some muscle twitching or tingling with it before. Now, just weakness all over.

Thanks everyone!

Em, it is normal for lyme. It takes so much from us and I am so sorry you are hurting like this.

Many can't do much but lay around. I did it for a long time when I was healing. I was the sleep/nap/do nothing queen. I could barely get up to get something to eat or go the bathroom. Everything was a huge chore.

Make sure you are detoxing. That was hard for me to detox when I felt that weak. But I had to. I hope you have someone to wait on you for a bit.

Thanks PeteZa! You are always so kind and informative.

Today was son’s 14th birthday and I tried to get some stuff done. I think it made me feel worse. I have been detoxing and did these medi body packs today for external detox. I wonder if it might be adding to my list of issues. Can we do too much detox? I plan to do a foot soak tonight while the kids watch tv. I’m so exciting!

Em, I have never heard of anyone detoxing too much, but gosh everything with lyme is possible.

I think you are having a flare of symptoms because you are a Mom and want to do it all for everyone. Birthdays can be stressful. I don't know how you Moms or any parent does it with lyme.

My hat is off to you. A nice foot soak and tea and a movie sounds wonderful.

Hope tomorrow is better.

Thank you! I didn’t think we could detox too much since I know I am full of toxins! Lol

I hate that I can’t do as much as I used to do for birthdays. Even a year ago was better. This disease is for the birds!

I had a lot of weakness, blurry visions, and vertigo at the beginning. A lot. It’s clearing up well with tx. I feel very weak when I ramp up my treatment, but in general it’s just an “out of shape” feeling.
I call them Gorilla Arms.... my arms are so heavy I can’t lift them and they just drag to the floor

We can detox too fast...if we incorporate too many methods all at once.

What happens is we mobilize a large mount of toxins...and we aren't able to keep up with the elimination of them.


But, if you've been detoxing for awhile...you should be fine.

Here's a thread where it's discussed:

Yes- weak and no energy. I rarely push myself-traveling for doctor visits and keeping my job. At this
point that it everything else is extra.
Ten pass ozone and thyroid meds have helped some

Thank you all! I did do a new way to detox today and I started a new pill last night with bromelain, turmeric, collagen and vitamin C. I wonder if the added C could be kicking my immune system into gear and causing more symptoms. I hadn’t even thought about it! Ugh. I think I will cut back to one dose a day and see if that helps. I might have to stop taking it.

The best way to detox is slowly add in one thing "gently" at a time and slowly continue to add more and more.

Back off if you have to momem3.
