Almost at the six month mark

Hey guys I’m at least at the six month mark of treating. I’m doing a lot better but still have some lingering pain as well as high BP which is being controlled by meds. I’ve been treating with antibiotics, LDN, supports and supplements. My LLMD said that I’d be treating for at least six months. I’ve pretty much plateaued so I’m thinking of asking her if I should switch to herbals for a few more months. Does anyone have suggestions on what herbals I should take? My LLMD is very smart but is also willing to hear suggestions. I’m pretty scared to go off everything all at once. One issue I’ve been dealing with is I had a crown done on Thursday. I’ve had lots of dental work done in the past and have been fine but this time my entire right side of my face swelled up! It’s still swollen today, 48 hours later. Is Lyme causing this to happen?? Another thing I’d love to know is what supplements do you guys stay on long term after you’re done treating? I want to keep my body strong as can be! Thank you

Echoing having the swelling looked at!

Your LLMD is most likely to be able to advise and support you if you use a well-known herbal protocol. The ones people seem to use most often are Buhner, Cowden, and Vital Plan. Herbs hit the infections differently from how pharmaceuticals do, so it's great to do a sweep with an herbal protocol.

For the long term, I think I'll probably take curcurmin and ashwagandha indefinitely, as well as taking great care to get enough minerals (especially magnesium) and antioxidants, and elderberry in the winter.

So glad to hear you are doing better!

Thank you everyone!! I should mention that I was only undiagnosed for only three months so I was very lucky to catch it fairly early. I’d say I’m about 85% but haven’t had any improvements in about two months. I will bring up treating the coinfections as well. I’m hoping to do a sweep of herbals as someone mentioned, that’s a great idea. Thank you all so much!
