Order of symptom onset and relief.

Some of them did, some of them didn't. I think the first symptom that went away was fatigue, and then my anxiety got better, and then my allergies/chemical sensitivities started to improve. My digestive symptoms have been hanging around for the longest, but I think they started a lot later than my other symptoms.

Results will vary:In long term, the body does not completely heal all by itself after treatment, there is sometimes damage which needs addressing itself, depending what it is. My injuries are correcting in reverse order though, as an athlete I had many that never healed right.

Diet is huge here, as this promote optimal health. Diet that is proven to work for you, not others as a whole, this takes 100% devotion and time.

Certainly seems like I'm in remission , cured , whatever for the last two years. I was long term so it affected me in many ways. First noticed bullseye in early 90's, but had symptom since around mid 1970's. Been doing damage repair since. But thats a lot like restoring a rusty beat old car. Might never be new unless new parts are installed lol.

Thats said, this is still way better than before.

My friend improved a lot from Rife (he's since regressed) and he said that the last symptoms to come were the first to go, and by the end he was having sypmtom nostalgia basically

For clarification...when I say "long term", I mean decades, not single digits.

Whatever seems like permanent damage after treating the infection(s) might not be if you treat whatever it is individually.

I dont get any more heart flutters, and have not had any more air-hunger since lyme.

Astroman- I'm glad your heart and breathing issues have subsided. This gives me some hope.

Girlie- that's what my doctor recently labeled my issues as (POTS). I constantly research what else could be causing it because I have treated lyme bart and bab. My heart feels much better than it did 2-3 years ago but I'm not normal yet. Lately I've been thinking parasites? IDK it's just frustrating.

Can you describe your POTS symptoms?

I think it's possible that you have treated the infections....but the healing has to happen. The POTS is from autonomic nervous system dysfunction. As you know, nerves can take a long time to heal.

I also have nerve issues in the left shoulder blade/arm/hand area...some pain.
When I saw Dr. J in March...I asked him (crossing my fingers) did he think that symptom could still resolve? (It's one of my last ones....and it was my first symptom).
He said he felt confident it would.
I hope he's right....I am trying very hard to be patient.....

I've had so many symptoms resolve in the past several years...you'd think I'd be happy to have just a few left, right?
But, no...they're bad enough that they disrupt my life.....and on a good day it's like I'm waiting for them to flare. I worry that this is "it". It's going to be what I'm left with forever.

I also wonder if my babesia treatment was cut short. I do have a some sweating when I wake in the morning....and also in the evening - between 9 and 11 p.m. sometimes the backs of my hands sweat...(weird, I know).

Is it from babesia...or is it part of my ANS dysfunction.

My first symptoms that showed up were some of the last ones to leave. Symptoms that showed up the latest seemed to abate first.

Girlie- my POTS symptoms are getting light headed and flutter or racing heart when I stand up from laying down. My doctor takes my blood pressure while laying down and then again right after standing. (This is how he diagnosed me) I also get heart flutters and/or racing when I stand up after bending over to pick somthing up. Then there are times when I'm not doing anything physical and these heary issues poo up too. And along with the heart stuff I usually always have difficulty breathing too.

Hey girlie- just some more quick questions. Does your doctor or you, think that the POTS is related to other things (like a specific co infection or parasites or virus) or do you just feel that it takes time to heal/treat and that's why we still have the POTS symptoms? I just want to know if thered more answers I should be searching for.

Forgot to ask - have you tried a med like Propranolol?

Yeah it varies from day to day for me too but never seems to completely go away. I have not tried propranolol. I could ask my doctor but I dont know what he would say. I have my next appointment in july so well see. 🤞🏼
