Lyme Disease Military Disability

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to prove you have LYME For service connected disability??

I saw an old threat and now I cannot find it where someone posted they did have this info.

I am so miserable right now. I have constant throbbing in my head from the Babesia I am guessing, it is one of my co infections, it has been goign on for 8 months with ZERO break from the throbbing. Thank you so much I am still breastfeeding too which means I cannot start my treatments until my baby is weaned and he is too young still.

Also if anyone has used DR ZHang protocol while breastfeeding, please let me know!

Hi MarineMom -

Welcome to the forum - sorry you're here but very glad you found us.

As PeteZa mentioned, the "New to Lyme?" thread at the top of the page has some good resources listed in that thread for those pursuing disabilities - and a lot of other critical info with treatment and detoxing that might help solve some of your symptoms or at least help you move toward solutions.

Here is another resource for military personnel that might be helpful -

Please let us know if you're able to find the info you're seeking.

I'm so sorry you're feeling miserable. We've all been there. For headache issues, I'd strongly recommend a brain detox - Nutramedix Pinella and burbur tinctures - not sure if they are safe for baby but their website should have that info. You also might post a new thread asking for advice from other mothers who were/are breastfeeding to find out what was OK to take.

Headache pain can also be from inflammation so a good inflammatory could be helpful - lots of info about anti-inflammatories here - again, not sure about safety for baby.

I know several people have used Zhang protocol so that's something else you can start a new thread about or do a search for previous conversations.

Let us know if we can help -
