So I think I’m symptom free but I’m so so anxious about everything! I had an Epson salt bath 2 days ago and how I have a very mild pain in my arm. Very mild, may not even notice if I kept busy!

Does this mean I’m not symptom free?

Am I always going to be this anxious over every twinge and sniffle??

Any advice/ stories would be HUGELY appreciated

Xx

Did you treat for a few weeks after symptoms subsided?

I don't think a mild pain in your arm is something to worry about...unless it continues and gets worse.


I think its normal to feel anxious about this...and over time this should pass.

I'm not there yet...so I can't give you any personal advice...

Thanks Girlie, well for the past few weeks I’ve been doing everything I used to, shopping, walking, taking little one to toddler group. May have felt very mild pain but don’t remember as I kept busy

Today ive been home all day and my mind is going into overdrive I’m still on doxy but hoping to stop a week after my herbs arrive I hve ordered them just waiting.

Some people say they hve niggling pains that stay with them but don’t stop them from living a full life, how do you know if it’s just one of them niggling pains or a symptom?!

A symptom like a pain in the arm I would not say you are "symptom free".

BUT, that's "okay". What I mean is there's is no holy grail state of health. Health is always on a spectrum, whether you have lyme or not. No one is inflammation free all the time ALWAYS.

Just continue to take good care of yourself. Make sure you eat well, maintain great gut health, detox, and take some maintenance herbs and vitamins daily.

Even healthy people do everything I just listed, not just people that have/had lyme.

If you reached a point of wellness, where you every so often have a mild symptom it means you are doing great and just overall take care of your body inside and out and you will be alright.

I might have misunderstood...was this arm pain one of your lyme symptoms?

I was thinking it was just something that randomly turned up...and very mild.


I think if it continues....and doesn't go away...or gets worse...then you might want to be concerned about it.

Girlie- When I got my em rash i had no symptoms, I had a fever and sore throat that lasted 24 hours. When I started doxy I Had nausea and fatigue and very mild shoulder pain that didn’t require painkillers.

Dacarte- thank you, that makes sense I need to learn to not to freak out and look at these things logically
