who here has chronic inflammation in their body from lyme and coinfections and how does that present for you? I have chronic inflammation in my gut and chest area. I do not know if it is from lyme and coinfections or something else and I am wondering if this is a common thing and how it feels for you if you have it?

I think I have inflammation -

My regular Dr gave me a lab req to check CRP after I told her that sometimes my body just hurts all over.

I asked her what the test shows and she said “inflammation “

I’ve had that test before and it didn’t show anything... but maybe this time it will.

for me my abdomen and chest usually just feel inflamed/distended/ too full too tight and I don't know why

a whole tablespoon of organic turmeric and 1/4 tea spoon of blackpepper, in the morning and at night, wait for 10 days for the effect, worked for me.

Gin soaked raisins can help. Have you looked into LDN?

can you guys tell me how your inflammation presents? for me it is bloating and gripped up chest. so weird I have no diagnosis.

So for me it’s a vague overall pain - can’t really pinpoint it - not excruciating but bad enough that it affects my mood and daily activities.

I have whole body inflammation that presents as pain of various sorts. No visible swelling, redness kind of inflammation. The kind you can feel but can’t see. I have tissue pain, joint and tendon pain and stiffness, burning sensations in skin, including scalp.

Did have red, burning, and sometimes swollen face for years. That went away on its own. Intestines often feel inflamed and sore. Chemical sensitivities causes painful inflammation in my nasal passages and bones of my face, tissues, and joints. Neck feels stiff and inflamed right now.

I have inflammation in my chest and face. It literally feels as though your skin is being pulled in opposite directions. In addition to many other symptoms, I also have the burning scalp which usually is accompanied by an unrelenting headache on the top of my head. The burning and headache happen when I decrease an antibiotic but the inflammation is always present. Unfortunately outside of antibiotics, I have yet to find a protocol that reduces these symptoms.

how many of you guys are taking 1 table spoon of turmeric morning/night with 1/4 tea spoon of pepper and still have inflammation?

also how many are you who have inflammation are taking epson salt showers daily?

I want to know if you are doing these things and still have inflammation.

be aware that some turmeric/curcumin supplements are contaminated with lead, make sure to get lead free

Very normal, I would try turmeric as someone suggested, but don't go crazy.

A good brand of CBD oil like CW Hemp or Elixinol.... Even Rick Simpson Oil if you want a big gun for inflammation!

When Parkinsons patients stop getting the shakes after taking RSO, this is the herb modulating the immune system.

I was taking curcumin twice a day for a month with no results.

I have Epsom salt baths - not showers - gives me short term relief.

What seems to be helping sometimes is Quercetin.

CBD oil didn’t help me. I tried it a couple years ago when Dr Sapi was doing research on it with retired Dr Murakami.

I’ve thought about trying marijuana - there’s a topical pain “roller” that the company sells.

I eat large amounts of curry 7 days a week. Not sure if it helps but know that it's healthy. Have used liposomal curcumin as well as cbd/thc oil for months with no change in symptoms. It would be great if they worked well for everyone across the board but unfortunately it's not the case. i also have been taking quercetin daily for the last two years as it does seem to help with reducing some of my symptoms.

Flowergarden, were you leaning towards babesia/mycoplasma as potential causes for the symptoms? are you seeing any further responses/improvement with the herbal treatments?

You may have mentioned this before, but have you tried experimenting with your diet? avoiding refined sugars/processed foods (if you aren't already). And maybe certain foods are exacerbating inflammation?

Are you taking any binders for the toxins? things like activated charcoal, bentonite clay, etc?

Not sure how you would do an epsom salt shower. I soak in 3 cups of epsom salt and a 32 oz bottle of peroxide usually every morning.

I take Jarrow Curcumin 95 capsules - 2 capsules 3x day and high dose fish oil morning and night.

When inflammation is worse than usual, I take a tsp of quercetin in powder form mixed with water.

Most recently I have found baking soda mixed in water to be helpful but would not take too often or too much due to the high levels of sodium.

Insomnia is my main symptom and it's been bad lately. Sometimes skin burning which feels like it's really hot. Tingling in my legs. A general uneasiness in my skin, like a physical anxiety, similar to akathisia but more tense like. My CRP and inflammation markers are normal though. Mostly I react to food though.
