Symptoms coming and going frequently

Hello,

I have read descriptions of symptoms coming and going on cycles of weeks or months. Do others have symptoms that come and go more frequently?

I had a good morning today and felt well enough for a short trip by car. That seemed to trigger 2 hours of increased soreness in my lymph nodes (left side of neck and collar bone), tender ribs and abdomen, and a sense of malaise/fatigue. 2 hours later those symptoms have diminished or gone.

I have had this short cycle a few times.

I have been ill for 3 months and have no doctor. I have found a N.D. with lyme knowledge but he is booked up for 2 months. An E.R. doctor prescribed 3 weeks of doxycycline. I had bad neck and shoulder pain, headaches, brain fog, ear ringing and other lyme related symptoms after what I believe was a bite on the scalp. The last doxy pill was 3 weeks ago and I am improved but still getting these short bursts of some symptoms.

I am doing detox self-treatments suggested on this site - regular detox tea, turmeric, lemon water, garlic, vitamin C, zinc (for the unchanged ear ringing).

Any suggestions? Thank you.

I hope you can get another lyme doc soon, too.
Since you’ve only been ill for a few months - I suggest you get on treatment ASAP.

While not always the case - generally speaking - if you’ve had symptoms for a short time - ie weeks to months versus years - you may not need to treat for years - remission can happen sooner.

My symptoms too have waxed and waned, and it seems correlated with stress and allowing sugar back into my life.
