Just finished week four of meds and feel like I've been hit with a multitude of symptoms all at once...good sign I guess.
Sciatica started this morning is this common with lyme? Seems like it hits often now.

UGH....hate that stuff!

I got severe sciatica 2 or 3 yrs ago. It was horrible.

Got treated with prolotherapy. Took 3 sessions before I had any relief. Then did 3 more. It was 90% better.

Then found mangosteen juice and it took me to nearly 100% better. I still have flare-ups occasionally, but otherwise I consider it gone.

I would say it IS related to Lyme somewhat. Lyme affects the nerves, and boy, that's a BIG one! I also had an injury on the side I suffer on.

I'll see if I can bring up old discussions on this for you. Sorry you're suffering. It's awful.

I had bad sciatica for 8 weeks, now very manageable and some days 'good'.....what helped me most/fastest was Bowen Technique.

Doing much better ....thanks. Only lasted 24 hours this time! One must be thankful for the little things. Last time it was almost a week. I'm also going to check into the Bowen Technique.
