I have been off medicine for about 3 months.

I am feeling WONDERFUL!

I get the occasional headache..... a stiff neck once in a while - BUT

I am in the gym 5 days/week
I am enjoying my hobbies
I am able to make it through a full day without any naps!

Just wanted to give you all some hope.
You WILL get better!

Wishing you all good health...

Jessica
 

It can and will get better, it's just a slow process.

Take care, Pam

If you get the choice to sit it out or dance...

I too have been feeling great now since about december...I still do the acupuncture adn take megavitamins and minerals along with omega 3's and 6's , but am feeling wonderful these days...working full time, biking , hiking etc...

it was 3 long years of treatment, but there is a light , however dim..so follow it...it's a slow process. I had lyme, bart and babs...and got treated for all three. never thought i'd make it out of that hole...

but I did, as did my kids...so hang in there...there is hope..a whole list of us!

Needed it right now; lost my 17 pages of typed paperwork for the ALJudge for my 2nd & final SS disability hearing on June 16....frustrating!

Glad to hear you are doing well. I remember you were having a rough time, so it's nice to hear you are better now.

Take Care

I have been thinking about all of you! I pray that you all get better soon.

For those of you who asked what worked for me, i wish i could answer that.
I was on so many cocktails and changed ABX so many times, I can't tell you it was any one combination.

I also stopped abruptly because I was feeling that most of my symptoms were side effects. Lo and behold, most of my symptoms are gone!
Wooo-hooo!

If anyone would like to email directly,
please do - [email protected]

hugs to everyone
Jess

But I hope you made it!!

Iam now off abx's a third time and sofar pretty good its been since sept 04 on the 27th
 

My LLMD recently said that most of her patients know when they should stop abx. They tell her that it feels toxic.

CoQ10 issues...this is why "they" preach to us to exercise. We normally make CoQ10 when we exercise. Some does come from our foods too.

Exercise is VERY, VERY healing. But this is very difficult to do when the infection load is high. This is where certain supplements can help.

Look closely at the "ingredients" in OTC CoQ10. Examine it very closely for the nutrients it contains. Get to the ultimate bottom line. Look at the bottles. They contain either soybean or rice bran oil and what do THEY contain? You will see why this works.

Those who are younger seem to be able to fight Lyme Disease easier. Perhaps because of the amt. of stored minerals in their bodies, the number of mitochondria in the cells (aging AND disease decrease the number of mitochondria - reversible in TIME...Dr. Perricone) or the amt. of activity younger persons generally engage in. All of these factors may help to knock off this pathogen.

It is hard to know when the infection is gone and what is actually a left-over nutritional imbalance which can be corrected in time.

The pathogens are parasites. They take from us many nutrients. We KNOW Mg and Ca are needed to make HEALTHY antibodies (our OWN highly targeted "antibiotics"). If either of these minerals is low or if they are out of balance, we're in trouble.

Jessica, it seems to take about 2 years to completely be "back to normal" whether one does Rife or goes a strictly nutritional/exercise route(www.cassia.org)

So renew that gym package program for awhile yet and...congratulations!
