Who here has had some success with bromelain, it seems to reduce my pain so Ive been popping them 4 times a day or so.
Any experience?
Thanks in advance

I love bromelain. I don't have arthritic lyme, but I do take it for the occasional muscle aches from overuse. Last April I had a frozen shoulder, and bromelain helped it in about 10 days. I had found an excellent article online from the University of Maryland Medical Center. You would have to research it again. That's where I picked up the bromelain tip.
Good stuff!

I've been taking it for a number of years but not for pain. I take it at night before going to sleep because it keeps me from feeling like I'm burning up. When I try to stop, the problem comes back.
It is an anti-inflammatory and helps reduce fibrin too. Be careful combining with any other blood thinners because it is a mild blood thinner.

TerryK, when you wrote of "burning up" is this a fever or burning skin? I get the burning skin, and I was wondering if bromelain would help with that. I'll have to try it.

My skin burns, my muscles ache and Im foggy almost all the time.
SUCKS!!! Im venting here but 4 years of ABX didnt do much of a difference, but my LLMD thinks Ive improved because Im not falling asleep all the time and I dont have the burning every day.
