Right now, my worse symptoms are fatigue (my sleep is messed up, but changing)and lack of ambition. I don't know if I have become lazy during these yrs. or it's just the fatigue. My brain has healed, but needs more.
I started out with a month of doxy prescribed by my PCP. I herxed so bad! I knew he wasn't going to treat me fully, so asked if he would give his blessing in me seeing a LLMD. He did.
I did see a local LLMD, but decided to go natural, alternative, whatever it's called. (The LLMD told me, "the damage is done", I would never be cured.) I did feel better until I got 12 mysterious bites and then pain entered the picture and my neuro problems increased.
Boy, I thought I was bad before, those days were now what my good days were like. Soon, I wasn't having any good days. So, back to the LLMD.
She still kept me on Cat's Claw for a few mos., but I kept going down hill, so on to abx. I did abx for about 3 yrs., Bicillin LA. I really did well with that (plus all the sups she prescribed and meds for the symptoms).
My LLMD started spreading out the Bicillin shots I guess about midway. I did fine at 2 or 2.5 weeks apart, but after that it wasn't any good. So, it "seems" it was a waste for at least a yr. I didn't have any more improvements and then started going a bit backwards.
I asked if I was well enough to try a natural treatment at that point, that was March of this yr. She gave me Resistant Microbes, but the pain it caused me in my lg. colon was too much to tolerate. It could've been doing it's job, since I have ulcerative colitis, but I couldn't take the pain. Maybe I will take it later.
So, for the past few mos. I have been taking the Cat's Claw, my sups., and meds to treat symptoms/damage. I have been weaning off of my muscle relaxer myself. I am down from 3 doses to 1 dose.
I feel good. Those symptoms that were creeping back are gone.
I think taking coconut oil and rebounding has helped me, I started those the last few mos. I, also, started LDN about the same time.
I am hopeful. Jesus is my Savior and I pray a lot, I give Him all the glory for directing my treatment and healing me thus far. I am praying He will continue to heal me.
I just wanted to be an encouragement to you.

I want to add that I took Plaquenil along with the Bicillin LA.

If you believe He will heal you, He will! God healed me of lyme and co and the pain is gone too. A total miracle. For His word says, "it is by your faith that you are healed."
God bless you and keep encouraging those suffering around you.
