Keep in mind, I don't know yet if I have Lyme. I see a LLMD in 3 months.
I've had pain in knees, feet, hands, and some in my hip that has increased slowly over the past 2 years. I have horrible fatigue and my memory is awful! I feel like my sinuses get "swollen" and I run a low grade fever a lot.
I'm not a lot of fun to be with anymore. Makes me sad.
Over the past two days, I've been contemplating starting doxy just to see if my body responds. Well, I guess just thinking about antibiotics was enough to give me a lovely yeast infection. Joy....
I also have had terrible allergy issues in one eye. This has popped up both winters since I've been sick (never before). Now it itches and waters constantly.
I'm supposed to leave on Sunday for Mexico with my husband. I really want to feel better for him. I would hate to ruin his vacation.
Any quickie fix ideas to at least feel better? I'm open to any thoughts!
Thank you guys so much!

Advil is what usually works for me.
Try to eat well, get enough sleep and avoid gluten, alcohol and sugar.

Oh, I do can relate. There is no way I could make a trip. Heck I can't leave the house on most days. Especially the past two I have been bed ridden.
Your symptoms sound so much like me. I started clindamycin thinking it might be sinus.. I am doubling the probotics hoping no yeast..
Hoping you will get to feeling well enough to go on the trip..

I would look into trying some herbs for parasites and yeast infections. You don't have to feel so helpless. Take charge and do some research on alternatives.
You can buy these at your local health food store or Whole Foods. Also look into the salt/c protocol. Do a search on here for parasites and also salt/c.

Sounds awfully familiar! But I would not try Doxy when you are about to go on vacation. A herx certainly would put a damper on that.
Try soaking in epsome salt baths, drinking lemon water and taking plenty of probiotics, along with healthy healthy eating! Avoid wheat and dairy and sugar for sure.

Start taking one of these high quality probiotics during the next 3 months. You could take Theralac along with you since it is more stable without refrigeration.
I hope you get to go on your vacation! Stay away from that bread in Mexico!
I'm sorry if I sound like I'm feeling helpless. Honestly, I have been researching and I guess it's just overwhelmed me. Too much information for my foggy brain maybe?
I'm new to herbs and supplements, so I guess I just need to read these suggested links and google the suggested treatment options, take notes, then do some shopping.
Thanks for your support, guys. I have never been part of a friendlier and more helpful forum.
