Yes I am sad so sad about Lyme . But all I do is cry all the time. I feel do hopeless. Then the anxiety kicks in, it's a vicious cycle. I'm an emotional roller coaster!
What infection is this?
What can help

Its being stuck in the cycle. Don't feel hopeless. You have your life ahead of you. Its overwhelming to go through this. I cry all the time too. Got adrenals checked, they're barely functioning. If you can try a natuaropath try. Im tired of money out and feeling the same, but its your health. You'll be ok. Your support system is there count on them. Feel better.

Crying cause you're going through H--- on Earth (Not the worst one),,
Crying cause it causes that crying cause you're afraid crying cause your sick and you know that had somebody been on the ball at first you wouldn't be going through this crying cause you hurt crying cause your in more than one kind of pain crying cause you're missing out on life/living stuff
BUT the hope is that you will get the correct treatment and kinda like answers only from God and a healing... May he protect you and bless you in only a way that you know it was HIM...
Hope that's OK with you....and take your STUFF. Happy Holiday's , at least we are all here and I hope you at least have some family around for Holiday's..,Blessing's Nonna

you're crying because you feel like total crab all the time... i think most of us are crying for this reason
it's so embarrassing too, because i come across like a total nutcase because of it...
my neighbors can't feel my pain, but i know they hear my meltdowns :X

It's the toxins...I get this symptom too when I am bad. Babesia can do this too, but so can lyme. I would try to detox and take some binders

what are binders?

Up
Posted by RC1 (Member # 31923) on :
Binders are things like activated charcoal, apple pectin and Chlorella.
Binders bind to the toxins and it will take the herx down. Activated charcoal is the one that works the best for me.
I take 5 500 mg tablets 2x a day 2 hours away from abx. If I needed to I would go up to like 8. This has helped me tremendously.
I cried a lot when I had Bart bad. I wasn't doing the charcoal then, I wish I had known.
Hope you feel better and have a good Christmas.

Tricia, it is Bartonella.
Bartonella causes both crying and anxiety.
Posted by tricia386 (Member # 29623) on :
Ugh bartonella is my main problem I know, but levaquin almost killed me. I'm still herxing from only a few pills and I got tendon pain ugh. Thinking about using s Bart

RC1 you need to take activated corcoal 4 hrs far from abx or otherwise you will bind the medications.
Posted by RC1 (Member # 31923) on :
I usually do, but I've read that a lot of people say it's 2. I dunno. Posted by whitmore (Member # 28721) on :
Doesn't it depend on if you take it before ABX or afterwards? I take Questran, which is an Rx binder, and that can be taken no earlier than 1 hour after medications, or it'll just soak them up.
Once taken, you then have to wait 4 hours in order to take any other meds. etc. that need to be absorbed.
It gets complicated...

4 hrs away from all medications?????
Posted by CherylSue (Member # 13077) on :
Yeah, I get that, too. It's the worst during this relapse, and I think it's the macrolide family of abx. Zith was just awful for me, and I've been on pediatric doses of biaxin for a couple of months.
I stopped the Biaxin last night. I want to enjoy Christmas with my family and be happy. Mood changes, anxiety, and depression are some of the possible side effects of this med. Some people do great on it and it helps them get better.
I'm improving, but I work full time and can't handle the emotional stuff. It's been tough. I would say the anxiety and the depression are my worst symptoms now.
