Felt a little better each month with less symptoms
Some things are back including fatigue and Parkinson's like head tremor
Mentally I want to get up and do things but physically I am a sloth
My daily accomplishments are showering and getting dressed it takes forever because I have to rest no stamina
Ultimately I spend most of my day on the couch, whats going on.....

So sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon.
I've been dealing with this stuff for almost 20 years. Finally, I started treating for parasites and am finally getting well. I had no clue I had them, no GI complaints or anything that would have given an indication. My worst symptoms were buzzing, tingling, vibrations, etc. for many years. After 7 months they are just about all gone. Actually, the symptoms were greatly reduced within the first few weeks.
Dr. K in Seattle has been preaching about this for years. He treats all of his patients for parasites first, then goes on to treat Lyme and co-infections.
Recently, I've heard that even Dr. H in NY has started saying that the number one co-infection in patients is parasites.
Finally, more of the main stream docs are recognizing this long over-looked infection.
Even if you don't want to go the prescription route, maybe consider trying Humaworm or Parastry, then slowly start adding salt/c (the salt/c is a must).
Best to you.

I have to agree with everything Tammy said. Parasites are a big piece to the puzzle.

Mon - I have several doctors. My local LLMD who is very knowledgeable and has been treating patients for probably close to 30 years is not familiar with how to treat for parasites. But she is amazing, open-minded and very supportive and has been willing to oversee me on this.
So it comes as no surprise your LLMD has not discussed parasites with you. It is likely he/she is just not familiar. Thankfully more docs are getting on board with it. Hopefully your doc is open-minded enough to help assist you in this area. You have to to be your own advocate.

Omg parasites.....yuck I cant wrap my mind around this. I'm still creeped out about babs.

True about Dr H.
Had my appt recently and I was shocked and then so ecstatic that they mentioned parasite treatment and that many are getting parasites.
Also another shocker was his recommendation to try colloidal silver and that many get a big time herx from it. I know I sure got a herx from it on my first 1/2 teaspoon.

Remember - Willy Bergdorfer (the discoverer of the Lyme spirochete) was studying filarial worms (parasites) in ticks when he stumbled upon his discovery of Borrelia Berdorferi.
