Any suggestion to help with the horrible fatigue of Chronic Lyme? I am getting non functional due to the fatigue I also have the body aches to the bone, anxiety/depression.
Haven't been on in awhile as I lost my husband to cancer.. I always thought I would go first as he was taking care of me. He was Dx on his birthday and 5 wks later gone. I am simply heartbroken It has been 9 mo and I did okay taking care of him and up until about 3 mo ago, now all the symptoms are back full force.
I do not have a doctor nor can afford one. My GP doesn't know what to do he is saying its grief and depression, that is true but I know my lyme symptoms. I was retested and my test came back negative.. Western Blot..
So any help please. My granddaughter is getting married, its out of town and I so don't want to miss her wedding as my husband was going to give her away,( she lost her Dad)..
Sorry for the rambling..

I am so very sorry for your loss. Your husband sounds like a wonderful man.
For the fatigue, have you ever tried COQ10 or Researched Nutritionals NT Factor Energy?

Very sorry for your loss, phyl!! So sorry to hear this.
Also try watching your diet .. avoid foods high in histamine. They can cause fatigue in some people.

Phyl, were you ever diagnosed with Babesia too? That can cause fatigue.
I'm very sorry you lost your husband.
If you wan to private message me I will send you a list of all of my supplements that I believe are helping a lot.

SacredHeart, I was tested twice through Igenex for Babesia and both negative. Now all test are coming back negative. I am wondering if the fatigue etc is coming from my grieving .. The doc says depression/ grief..but I have little faith in most doctors..
Too, not only did I lose my husband my son-in-law died in March, suddenly, and my 23 yr old granddaughter has been dx with stage 4 cervical cancer.. She has had one surg and the doc thought they got it all but he called and he didn't she goes tomorrow to see what her options are. Needless to say I am a basket case in sooooo many ways..
Thank you and any info about your supplements please PM me..

I am so very sorry about the loss of your husband. I know that must be so hard to get through. prayers and hugs to you.
on the fatigue... I had linguring tiredness and achy muscles, etc, and felt like I had to plop on sofa all day long- then my dr said it was my adrenals and after taking adrenal stuff it got so much better.
I hope you find relief. there may be a fatigue center nearby? I see there is one near me. maybe you have one to . even if they don't know about lyme or tick disease they might help with getting through the wedding at least.
