I wish I knew believe me. I think about it every waking moment. Some will say supplement with Magnesium.

seems lymies are critically short of Magnesium and calcium.
It seemed my sxs were stemmed from getting worse when I started taking BOTH those.
It HAS to stay in a 2:1 ratio or you get in bigger trouble.
It doesnt happen over night tho,,,give it 6 months at LEAST before you give up on trying it.
AND dont buy wally world store brand Magn. either!!!
IF I quit now,, my pain threshold zooms out of sight!!! So I guess you can say it controls it NOW!!! still --just don--

Hi Atheana --
I had Super tight muscles for about 10 years --Was Horriable--
It was like lifting weights 24X7-
I had to professional musses tell me that I had the Tightest muscles they had ever seen -- OucH
Babs is what caused this to me-- once I started Babs treatment my muscles Tightness went away -
Took about 4 months into treatment for the tightness to reduce completely -Jay-

The infection is the main cause to it.
Also could be from some defeciencys, lack of stretching/working out.
Toxins get trapped in the muscles after they get tight causing trigger points which is even more painful.

Yes, it's the toxin build-up, among other things. I assume you are in treatment with a LLMD and all coinfections have been properly assessed.
As for what you can do for this symptoms beyond addressing infection(s),
First, is your magnesium level up to bowel tolerance
Professional massages, warm (not hot) baths in epson salt, Qi Gong or Yoga, etc.
Be sure to be aware of your posture at all times.
This book answers many questions of "why?" and "what's happening?" and it offers solutions for many symptoms.
This book, by an ILADS member LLMD, holds great information about treatments options and support measures:
