Since SPECT scans show decreased blood flow in the brain of Lyme patients, I'm wondering if using an inversion table would help. Hanging upside down brings more blood to the brain. Rosie O'Donnell said she cured her depression with an inversion table.

I would be extremely cautious and ask your LLMD first.
There is no telling what spirochetes might do when the brain is turned upside down. In general, spirochetes want to be in quiet and dark places - and they hate vibration and movement. If they get flipped, they may be more likely to go into cyst form.
But your LLMD may have a good idea of whether it could harm - or help.
With inflammation of the brain (as with lyme), inversion may not be a good idea - and with some of the low blood pressure problems that a lot of lyme patients deal with, too, there are some questions.
I'd love to hear what your LLMD will say.
