Not sure if there are any naturopathics here, we are kind of limited here, but thanks.

Coffee enemas and epsom salt baths always helped my pain. I think massman has a good point, if you're getting worse and killing bugs, it must be toxins.

Look into treating with antiparasitics. Parasites and worms play a MAJOR part in Lyme disease. Check out
This is EXACTLY what came pouring out of me when I started antiparasitic herbs and salt/c. Previously I had done 4yrs of oral antibiotics including 6 mos of IV rocephin,

Nobody really answered the question of "how much pain can one person take"
I want to know the answer as well. I have also been in treatment for 4 years now and I have just as much pain now as I did 4 years ago. Changes locations, but just as bad.
What kind of toll does this take on our hearts, etc? All my blood tests for everything a regular Dr. would order are always OK, but I have to wonder.....
And we all know, if your test results are normal, you're not sick

No one seems to want to answer the "pain" question as I posed it a week ago or so.......
Magnesium and fish oil are great, I've been taking them for years, however I don't believe those recommending this really know what bone crushing, knife stabbing, debilitating pain is.
I've been in terrible pain lately. I have no idea why and at this point I don't care why. I just need less pain. When serious pain set in for me, that was all I could see or feel.
I've started taking Vicoprofen and am renewing my state marijuana license. I also take muscle relaxers. I think these three meds are helping the most with pain. I'm hoping this is just a flare up that will subside before too long. If not, I will continue to manage pain in whatever way works.
I hope you get some pain relief soon [Smile]

we all agree; PAIN IS THE WORST for most lyme patients.
but in my case, 3 things are WORSE!
sensitivities of lights, glare & reflection;
noise/sounds like full base volume;
and chemicals ... perfumes, colognes, aftershaves, hairspray, diesel fumes, cleaning/office products, some oriental foods, etc.
i can deal with my pain over these 3 sensitivities!
for my pain, i use a full length back heating pad and alternating with frozen 3M ice packs for my neck/upper shoulders, and lower back area.
pain pills don't cut it for me!
laughter is good; put on COMEDIES will take your mind off your pain.
follow the lyme green road to remission ...
it just can NOT come quick enough for any of us!

You take as much as you can take before you break. Everything eventual breaks, even the strongest among us if enough pressure is applied.
In this case, you're not dead yet, so the question is, what is missing? You're missing something. What could be causing those types of symptoms. A co-infection, over-treatment rates.
If I were you, I would request that my treatment slow down -- even take a break for a week -- and then return to appropriate dosing.
You may be over-medicated for your individual circumstance. What else are you on, and how long has this excruciating pain been occurring?

I feel the same. Some days I wish I could sleep forever. Now, the pain wakes me up. Hang in there. I know it is tough.
epsom salt baths do nothing for me, wish they did.
My pain is relentless, can barely take it.
