I was doing pretty well. I went 2 years on antibiotics...mono-therapy... switching antibiotcs up every few months.
I had to stop treatment a year ago because I could no longer afford to see my LLMD...and the fact that all three of my kids have Lyme and co-infections and I couldn't afford all of us to get treatment.
For me... most of my symptoms were gone and I was living life pretty happily. I only had/have severe nerve pain in my leg that nothing seems to help.
Otherwise, muscle twitches, joint pains, tremors, feeling like I'm vibrating etc etc etc seemed to go away.
Now it is all crashing back and we still can not afford treatment.
What do people DO for themselves and their families who can't afford treatment?!?!?! We live paycheck to paycheck and eat as healthy as we can.
What is the best I can do for systemic inflammation as far as natural treatment goes?
I am so depressed.

I'm so sorry IckyTicky. This illness is such a drain on families, including mine.
My DD has been in treatment for two years now and I have opted to not be in treatment even though I know I have it too.
I JUST started going to a naturopath about a month ago and I'm hoping for some improvement. This guy has treated many people with lyme successfully.
I try not to freak out about the money but it's hard not to. I usually end of quitting something that's working because of money.
Many people have had success with salt/vit c. I can't do that because of a bladder condition, but if I could I would be doing it too.

You probably would benefit from some antiparasitic herbs. They can also be antifungal. The vibrating for me was always about parasites.
Parastroy is good to start with and you can increase the capsules to 3 each Para Rid and para sweep 2 x a day after the 3rd week.
Humaworm and Hanna kroeger Wormwood Combo are also other good options. You could also benefit from the salt.c protocol.
Antiparasitics should be taken until symptom free. Also extra cloves are good to kill the eggs and larva the parasites have layed.
These are all VERY inexpensive protocols that helped give me my life back after I could no longer afford and LLMD.
