If you thought that you were going to die from lyme
disease would you say screw the lyme diet and just eat
your favorite foods?

- Well, no one can know that, though. And I now I would feel much worse if I ate foods that are not right for my body.
But, here's the deal. Tell me what favorite foods you have in mind, and I'll bet there are ways to make them that taste delicious and are also healthful.
Good nutrition is not about deprivation. On the contrary, it's about enjoying excellent flavors from the earth (not from some food lab).
Culinary / garden herbs & spices, good oils, fresh ingredients . . . a good meal can do a body & soul good. Even if we can't know what's ahead.
Another deal: I'd also bet that while you may see no way out, there are options for treatment that might help, whatever your budget. Even if we can't afford a full and proper treatment protocol with a LLMD or LL ND, there are various ways to approach treatment.
And, along the way, still enjoy good foods with real flavor.
Decades after dropping all processed foods, I would never go back, even if I knew tomorrow was to be my last day. I have found new versions of every single food that I might have thought before was good -- but now just tastes like trash if I happen to grab a taste here or there.
Finding the best ingredients for food can help us stand up for health in many other ways, too. We are all worth having nutritious and delicious foods. -

I have a good llmd and good insurance. The 4 abx im on have a 5 buck copay. The abx aren't doing crap. I had sharp pains in my feet and upper spine and I didn't
know what that was and then it was a little while before I went to my pcp and those are the areas I'm having problems with. Its like the lyme attacked and went
dormant and now is attacking me.
What I really want is a pizza, a loaded meat lovers pizza and also homeade pasta.

- Homemade pasta Y pizza crust are both in the new America's Test Kitchen Gluten-Free cookbook.
In the meantime, Tinkyada makes a very good GF Penne. There are some frozen GF pizza crusts, I've just not tried them.
There are many good pasta sauces that are GF and healthful and also good meats from some groceries.
A very good pasta sauce that I like: OrganicVille . . . seasoned just right & GF
Fresh basil from the produce aisle will make it shine.
An onion, garlic, just get them started in the sauté pan and the aroma will brighten up the room.
I cook a carrot in my sauce . . . and be sure to add some good greens on the side. Drizzle with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. -

- If treatment is too rough & tumble, you might want to reconfigure:
LIVER & KIDNEY SUPPORT & and several HERXHEIMER support links, too. -

- Can you get massage therapy for your feet, etc? that might help a great deal. Ultrasound was very nice on my feet, on the soles.
Soaking in cozy warm water with a little bit of Epsom salts (not much) . . . rubbing with a towel . . . .
If you have a friend / family member to help out there, it would be so nice. Hope you do but even if not, you might find some kind of object to push your feet against for some light pressure massage.
Be sure you have very supportive shoes.
Have you been assessed for Bartonella? -

Thanks for the link. I don't think the treatment is too rough, I think I'm too sick at this point and abx wont cut it. I would try a rife machine
but I cant afford that. After my initial treatment it took over a year to get a llmd. I think I would be ok if I knew about lymenet then and
llmds. I eat tons of fiber every day, take all kinds of supplements and also probiotics. I just get worse and worse.

No I'm not. I'm on minocyline, biaxin, plaquenil, and cefdinir.
I started having upper spine pain in october with pain in my shoulder blades, ears ringing and headaches. Sometimes I hear
popping noises in my head and spine, but mostly my spine. I did start abx in November but they haven't stop or reduced the
symptoms at all. I was on cipro sometime in november and it has been the only thing that made my spine pain go away but I was
having so many side effects from that.
Other than that I just had a cold for 3 days and for some reason my headaches, ear ringing and popping noises in my
head stopped. Feeling better today so the symptoms have resumed, which doesn't make any sense to me.

I also have been getting pains in my ribs and sharp pains that go down my back.
Let's say that the abx won't do anything. If my upper spine continued to have inflamation how
would that kill me. Would it affect my respiratory system or am I going to have neninigitis symptoms?
