lets make that 6 horrific months and a real difficult year!
I think I am , I HOPE I am, finally throught the worst of this.
I hope I don't have a huge relapse.
I actually feel 60%- 80% better.
I am actually going throught the day forgetting that I am sick. I wasn't in bed hardly at all yesterday! WOW!
IT works! This treatment works.
I was never on any I.V. treatment and my LLMD focused on treating BABS and BART! the whole year.
WE added high oral doses of AMOX, in sept.
My PCP put me on CYMBALTA to help with my pain, but it didn't work at all. It was making me irritable, blah and unmotivated. I thought it would work but it really didn't. It is a scary drug for me.
My BRILLIANT LLMD sent me INDOCIN and maybe that is what is finally taking the pain away after 3 years of being on narcotics. I don't need many narcotics this week and have started to ween myself off of them.
AMAZING! our LLMD's really know what will work and what won't. our PCP's really have no clue!!
I also know I am feeling better because of the meds that my LLMD had me on.
For those who feel discouraged! DON"T QUIT, I woke up one morning and felt almost 100% better.
TOMMORROW COULD BE YOUR MORNING!!!!
LOVE from missing!

Yippeee!! Treating bart and babs is crucial if you have them.. that is FOR SURE. You can treat lyme only "forever" and not get anywhere if you have coinfections.
About that Indocin... Do whatever you can to PROTECT your stomach. That stuff can be REALLY hard on it.
I'm SO glad your pain is SO much better!!!
