Well, I get the part about being away from microwave towers, mold, and of course, lowering the chances of getting bit again, but are there any hints for environments that are condusive to healing?
If I were to go away for 1-3 months, where to go? Locally? Desert? Ocean? Yukon? The light on my skin gives me so much pain, but that is getting better. Heat of course is brutal, but it does kill 'keets, so somewhere with airconditioning...where does one go?? Ayurvedic spa? Where, where, where can I speed this healing process up?

up
Also, I was thinking, foggy, low barometric pressure is more comfortable for me, and high pressure makes me very uncomfortable. Perhaps the high pressure is prompting a Herx?
Where to go...

Colorado is low in pressure and its very dry out there and there no mold. But there is the oxygen thing. Theres less of it, so you have to bring a tank or work out harder.

ANy other ideas on Colorado?
Im thinking of moving there to live with a family member.
Is the oxygen that much lower? When I was out there for 2 weeks the first two days I couldnt move and then I just evened off and felt my own crappy self.
The air is cleaner though, I wonder if this would compensate.

Something strange with Colorado and my husband.
Years before he was diagnosed with anything (now he has an Ms/Lyme dx) he would have to go to Denver once a yr for work and spend about 5 days there. He would complain each time how much he hated it because he would feel HORRIBLE. He would feel fatigued and get a blasting headache...
This past year after two years of lyme treatment he didn't complain at all...not one bit.
Weird.

For me, being out in the sun by the ocean is a great healing environment. I forget why the air is different by the sea(there's a scientific explanation) but my body seems to funtion more like it's supposed to... It has to be warm though..

If you change your diet, you change your body right down to the cellular level. Then your body can cope with the environment better.
If you suffer allergies, my allergist once told me that people who suffer allergies will develop allergies to whatever environment they move to, so moving is only a temporary help.
