I'm new to all of this - just researching and learning as I go.

I have an appointment set-up with a recommended LLMD, but she can't see me until December.

I believe I contracted Lyme in 2006.

Can anyone direct me to information on suggested self-care that I can start with while I wait five months for drugs?

Thanks for any suggestions you may have!

What are your symptoms?
There are many things you can do to improve your health and reduce symptoms.

Read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub.
This will fill in so much information.

When I first began this journey, LymeNet was having big discussions about cat's claw, and I began taking that to stimulate the white blood cells to phage bacteria.
That way I was "doing something" while I figured out what else to do.

Rain Tree Nutrition, Cat's Claw, 500 mg, 100 Capsules
http://www.iherb.com/Rain-Tree-Nutrition-Cat-s-Claw-500-mg-100-Capsules/17470

Rain Tree is the best brand, and iHerb.com has better prices than the Rain Tree site.

You can also try other brands of cat's claw.
http://www.iherb.com/Cat-s-Claw

Buhner's Protocol advises three or four capsules of cat's claw, three or four times daily, for up to a year.
Sinatra's protocol advises Wobenzym and cat's claw.

Google for articles about cat's claw.

There are no sooner appointments in my area. I am on their cancellation list.

I have seen Under Our Skin and am reading Cure Unknown.

I believe I contracted Lyme in 2006. My regular GP thinks that I have Fibromyalgia.

My symptoms are: debilitating fatigue, post-exertion malaise, all over buzzing feeling, tremors, palsy, debilitating brain fog, and... Pain is not a primary issue for me.

Any suggested readings on diet or nutrition or supplements would be appreciated.

Thanks!

The Lyme Disease Solution by Dr. S. is good - has dietary and supplement guidelines. I think he's also written a book something to the effect of "the Lyme Disease Diet"

Search on google or amazon...

(I have no financial affiliation with anything or any person mentioned in this post...)
