SO LATELY I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING WHAT I'M CALLING NEUROPATHY ACROSS MY LOWER BACK - MOSTLY AT NIGHT
MY LOWER BACK IS THE LAST REDOUBT OF THIS BUG - AT LEAST I THINK IT'S THE BUG - MY LOWER BACK IS TIGHT ALL THE TIME AND I TRY TO STRETCH AND TWIST AND TURN ALL THE TIME
USUALLY THERE IS PAIN IN THE LOWER BACK THAT I TREAT WITH TRAMADOL AND IBUPROFEN AND MAGNESIUM
BUT THE LAST FEW NIGHTS, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TRIGGER HAS BEEN, MY LOWER BACK FEELS LIKE AN ELECTRIC CURRENT IS PASSING THROUGH IT...
THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WITH FREQUENCY LIKE THIS WAS THE FIRST EPISODE WITH LYME 10 YEARS AGO...IT'S HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY OVER THE YEARS SINCE THEN BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS MSG - CUZ IT HAPPENED AFTER CHINESE FOOD....
BUT THIS HAS BEEN EVERY DAY FOR 5 DAYS
ANY SUGGESTIONS MUCH APPRECIATED.... DANP

Sounds like nerve pain.. possibly sciatica??
Perhaps it would be good to get an MRI to see if you have a degenerative disc or a slipped disc.

Believe it or not, if you are constipated you can get referred pain to your back. I looked up the side effects of Tramadol. Constipation and hypertonia (Increased tightness of muscle tone) are listed with a fairly good frequency rate.
Anytime I have back pain, I see a chiropractor. Not one that wants you back three times a week for the rest of your life. But a good one is very valuable!
Hope you feel better soon, Karen

My suggestion would be to treat parasites. They create the majority of our problems which we assume to be Lyme caused. The parasites are holding on to the metal toxins and they create even worse neuro problems. With any pain, think metal toxicity and parasites and treat them.
I attended a three day seminar with Dr. K. over the weekend and I have never seen stronger emphasis on treating toxic metals, parasites, and avoiding EMF/RF as best as possible. Parasites are living of your best food and growing at the rate of 200,000 eggs within days. They are giving you back more and more toxins in return, because they also live and die.
MMS works beautifully if you follow the rules and learn about how to do it right before you start.
Take care.
