I hear Epsom baths are useful for detoxing and pain...?
Any Lyme patients have experience with this?

Yes, done plenty, I have a love/ hate relationship w/ them,
as I've never been a take a bath gal (shower)

Go slow at first, but ideally, very warm water up to navel at least, 1-4 cups Epsom salt, 20 minutes minimum.

Have water at side- towel, you may sweat- soft bristle body brush beforehand opens pores if you want.

If you find you start to use them,
Saltworks.com
ships large bags free, good price. I am not affiliated.

My skin gets irritated very easily. Epson salt burns my skin (even low, diluted amounts).

Some people do well with it though.

They really helped me. I soaked for 30 minutes. It helped me sleep better too.
