I think that first you will need to find yourself a Lyme literate physician. You can do that by posting in the Seeking a doctor section of Lymenet to get a recommendation.

There are people on Lymenet, whom I believe have been sick for longer than you have, and who have improved significantly and feel good. I think most people are cautious about using the word cure in late stage Lyme. But, certainly I do believe we can improve to the extent of living normal lives, feeling well. Sometimes that may mean having to go back on antibiotics from time to time.

I do not believe that herbals, on their own, will make you recover from Lyme. (any more than they would Syphilis).

Like you, I was misdiagnosed for many years with CFS/Fibro and have tried many alternative/complementary therapies that did not get me well. Therefore, I've gone full circle and am now going conventional, along with some herbs, and vitamins, and as I get better/stronger and can afford to, then I will add in a few more supportive measures. That is my plan.

WELCOME To LYMENET


Here's more goodys! A typical response to newcomers.

Hi and WELCOME! Get a LLMD or at least Dr that is willing to learn about lyme. Borrelia Burgdorferi is a clinical diagnosis, based on symptoms and on your response to treatment. Good Luck, bumpy road ahead.

Glad Tree posted his/Tincup's combo newbie links for you. Be sure to print this off, check off as you read as there are many months of reading.

Tree constantly adds things also; so later print it off again so you don't miss something you were looking for...ok.
