Hot Sauna - Helps with Fatigue
For me, once I sweat a bit my joints
loosen up, the pain goes down, and I
feel less fatigue for the rest of the
day.

Ibuprophen - A miracle worker for me.
a steady diet of 3 a day seems to help
cut down the flu feeling. (for me)

Lifting Weights - Helps with Brain fog
Also helps me with a fatigue. I can
only do a little bit before I tire out
but it seems to help.

Treadmill (30 mins light jog) - Death!
I'm wiped out for the rest of the day
and feel like sleeping for a year.

Sugar/Bread/Beer/Wine - Death for me
Makes all my symtoms worse. Seems
to increase the swelling feeling.

Sun - brings on fatigue for me. I need
to limit my time outside.

Damp days - Symtoms become 5x worse.

hot sauna reminds me of ozone therapy

i have never really tried it...i went to an "llmd" that swore by it ( right jodie )

my sister swore he had a hidden camera in that room

anyway...i waitress along with my full time job and i swear my muscles feel better when they are active then when i am sitting at a desk all day....

sugar is bound to make you feel worse..yeast...all the GOOD stuff is a no-no....

by the way.....question while i am rambling....does any see a problem with hot pepper ...like should i stop eating them???..i love them....should i worry since abx is already hard on the belly???

sun either makes me tired or i get a rash or creppies under the skin....

damp days are like being old with arthritis
all my joints and symptoms multiply..i think it is the case with all lyme folks...

hope this makes sense...do i ever

amyb

I believe heat kills spirochetes. You probably also release toxins through persipiration in a sauna. Personally, I can't breathe in saunas so I can't speak from experience.

I've started doing Ashtanga or Flow yoga and feel incredible. I try to do it at least 3-4 times a week. I definitely have more pain, particularly in my legs, hips and upper back/shoulders, when I don't do the yoga. It's also given me much more energy and made a good impact on my figure

I stopped straight cardio work, because I found I was getting woozy and tired from it. Dr. B says to stay away from cardio, and focus on light strengthening because cardio gets the spirochettes all worked up. I refused to believe it. But the switch from straight cardio to yoga (which is still some cardio) was incredible.

The sugar and carb thing makes it sound like you may have a yeast overgrowth. Are you on any anti-yeast regimen?

I've always noticed I get tired when I go to the beach. I've had Lyme since I was 12, so I never put 2 and 2 together...

So what damage is taking 1 on an empty
stomach doing to me ???

I hope I didn't scare you.

1 Softgel Advil will get me through 4 hours of working with clients. It has been a life saver. However, it is contraindicated for those with Leaky Gut and Candida. So, please use it cautiously. In excess, it really can cause bad stomach problems, especially if you have yeast overgrowth & it sounds like you do if sugar sends you over the edge.

Ashtanga yoga has also been a life saver for me. When I couldn't walk I got my mobility back with abx and yoga. I try to do it every day to keep my joints working.

I feel crummy for a whole day after a sauna. But, I do believe it is helping to clear out the bugs and yeast.

Massage helps to stimulate my lymphatic system. After an hour massage I am wiped out. But, the next day I generally have more energy.

PS: Advil on an empty stomach is probably not a good idea. JMHO.

Saunas release toxins. SO that does make a lot of sense.

Thats an antiinflammatory. Lyme is an inflammatory disease. That makes alot of sense.

Can ALSO release toxins and puts oxygen into ya. Yep, that makes sense too.

maybe a little bit TOO much oxygen

Lyme feeds off sugar. Also, sugar suppress the immune system making it less able to fight. You're still making sense

Lyme hates heat. It also dies under it.

Damp days - Symtoms become 5x worse.***
Damp=mold=yeast=dampened immune system. Plus, lyme likes to cause Multiple Chemical Sensitivities. Yeup! You made all kinds of sense.

As far as Advil, 1-3 a day would have done nothing for me. I used to take 14 a day just to cut the edge. I know, I know, really bad. There were no other options 15 years ago. I am happy to say that now, just 2 Advil take down pain like they should.

Cardio, always made me really wiped out. Felt really stupid trying to do jazzersize. Such brain fog, I could never figure out what the class was doing. I always stood in the back so no one could see me. I HATED it when everyone turned and I was then in the front.

I haven't seen a correlationm with the sun, It could be though.

When I am in a slump I do notice sugar can give me an instant headache.

Yoga, 3-4 times a week. I feel it releases toxins in my system, uses all my muscles and joints, and builds strenght.

Increased protein. I was a vegetarian for 14 years (I started about the same time my Lyme symptoms started...oddly enough). I began to eat meat again for the anti-yeast diet. I actually believe the increased protein helped me build muscle and helped my muscle and soft tissue heal.

Law school. Call me crazy, but starting an evening law school program was the best thing I could've done for Lyme. It got my mind off of it. So anything you can do that you enjoy that keeps you from thinking about Lyme is good.
