I've been taking very low does abx...protocol from LLMD because of liver/gallbladder pain. Apparently my body is over loaded with toxins and I've been detoxing like crazy.

During this time I've had horrible chronic fatigue again. I wake up and am ready to go back to bed.

Any ideas on what I can do to help the fatigue and try to function?

I have been experiencing the same thing since being on a very low pulsed dose of meds. I find that I simply have to rest. My body is tired by about 11:00 AM, after working. So, I just take 15 minutes to chill. I work for a few more hours and then I am ready to crash again by 4:00. So, I exercise then and do get a bit of a second wind.

Of course, talking myself into actually exercising is exhausting in itself.

On weekends I try to sleep in, past 7:00 and I take an hour long nap in the afternoons. I don't see any other way around the fatigue.

Hope you feel better soon. (Me too).

Thank you BC! Sounds like you work from home like me. I'm so wiped out and I try to exercise as much as possible but it's tuff as you know.

I don't take too many naps...I'll have to start doing that!

I think that riding a bike without over doing it, is a really good way to exercise while sick with lyme, that is if you are able to, and I have found that it does increase my energy. Also gentle yoga done as many days as possible I think will help increase energy.

I went fishing today for the first time in almost two years since I got really sick, and expected to be fine cause I have been exercising more lately than than I have in a very long time, but I am so sore from climbimg around and wading through water, my feet and legs, esp. my knees and heels are hurting so much I am questioning whether or not it was worth it. I think I will really pay the price tomorrow and the next few days, it sucks, so my advice is stick to low impact type of exercises.

Snowbaorder, I have found distilled water to be a life saver when I'm feeling toxic.

Distilled water is used for rehydration, as a solvent to our system to help remove waste products from the body. Something most types of waters cannot accomplish.

The body can absorb up to four ounces of liquid in a 30 minute period. Suggestion is 12-15 four ounce glasses of distilled water per day.

Try it, it works for me. It will take about 24 hrs to feel less toxic. And you will smell the toxins as the body starts to release them.

I go back to filtered water during good times.

Take care, Pam

I would suggest a herbal detox regimen to help cleanse your body of the toxins. go to a herbal store or health food or natural food store and ask for advice. probably something with milk thistle in it would be helpful for the liver
