I have no idea what is going on folks. I feel so terrible the past few days and it's getting worse today.
I'm nauseated but hungry. I eat some toast, then get more nauseated and have diarrhea. While on the toilet I develop Vertigo. I lay down and wham the anxiety and air hunger comes on.
After the Vertigo subsides, it's massive head pain. I took some immodium and the diarrhea has subsided, but my stomach still doesn't feel right. Never had cramping, just diarrhea.
Now I'm having heartburn. Took some Maalox and a Prilosec which I don't take daily, and I'm still getting the burning, but mainly burning in my stomach.
On top of it all, my legs get weak than strong, back and forth. Of course, the general feeling of malaise.
I've been drinking water all day and urinating just fine. Also having Chills but no fever. Temp is 96.0
The ER will think I'm crazy, but I'm very close to going. Brain fog is heavy too.
It's like my nervous system has just let go. I am so scared and I havn't treated in 10 days as this is when things started and have gotten this bad.
I've taken some Xanax today, but it barely does anything. All day belching.
They told me I had POTS a while back, but I don't have the POTS symptoms anymore, but it seems like Autonomic Dysfunction for sure, just not cardiac.
I did a coffee enema last week and I think the water was too hot. I'm worried that I may have caused some intestinal damage. I was eating fine though up until yesterday, so maybe I'm just chasing for something when it's just the Lyme. No blood in the stool, so I don't think ulcer.
I have been having crying spells as well I think because I'm so scared this is permanent.
Don't have an LLMD, what do I do ?

How sad you are suffering so. Why aren't you going to a LLMD? Your symtoms sound like a tick disease.
If you had one my advoce would be to call him/her.
Best wishes in getting help.

I've been there - many times - and thinking that the ER would have a magic solution. They don't (unless you might have appendicitis or food poisoning, of course).
This is not uncommon with lyme but it will get better.
I fought this advice but it is really what works the best: REST, REST, REST.
Eat well, of course and move gently if you can. It sounds like your nervous system and adrenal system are just toasted. You mentioned elsewhere that you went to the Star Wars movie this weekend. THAT alone would fry anyone.
Do call your LLMD, of course, but REST and key nutrients are key right now. I'd even avoid all TV as it is very stimulating to someone in this situation. Soft music might be soothing to your system, though.
Chicken broth and brown rice cereal (ground like cream of wheat) would be good. It's best to avoid wheat/ gluten with your stomach acting like that, though.
Slippery elm powder mixed in water can be good for stomach, too.

Can't Afford an LLMD, so I do Salt/C and Rife.
Feels like death is coming for me.

Don't know anything about salt/C. Just what I read here.
Hope those here who do it, find your post and can help.

From a previous note, you said you did rife a week ago and felt okay afterward for a few days. So, I'm thinking . . . salt?
I'd stop the added salt for now. Don't go with no salt as that is not good either but you could be having a reaction from too much salt.
How much are you taking?
--------
Did you read all this first?:
It's important to be checked by your doctor first to be sure you do not have: high blood pressure; diabetes; any variations of cardiac rhythm; or any kidney problems.
There's more here to study before starting added salt to be sure this would be a good fit:
I have e-mailed questions and he always gets back to me, I think he's a rn.

Sea salt and vitamin C are both excellent for adrenal support and very much needed. You probably weren't taking it enough on a regular basis. Hope you feel better,

So strange I just took a Xanax a few minutes ago because I have been having the same exact symptoms as you!
I tested positive for the Babesia Duncani, and await treatment in the coming weeks.
I am hungry, thirsty, dizziness, nausea, headache and stomach weirdness.
At one point I thought I had POTS too since my blood pressure was going down. I was not diagnosed with POTS yet I had to take medication at one point to raised my blood pressure.
Have you been tested for Babesia?
