Whew! OK...so I am being very cautious about this. Almost afraid that the second I type the words I will regress!

I'm starting to feel human again. I feel like my mind is returning, I'm remembering words and what is going on. I have stamina, weeded for several hours on Saturday, was up this morning cleaning my kitchen.

This past March, I cleaned my kitchen and it put me in bed the rest of the day and the next. My girls had to bring their dolls into the room with me and play on the bed while I lay there. It wasn't an isolated incident. I had to plan my days knowing I would have to lay in bed the next day with any possible exertion.

I am thinking that I will be working possibly this fall. It's exciting!

I have tried various things, took three 100 mg Doxy pills in March, end of April started taking 2 large fresh crushed garlic cloves every day, May started eating mostly raw foods, beginning of June did one Erchonia cold laser Therapy session. I herxed for sure. I think this is what has helped a lot.

My EMEM5 rife machine will be here tomorrow.

I have started trying to drive again. The anxiety and brain fog were too bad before. Yesterday I drove 12 miles round trip, purchased a butterfly bush for our landscaping. Today I went to the bank to withdraw some money and then just drove around because I could.

It feels really good. My heart palps have gotten so much better.

Oh...I forgot, I have been eating a lot of ginger chews lately as well. My body has been getting tired earlier (it is 10:13 pm and I feel ready for bed).

I'm beginning to trust my body and these feelings of life again. But it is hard. Several times today I questioned it.

I will do the laser again. I am very curious to see how it works, not sure if it mostly kills or tells the immune system what to do. On one of my Lyme e-mail groups, the owner of the group said he had spoken with people who claimed the 'C' word regarding Lyme and the laser.

I have not heard anyone who has tried it without success.

I plan to do it again next week when we get back from Michigan.

Betty and Shelly,

Thanks so much for your kind words, I appreciate them so much!

Course I didn't feel as good today when I got up, but nothing like this past spring. Had a lot of ginger yesterday and had a lot of air hunger today and legs are tired.

However, I still drove by myself to the post office downtown (about 10 mile drive roundtrip) and picked up my EMEM5 rife machine!

I'm so excited to have it!

My brother also has Lyme and isn't well yet with abx (he's only been on them for 3 months). He is going to try the rife and also the laser. I will definitely post if he and I are both able to get well again completely!

Oh...my 8 year old son has not had any chest pains since the laser either, which is very exciting, they were very frequent up until doing the treatment.

I will let you know if another treatment helps me as much as I believe the last one did!

Take care,
Ocean

So happy to hear this!!!! Yay!!!!

What is the cold laser that you are mentioning? Is there a special name for this treatment? I am assuming you need to find a qualified practitioner? Is it expensive?

Thanks SOOO much guys, it means a lot! I'm sure I still have a ways to go...but compared to May where I felt like I was dying, told my mom and husband I was 'ready'...

Dave,

I hadn't heard of using the Erchonia cold laser for Lyme either. Someone I know owns one and said they have Lyme settings for it and asked if I wanted to try it. I said sure, not thinking it would really do much.

Within 25 mins I was really tired. That night I slept 10 hours straight, not even waking up to pee which usually it's between 1-3 times per night. Had a lot of anxiety the next 3 days, fever, headache, neck pain. Within one week of doing the laser I was noticing a definite difference.

Sammy,

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

Maureen, pm me and I can give you details on what I know about it..it isn't a lot, but I've learned some.

Thanks Feelfit!!!

You too Seek =)

Dekrator,

Thank you as well...I need to start posting more on my blog. It still scares me that once I start posting about my improvements that it will backslide. I need to trust in my body and my feelings.

Take care everyone =)

Ocean
