OMG! I am surely not going to make it.
I woke up at 5 am in the most awful pain of my life. I couldnt move. Feels like I am a tin man.
I am still having trouble moving. how am I supposed to function today? I need a hot shower but need someone to watch the kiddos so i can do so safely.
I also fell asleep w/o my cpap last pm. going to be a rough day.
accupuncture at 1p i pray that it helps.

I just get so angry about this, why can't they figure out the source of our pain and how to manage it?!
I know it's rhetorical, but it's just maddening. Everything else they have figured out, they find the most obscure organisms in the world and learn how to manage them.
But not Lyme. I don't get it.

Merry... also try the nightshade diet... the two diets combined MAY drop your pain from an 11 to a 9... would be small progress... but progress?
Try avoiding:
peppers, pepper white potatoes eggplant tomatoes spices in general peanuts

Merrygirl - I'm so sorry you are having so much pain. I can relate. I had 9 long years of all over body pain. Before that I had lots of pain but just not the whole body pain.
IM ceftriaxone brought my pain down by 70%. Not immediately but 3-4 months in. 6 months after going off the pain started to come back and I finally figured out that inflammation was the main issue. I need many anti-inflammatory herbs/supplements in order to keep it under control.
I hope you can get some relief very soon. I know how hopeless it can seem but hang in there because it does get better.
Terry I'm not a doctor

thank you for the support. the last 2 days have been slightly better pain wise. I havent cried for 2 whole days! yippee!
Terry- how many mls of ceftriaxone did you give IM? was it everyday? what inj sites did you use?
This may be another alternative to orals. I had 1 rocephin inj at the docs and it barely hurt. I could do that maybe.
