No matter I hate it or not. Lyme has been with me and possibly will be with me for my life. I don't know the answer. But I would like to share some of my thoughts and wish everyone find your way to health and well-being.
I had tick bite in summer of 2007. I remember that big bull eye rash but I didn't pay attention until march 2008. I had one swollen keen I think it was triggered by Lamisil taken one month before because I was trying to cure my toe fungus. Later diagnosed lyme, taking doxycycline for 4-6 weeks. Then my other knee started to swell too.
Many month passed by, my knees were still swollen. I searched and researched and visited different doctors. I came here to read as much information as I could. The conclusion I got was to do long-term antibiotics treatment. I tried different antibiotics and combined antibiotics. But the experiences with antibiotics was scary too. I remember for a while once I took one of kind of antibiotic, my eye sight would become immediately blurred and had abdominal pain on right side.
I was on and off antibiotics around 3years. During this 3 years, I learned to buy powerful probiotics and tired different kind of supplements to offset side effects. I tried IV glutathione which I think it helped a lot but was not able to keep doing this because time, expense and doctor. I also tired some "liver detox" which I think it was helpful too. But be careful side effects of this kind of thing. Don't over do it.
I got a lot better over time, but physically I was still very weak. This kind of pain nobody could understand but yourself. Also I realized I can not take more antibiotics because it would kill me someday before I got well.
I was thinking I must have something else not right so that my body cannot function properly. About a year ago, I started to eat less meat. Stay away all kinds of sugar. I noticed my body feel terrible after eating too much carbohydrate food and sugary food. With healthy diet for a few month, I got a lot of better I think mainly because of cutoff of fatty food.
I stopped taking antibiotics. But then I found yeast like a ghost haunting me all the time. I started to search Candid and fungus information. I tried natural food and supplements, guess what, my health improved further. Before killing fungus, I was easily agitated, I could not sleep well. My face complexion was horrible. My memory was poor and easily to get depressed. All these improved dramatically after I killed lots of fungus. I am so happy I can sleep through night now that gives me energy, mental sharpness and happiness in the beginning of every day.
I am thankful I found the big myth of my poor health. Even though I still have little arthritis in knees and pains here or there. But I really feel my life is back. I remember long time ago I read somewhere a Germany doctor said treating lyme, fungus is the trick(not original words, just as much as I can say). But it really took me a while to understand his words to help my own health.
Now I can sleep well through night. I am careful what I am eating. Excise regularly, I feel I gain my life back even it is a little more imperfect. Well, it is ok I can take it this way.
Wish everyone on your success to gain your health back!
Also I would like to thank people answered my questions in this forum. Without you, I could not find my way to health. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing your story.
I agree, yeast/ fungi infections going systemic in the body can wreak havoc and do a lot of damage,
I've seen it first hand, too. Glad you are feeling better!
