Lyme Disease Support Group

Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. It is now one of the fastest growing infectious diseases in the U.S. Lyme disease is caused by infection with the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, and is primarily transmitted to humans as well as dogs, horses and other domesticated animals by the bite of infected ticks.

So. Last week my doc tested me again and said - "there is no lyme showing in your body!". I was thrilled of course. Put a down payment on a King Charles Cavalier puppy (to take the place of my 10 1/2 year old therapy dog) and have been looking for places to rent so I can start seeing clients.



ANd today I am in bed! Ugh. I do not know if it is allergies or a cold but the body feeling is close to what I experienced with lyme and I am trying not to panic. The DOc warned me that post Lyme I would start picking up crap - why this does not happen with lyme active I do not know but it was my experience. But one of the things Lyme taught me was to rest and take a break - and I am doing that. DO I think the lyme is gone. I hope so. He is testing me again in 5 more weeks and will test periodically after that.


My issue of course is my expectation was to NEVER feel crappy or low energy again. I do this with my spiritual path as well. When I feel peace,calm,joy (any of the 8 aspects of God) I just assume that will always be my experience. Until it is not.


*sigh*



Clearly I still have lots to learn ;-)

Hi, I understand how you are feeling. When I have times of feeling good I forget that I need to pace myself and if I don't my symptoms start strong. I am having one of those Monday's. I did too much, which my most people's standard would be low activity, this weekend and now I need to rest. And, I need to watch my diet very closely today to not have any allergens or gluten.

I feel your pain, and I am sorry you are feeling so bad. I hope tomorrow will be better for you! Hugs

Hello there. For lyme disease, you need to know the onset of it. The onset of lyme disease is seasonal, with two peak periods of infection each year, June and October, with June being the most obvious. Therefore, please try to avoid contact with people with lyme virus, so as to avoid cross-infection and aggravate your illness. I suggest you to see another doctor I was a Lyme disease patient once, after few years, I found out a serial herb medicine which called DR ZHANG. They’ve been doing a medical study on Lyme disease by using herb medicine for a real long time. By using their medicine, my symptoms has been greatly relieved. And You can find helpful help on there website www.hepapro.com. Wish you get well early!

I am not sure why LYME cures do not make more news.. *sigh*
I DID find that when my doc cleared my body of candida I started to feel a LOT better. I do not have celiac so have been able to add some gluten back in my diet. I stay away from white sugar (I LOVE date palm sugar!) and most dairy. I can eat cheese but milk.yogurt - ugh.
I am back seeing clients and my joy is strong! Since I was diagnosed I have spoken to many people - each of who has a different story and some who have also found various cures. Listening to your own body seems key and of course, having a doctor who is familiar with LYME helps. I nearly went toe to toe with a "western" medical doctor who told me there was no such thing as chronic LYME, and that anti biotics ( can you say candida???) were the only way to go.
