Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 This may not fit the groups description so please sensor if that is the case. This is a report of how I am doing after getting full blown lyme systems. I only had systems of lymes really bad for approximately two weeks. I want to say here that I don't know what I would have done if I had had symptoms for many years living with the pain and unable to work. I really feel for people in that situation. I just want to share my story in case it helps someone. Three weeks ago my symptoms were: 1) heavy brain 2) brain fog 3) disorintation 4) confusion 5) pain in my rotator joint - right arm 6) joint pain going to all my joints 7) depression 8) panic 9) constipation 10) floaters in my eyes 11) feelings in my body from lymes 12) loss of appetite 13) liver congestion 14) gall bladder congestion 15) toxic on a cellular level 16) constant smell coming up from my body 17) hoarseness 18) TMJ 19) bad memory 20) muscle cramping 21) shooting pain 22) having trouble sleeping. There are probably more but I can't think of them now. Things that I am doing for lymes are: 1) ionic foot cleanses 2) homeopathic medicine to help my immune system fight the disease 3) lots of natural antibiotics 4) salt/vitamin c 5) virus herbs 6) herbs for bacteria 7) copper 8) other herbs and products as I remember to take them 9) cold laser at doctor's office [helps my body fight the disease] 10) vibration therapy at doctor's office 11) minerals 12)more sleep and 12) liver/gallbladder cleanse. The reason that I went to an alternative doctor (naturopath / chiropractor)is because I cannot take antibiotics, medicines and don't like MD's attitudes and prices. I lived with my arm pain for four-five months instread of going to MD. After learning about the ionic foot cleanse I made an appointment to get one in my area. When I went in the office for an ionic foot cleanse I felt good about the atmosphere and made an appointment to see the doctor. Now, the beautiful thing is that I don't have many symptoms left from the lymes. I attribute that to the fact that even though my doctor says I have had lymes for a long time, I think it has mostly been dormant. With all the things I am doing 1) I don't have joint pain hardly at all 2) hardly feel any lymes in my body 3) still have some depression 4) still have some arm pain but not so much rotator cup pain 5) sleeping better 6)no internal smell coming up from my body 7) better appetite 7) still constipated 8) not very many noticeable floaters in my eyes 9) liver and gallbladder doing better 10)don't get disoriented 11) no heavy brain 12) no confusion. In general, I am feeling much, much better. I just hope it continues to get better. Apparently my immune system was not fighting the lymes and that is why I started getting so bad so fast. I was scared. I live by myself and how am I to support myself if I am disabled? I had to get better. I know a lot of people do not like alternative doctors. It took me years to come to a comfort level myself so I know how many feel. I am very cautious that way. I am very thankful for the way I went because I feel as though I am on the recovery side. My doctor said that he has had patients on their death bed come to him for treatment. He said typically a lyme patient will recover in around two months and longer if the disease has been chronic. Just hope this helps someone out there that likes the alternatives instead of traditional medicine. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
