Re: insomnia...legs twitching.......anyone? infrared light treatma...

[Guest guest]

Laurie-

Infrared sauna is excellent.

Leg twitching COULD be from magnesium deficiency (and I usually recommend a

good calcium/magnesium supplement that I use and it helps with insomnia as well

as twitching).

DONT anyone write me hate mail about peddling products!!! I have been on this

board for over 8yrs. and am just trying to make suggestions. If this

continues, I will not share what is working in my protocols. This is why I left

this

board over a yr ago.

Hi,

All these problems were a pain for me when I got lyme in 1993. I had to

really work on the sleep thing. Your body has a clock and when I got sleepy

like 10 or so, I put the vcr on and went to bed. If I tried to finish a program

I couldn't sleep. I did take Kava Kava, Valerian, Cat Nip.....anything I

could find to help. You might want to have him tested for Babesia.....those

sweats are awful. Slo-Mag suggested by Dr. B. helped me tremendously with the

leg

cramps and twitches. When your body has a bad infection it uses up your

magnesium really fast. I just buy it at Meijers, they have the best price.

All I can tell you is it took me 3 years to get my sleep pattern down. I

still get insomnia, but not as bad or not near as long. I even used a CD

player with super soft music and headphones. Also being treated for the Babesia

did help.

Don't give up......it will work out eventually. Take your time.....now I

use Ambien which is the only sleep med that puts you into REM sleep. But

sometimes that doesn't work. I was on Elavil, but found out it has adrenelin in

it

and would wake me up at 2am everynight. Good luck and hang in there.

thanks Connie for the info...it seems this is a usual problem for advanced

lyme...we will be at the dr again this thursday for our 2nd month of

antibiotics....i guess that puts us one month closer to feeling better! Although

without sleep i dont know how a body can mend...hopefully dr will help us find a

solution but any advice here is helpfull!...Laurie

Dear Sue....I am looking foward to the infra red sauna...i purchaced one on

ebay...a 2 seater brand new for $1995...I hope this is helpfull for

detoxing....we are trying the magnesium....I appreciated the info you shared

with me....dont worry about those who dont want to take your advice...you are

just doing what the others of us are and that is trying to help others with lyme

issues...those among us can tryor not try what you suggest but even if you help

only one person with one symtpom it is worth your effort and an very kind thing

you are trying to do... just suggest and leave it in others hands....thats all

you can do....im asure everyone suffers from different problems and what helps

some doesntothers but we are all here to learn.....god bless...laurie
