Judy,

I had a lot of nausea before my diagnosis just because of the lyme. Many times

I thought, " Could I be pregnant? I don't think so... " On the questionaire at

my LLMD nausea was listed as a possible symptom so that answered my question.

After a few months of antibiotics my nausea has only returned during a " break "

without abx. Regarding the " herxing " or " die-off " some things that might help

are to drink lots of water (2 quarts), hot baths (I do them as hot as I can

stand it with salt and baking soda)(don't stay in for more than 15 or 20

minutes!), and massages (it helps move the lymph so your body can get rid of the

die-off/toxins). If you're sticking to the new diet you're way ahead of the

game than I am!! I get so mad at myself that I have no self-control over what

goes in my mouth! Mainly I cheat to eat for energy because my kids/family

depends on me and I can't just rest or take a day off. I have to keep going

every day all day long (sigh). But that new diet could also be causing your

body to react and feel yucky. Especially if you were addicted to coke (like

me!). Well, I'm off to eat some healthy plain yogurt! I wish you the best.

[ ] Greetings...new lymie here..

Hi everyone, I've recently been diagnosed with Lyme Disease after 9

years of symptoms. Like so many of you I was originally dx with

Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, even though I had the bullseye

rash. I knew in my heart it was something else. After seeing nearly

20 medical professionals, I was finally diagnosed by a doctor that

also has LD. So I am just starting my journey to recovery.

I see the doctor tomorrow for my first month follow-up. I'm taking

so many different medications/supplements that I'm sick to my stomach

most of the day. She put me on a yeast free/sugar free diet and I

have been sticking to it faithfully so not really sure why the

nausea. Does anyone have a good rememdy for upset stomach? She

mentioned " herxing " but I'm not quite sure what that is. I know if I

search messages I would probably find the answer but I feel so bad

right now that I don't have the energy to sit here long enough to

search.

Thanks for listening,

Judy

Judy,

It doesn't sound like you need something to take for your upset stomach. You

are probably taking too many things as it is from what you are describing. Look

at your meds and the potential interactions, or the side effects of them. Also,

you may be allergic to one or more of your meds or supplements. On top of that,

taking too many supplements and/or meds at the same time can make you nauseated

as well. Your body is having to work hard to digest what you are taking. That

may be why you nauseated as well. Stop everything (that you can), then slowly

add them back one at a time until you find the culprits. Then stop them and

consider an alternative.
