What did you do? My joints are stiff im tired I cant think I have had depersonilazation because of it I think. I get dizzy can barley walk and remember things im not sure if I should keep taking my antiboitics because they may actually weaken my immune system. I was wondering if ozone therapy would work a lot of people have had success apparently. This is horrible. I know someone dropped 30 iq points with lyme once they were cured it returned but its absolutely horrible im not the3 same im not living im only 21 wtf do I do?

I had it real bad as a kid, and it did permanent damage to my joints....knees in particular. If you're getting the proper treatment you should get better, but depending on when it was diagnosed you may have lingering effects like me.

Hey my buddy had lyme disease a while ago. He felt super shitty. I have no real unique advice. He told me that the standard stuff helped speed up recovery
More fruits and vegatables. He felt he couldn't eat too much meat. Specifically red meat. He told me it loaded his digestive system. So diet tubers, veggies, whole grains, healthy fats, specifically coconut oil, turkey, fish, chicken etc.
Yoga and meditation (I do these anyways but he introduced me to it). He said it helped his joints and more importantly his general outlook
Apple cider vinegar. I take 2-3 tablespoons daily 2-3 times a day. Seems excessive but he got me into it. Helps a lot with general health
sleeping as much as 9 hours if needed. He just slept at 11pm and didnt set an alarm. Got up whenever
As i said, there were no secrets like "take this pill". Just keeping up with generally healthy habits and being patient. My relative said that acupuncture helped him. But some people say that the science on acupuncture is shit. my relative begs to differ. See what works for you.Quote:

Recurring joint pain. I'm going to need my knees replaced at some point...probably in 10 years or less. Not looking forward to that.

Thanks man did your friend ever tell you if he was taking antibiotics? The hardest part for me is I cant think. I will bump into things when walking vision is slow no motivation, fatigue physical and mental of course.

Are you taking antibiotics? That's the proper course of treatment. If not, get to a doctor stat.

I mean he took antibiotics but ate fucktons of probiotics which basically helped out his stomach. Antibiotics gave him poor digestion etc. So I assume probiotics help with that
He said he was "aggresively healthy" with his habits for a while until he felt back to normal. Like I said, he stuck to basics. Maybe try acupuncture if you believe it/have the cash. Listen to your doctor

Even if you don't want to take them, you need to. It's a bacterial infection & the longer you let it go, the more damage that will be done. And if you start feeling better you still need to finish the course of antibiotics. It could still lead to lingering effects, but the sooner the Lyme is treated, the less those effects will be. I was in late stage Lyme when I was finally diagnosed & treated.

This is fact....augmentin ?sp. is the standard antibiotic which stops it in its tracks if diagnosed early. Many of the symptoms are similar to RA, which I have and have dealt with pretty effectively so far with chaga and reishi mushroom tinctures which help stabilize my autoimmune system. I've been taking them for 3 years now with pretty good results. I'm not sure how well they will work with Lyme..but they have enabled me to stop taking some of the poisons that they use to treat RA with.
Anyway, I spend a lot of time in the woods and consequently get a lot of tick bites....If one of the bites show signs of a rash or bullseye, I immediately get a round of augmentin...it's not worth the risk. Although, I think if a tick bit me...HE would be the one that got sick. lol

Wait. OP is complaining about Lyme and he doesn't take the antibiotics? No wonder he's got so many problems. I had it twice. Took the antibiotics. No lingering problems.
I agree hippies are stupid af

certain people say to not take antibiotics. There is some level of merit to that statement. They are a last resort to disease as they wipe out your bodies' good bacteria
So thats not to say "Never take antibiotics". People take it for the common cold. Thats silly. Its a last second resort is all. Lyme disease is serious. Hence antibiotics are needed. As I mentioned, a healthy diet and probiotics are even more essential than they normally would be for the reasons that I mentioned above. Your good bacteria get fucked by antibiotics
Apple cider vinegar, yogurt, kimchi, kombucha etc. are all solid probiotics. Try them
