Just took a blood test for Lyme Disease. I have been having unexplained joint pain in my legs and lack of energy. Have had several tick bites in the last several months. What does anyone know about this?
I’m in my third week of treatment for Colorado Tick Fever. No Lyme in Colorado. Found the tick the same day. Three days later down and out. Zero energy. Ring around the bite at day four. Got the doxycycline and it took another week to want to get out of bed. Just now feeling normal.
Me too, very good dog at 7 yrs old. I was crushed.
Antibiotics are of little help. If you are in the area that has Lyme Complex released from Plum Island “Lyme” is 5 different diseases that synergistically interact to make it IMPOSSIBLE to cure with any simple antibiotic course.
Lyme Complex treated with the CDC recommended two week Doxycycline course can and will kill you.
Lyme is no joke. But Lyme Complex is an American made Bio Weapon, and it is insidious.
Actually, he lives in Maryland and said specialist near there using it. But our conversation got interrupted. So did not get details. My thought is maybe sugar feeds lyme and stevia starves it.But, regardless guess it is becoming a increasingly used treatment.
HCQ has no effect on Lyme, brucellosis, Babessa or mycoplasma fermentins incognetus or hookworm, all parts of Lyme complex.
And Trump never said HCQ treated Lyme.
If it is Lyme disease, you need a specific Lyme disease doctor. There are several in the country. Find one near you. NOW.
Friend was diagnosed with MS and told she maybe had several years before she was to the point where she would need help with everything. She refused that diagnosis, did some research and saw that some people diagnosed with MS really had LD. So she went to a Lyme Disease dr (in OH, I think) and after much testing, finally got a diagnosis of Lyme Disease. 6 weeks of antibiotics and all of her severe MS symptoms were completely reversed.
Get it treated ASAP and stick with the treatment.
“I know that there was a highly effective vaccine against Lyme disease which was withdrawn because the shrill anti-vaxers screamed and screeched so loud that the manufacturer said “f*** this sh**” and stopped marketing it.”
Wrong, it was taken off the market after two years because it gave children irreversible Lyme arthritis.
You are scaring me with your posts.
I will have nightmares tonight.
I’ve been bitten several times by ticks. The most recent was last summer. I got the round rash which spread to three inches in circumference on my shoulder. It felt hot to the touch. When I went to the urgent care center at my hospital, I got a nitwit doctor who pooh poohed the whole thing because I didn’t still have the tick stuck in my arm. Two days later I had a fever of 102. It lasted two days. The doctor had given me 10 days of doxycycline. A friend who didn’t have the rash but had typical Lyme symptoms was given 21 days of doxycycline because the doctor who treated him just assumed Lyme because we live in a Lyme disease hotspot. Same hospital, different treatments based on which doctor you saw. I don’t think the typical GP knows anything about this disease. The treatments vary and nobody seems to know in my local area how to successfully treat the disease. They actually go online here to find treatment suggestions.
I got the blood tests two weeks later which showed positive for Lyme disease on two of five bands. My GP was skeptical that I had Lyme. I wasn’t tested when I got the earlier tick bites, and, in one case only got 1 antibiotic pill to take. I’ve had severely aching muscles and joints, brain fog and memory issues ever since, which can be long term effects of untreated Lyme. Get the blood tests and don’t let anybody minimize your symptoms.
I’m of the opinion that it may be a snake oil thing, but the jury’s still out. Until then the science is sound on it not being viable in this use:

So there are two Herbs that actually work against this spyrochete. The first is cryptolepis extract, the second is sida acuta extract. Both available at amazon.
Doctors who specialize in Lyme treatment prescribe that a patient take BOTH extracts at the same time to prevent development of a drug resistant strain.
The prescription is for 90 days, the life cycle of the spirocete bacteria. As the bacteria attacks body organs symptoms widly vary depending on the organ under attack.
Like Malaria, another spirocete disease Lyme is extremely difficult to overcome, delayed reinfections are common. Often months or years after the original infection.
If your Lyme symptoms include a skipping heart beat YOU NEED TO SEE A LYME SPECIALIST IMMEDIATELY. Permanent heart damage is taking place. This syndrome is called Lyme Cardita.
A key herb to help fight Lyme is Tumeric, Lyme Lyme spirocetes feed by causing a runaway inflammation effect causing the body to breakdown it's own cell structure releasing collagen, which Lyme feeds upon. Tumeric is a very effective anti inflammatory agent.
Co-irker was mis-diagnosed with numerous things until someone finally decided to look for Lyme’s. He was told he was maybe a year from being wheel chair bound.
He is mostly healed but still has lingering side-effects.
Round worm often is part of a Lyme infection, and the Lyme spirocetes are protected from antibiotics when they are inside the worms.
First get rid of the worms, then the antibiotics will do their thing properly.
I suggest this book: Bitten by Kris Newby
The real nightmare is when you go through thousands of dollars and a long chain of doctors that cant help as you get slowly get worse.
Knowing a path to health is a ray of sunshine on a gloomy day.
Beware. Docs will tell you different stories. Often they acknowledge that all the tests are unreliable, but often ready to dismiss you on any one they pick being “negative”. Supposedly there were at least 3 tests that all should be done, yet all are unreliable.
Old Lyme, thank you very much!
