whyLyme

Thank you for your responses. I thought i was seriously going insane with this disconnected-ness... Im taking fish oil daily and the 1st month of the cowden protocol includes the brain-cleanse. I just feel like drinking the whole bottle and hopefully this bubble around my head just bursts.. I know this whole treatment will take time but because there is no light at the end of the tunnel it is very overwhemling and self frustrating. Im on day 5 for the cowden treatment.. any herx or improvement I'll let you know.

I would love to hear how it goes! Same story here - we don't have lyme in Canada either - ha ha. Apparently the ticks don't have passports so they have to turn around at the border. It boggles my mind that people who are intelligent enough to become doctors don't stop and think about some of these things. We also had to send our blood to the U.S. and go to a U.S. doctor. Best of luck on Cowden and we're excited to hear about it! Hey momcap & S&S, How long have you had Lyme for? Have you made ANY improvement? I just seem to be going up and down every few days. I keeping dragging myself to work as i need to pay a mortgage but i can really only manage 4 hours then i become so stressed because i cant perform at my normal mental capacity. Are you also really spaced out in the head/foggy etc etc?? Somedays i forget the most simpliest task im doing... like putting milk in my tea, I take it out of the fridge then wonder off holding it. I cant think clearly and its like im not on the planet. I get soooo frustrated with myself.. Are you the same??

I have finally received the 1st month of the Cowden Support Program, I am starting today and will let you know how it goes from here on. Fingers crossed!!

Hello all, I live in Australia and our health authorities do not beleive Lyme disease is in the country.. It took me 15 months for a diagnosis as (1)only (1) doctor here in Perth beleives the disease is in Australia. I went to multiple doctors before hand and diagnosed with CFS etc etc... pretty much the same story as everyone else I would assume. It really is frustrating that Lyme disease is not recognised in Australia as I had to send my blood to the States (at a huge cost) for proper testing, finally with a result of Lyme, Babesia and Bartonella. Im currently taking oral antibiotics (Trimethoprim 300mg 2/day & Azithromycin 500mg 1/day) and then taking Tinidazole 500mg 4 in 1 day at the end of each month. I started the antibiotic treatment in June with not much herx, but how the ###### can I tell what is a herx reaction when I feel like crap most days. Anyway, I have ordered the cowden support program (1st month) a few weeks ago so fingers crossed it should be here within this week. I will keep you posted when I start the additional cowden protocol and I'll report how it goes. F@#K Lyme......
