scared... help..

I have good news, you're going to live

You have a better change of winning the lottery than dying from lyme.
The symptoms and the side effects from the abx are very frightening. I think what you're feeling now is major anxiety due to all the stress from this.

Are you on a good detox program with the abx? Do you have a good support system? If the dr that's treating you an LLMD?

Hezzers, no one even knows yet how that person died.

If she did die from lyme, then she either had a very compromised immune system or something more sinister.
I heard of cases of people dying from simple herpes simplex 1. Why, because their immune systems failed

You cannot live in fear of every little thing.

Try to incorp. some relaxation into your detox program. Abx play on the mind so keep up with a very goof detox.

hezzer..keep faith that you're going to be ok. i developed an intense case of disseminated lyme that came on pretty quickly about 14 months ago and it took nearly 3 months to get on abx prescribed by a naturopath. i had anxiety and panic attacks, severe fatigue, severe muscle aches, neck pain, sweats, cognitive problems, numbness, lightheadedness, sensitivity to noise, weakness and heart palpitations. i did 6 weeks of doxy and then relapsed after a month. after the relapse, i was tested for coinfections and i was dx with babesia. i started working with a good llmd 7 months ago to treat the babesia and lyme and just completed 7 months of aggressive oral abx and antimalarial tx for babesia. i think i'm ok!!!
today i had an appointment with my llmd and we decided that i will stop abx and just do a limited cowden protocol which is samento, cumanda and parsley. this is because i've been feeling progressively better over the last 2 months and i finally can say i feel as good as before i got lyme. we'll watch it and if i relapse, i'll go back on abx, but i'm so much better! it seems like you're getting care from a good llmd and that's key- at least it was for me. i thought i was going to have a chronic condition. i'm feeling positive that there is life beyond lyme. at 24, you have a whole life ahead.....
