The last time I posted here I was dealing with anxiety and frequent panic attacks. I recently tested positive for Lyme disease and some co-infections, and I'm convinced it is responsible for those symptoms I was experiencing (just in case anyone remembers those posts). I was wondering if anyone has some tips and advice for getting through Lyme disease. I'm seeing an alternative health doctor but I don't really feel like I'm doing enough, nor do I necessarily agree with all the treatments. It's difficult to inhabit this grey area, but I feel like with some more direction and knowledge of the possibilities, I'll be on a much better path.
At the moment I'm taking a thyroid supplement, vitamin D, resveratrol (I know), and some herbal stuff commonly used to treat Lyme disease. I also have a supplement for methylation but it has a ton of b6 and I thought I remember reading it can cause nerve damage in high amounts. So I haven't taken much.
If I recommend particular treatments to my doctor, I think he's open to it. He trusts my judgment to a degree and I'm prepared to make a detailed case for anything. Unfortunately I don't think minocycline or tetracyclines are among those because he may not have the ability to prescribe them. Sharing any thoughts or experiences is appreciated. Thank you!
