damn near killing me.

Tick would have had to be the size of a poppy seed.

Beware small nasty things.

ankles, shoulders, knees, even a pinky finger I broke about 12 years ago.

I am so not an outdoors person. No clue where the tick came from. Little demonic thing.

I had a friend who got it when he was early 40s. He had never had an allergy and had smoked until he was 30. He became so allergic to cigarette smoke that he would have reactions if a smoker came into his office, just because of the residual on that person’s clothes.
Good thing was that his problems did abate after several years.

BTW: love your screen name and the song it references.

Can't even stand to think about drinking wine.

Weirdest thing. I did like my light sparkling wine very much.

My tick came from leaning on a tree for 5 minutes...

I have found colostrum and probiotics have helped my arthritis....I also am 60% gluten free which has helped a lot....

blew an obvious diagnosis and didn't order the tests until I went back weeks later with a rash covering my entire upper body and two freakishly swollen ankles.

My sister has two sons and she said nearly every boy in the neighborhood got Lyme this year Fortunately they got the bullseyes, which I didn't get or didn't see. It's unbelievable how little attention is being paid to this terrible disease.

The bacteria will not be able to get to your joints....

I am sorry for your suffering....

Ps...I forgot inulin, and yeast cleanse by soloray or now

Tryptophan or 5-HTP is also recommended for sleep regulation....

but should there come a time when conventional treatment for Lyme disease is not working for you and you’d like to get well, below are some suggested sites for information using alternative remedies. For all sorts of diseases, including cancer, I have used these and other alternative therapies for more than twenty years on me, my friends, all kinds of animals, especially my horses and dogs.

I don’t have enough posts to DM you, otherwise I'd go into more treatment detail.
