Lyme recovery, post Germany

I have not been well the last few days. Flu like symptoms continue to come and go. The pain is severe in my shoulders, back, legs and arms the last 3 days. I am still having trouble sleeping. Laying down, standing, walking all seem uncomfortable. I am taking all my supplements including herbs and liver tea cleanse on a daily basis. I also sauna and do detox baths daily.  I added vitamin B12 injections as well. I have been resting and doing minimal activities so I don't quite understand why I am in so much pain and feel so tired. I guess my body is still fighting the toxins that have been released and are not exiting my body. I am trying to be patient but it is hard some days.

Post Germany update-2

It's Sunday, I have been home about 2 weeks now. Time sure is flying by. Not much new to update except the Herx reactions continue to drag me down. In addition to the increase in symptoms, I am not sleeping well yet.  I ordered a month of my supplements ($400 worth) and hope to receive them soon although I am not looking forward to taking all those pills throughout the day.  I will be starting my IV' s soon as my doctor has been on vacation. I am trying to stay positive and resting a lot. I am so fortunate to have a supportive husband to help with everything around the house(he does the grocery shopping)!

Post Germany update

I am home. I am so excited to see my family and friends. I am so excited to sleep in my own bed again with my husband. It has been a rough 3-4 days. I am having trouble sleeping in addition to an increase in symptoms. I have been having multiple sweats/chills episodes throughout the day and night. Flu like symptoms of severe headache and body aches, nausea, and uncontrolled pain in my entire body. This is most likely what they call a Herxheimer reaction. This is a reaction to the endotoxins released by the death of bacteria(Lyme spirochetes).  My body is reacting to not only the spirochetes dying and releasing toxins but also getting rid of the dead spirochetes.  I have some difficulty with detox so this may last awhile and I will feel worse before I get better.  It is discouraging but I am trying to stay positive. There are times when I "lose it" and break down from all the stress of the last 2 weeks and now dealing with this.  For some odd reason, I believed I may be one of the lucky ones that would feel better immediately after treatment. I have to be patient. It is really hard to do after all these years but I am trying.
