    I have had bad symptoms for 6 months, just starting treatment soon. Very scary. Any others know about this?

    There are a whole list of herbal treatments in one interview on www.thebestdayever.com if you join and get a membership there... It was too big of a program for me to remember the whole thing, otherwise I would tell you here but I really don't know much about Lymes.

    sorry I didn't realize that you had said you're starting treatment soon, and already knew you had it, so you can disregard some of the things I mentioned.

    Good luck, I hope it goes well for you.
    BTW, what kind of treatment are you going to be using?



    My mother has Lyme Disease...

    Yes, it's something to take care of immediately if you have it, and it's serious, but don't listen to the whole "bye bye down the road of real misery" crap... Treatment is usually very successful, and you can live a normal life expectancy.

    The disease, if not treated immediately, can live dormant in your body for years after, and you can have relapses where you feel generally ill, but that does not mean it has come back, or that you're still sick with it.

    From what I understand, in the early stages, it is typically treated with a strict antibiotic plan. If you catch it later, like my mom did, sometimes it's necessary to utilize an IV and all.

    Problem with Lyme disease is, it's very difficult to detect, especially if you have been on antibiotics in the past few months/year...

    Also, I wouldn't self-diagnose if I were you either... many symptoms of Lyme disease are very, very general, and it could be various other reasons. What symptoms, exactly, are you experiencing?

    If you've ever had a bulls-eye rash, or remembering being bitten by a tick, I would go to the doctor and talk with them about the possibility... if not, I would still go to t he doctor and discuss your symptoms with them, and see what they say.

    Lyme Disease is funny... everyone experiences it differently...some can literally live with it their entire lives, and never know they have it, and others experience very very life-interfering symptoms, and very rarely, it's fatal.
    It's also weird, because it can mock Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, MS, Lupus, or other systemic diseases like that.

    Good luck, PM me if you have any more questions... I had to go through lot with my mother to find out what she had, and then the treatment for it.

    Oh, before I close, I also want to point out that, if it is not treated immediately, there are some life-long problems that can remain, arthritis being the biggest threat.

    Peace and love.
