15 - My lyme disease and rheumatoid arthritis journey - Hit a wall, stopped the antibiotics :-(

One more comment. I'm sure you have your reasons but do you know that steroids make lyme worse and it is generally agreed to avoid them if you have lyme. Many different RX drugs can be a toxic mixture and it's hard to know what is doing what, same thing with any number of many things taken at once. I was on RX ABs for about a year and half. They helped but then became ineffective and I made a plan to move onto other things... Hang in there. I know how hard it is! I was so very ill...!!

Are you able to see a healthcare practioner that

deals with natural treatments/remedies?

There are many natural antibiotics (ABs) that are very powerful. Bryan Rosner's book" The Top 10 Lyme Treatments" is a great book for this.

It is overwhelming and we are on our own, except for each other!

I have found that having a doctor that integrates allopathic/western and natural medicine has been extremely helpful. I am in the U.S.

Feel free to write.

I have found that Prevacid is better than Prilosec.

But it still requires dietary changes, and dealing with supporting the digestive system through various nutrition and supplements. If you want to find out more about what I have found helpful feel free to email you.

You might also consider a chiropractor/spinal adjustment,

for many reasons this can really be helpful.

I hope you feel better.

RX ABs are so very hard on the body. Have been down that road.
