Been back on the good old Samento and Banderol (herbal antibiotics) for a week now. I've got up to 5 drops a day of each and I'm permanently nauseous. The treatment protocol suggested by Dr Marty Ross a leading authority in Lyme treatment suggests starting at 10 drops of each TWICE a day and I can't even tolerate one quarter of this. Presumably all this is a giant herx which rather points to there being a lot of Borrelia coursing round my system again.
I've started now as I have 5 weeks between craft shows so I don't have to work outside the house, however I would like to do some work indoors, out of the last 7 days I have achieved the equivalent about 2 days, not good. The rest of the time I am laid low with a permanent headache, fever, nausea, a rash, muscle pain and palpitations. Not good.
I'm going to persevere though as I'm sure if I can zap a few more of those pesky spirochaetes my overall health should improve and maybe my legs will start to work normally again. At the moment they are firmly switched off, the brain is willing but it's like the power supply just died. I've got an appointment with the NHS rheumatologist in a couple of weeks, wonder what he will have to say about the old legs. Usually its a case of 'oh well try and get some exercise,' he hasn't quite grasped that I am trying and I fail every time! Maybe I should start talking nerve damage and see what he suggests then. Meanwhile I'm just hoping I have the oomph to actually get to the appointment.
