Lyme Recovery

I contracted Lyme disease in 2001 at which time I exhibited classic symptoms – recurring low-grade fever, stiff neck, night sweats, flu-like fatigue, anxiety and insomnia. My doctors dismissed my symptoms as stress-induced.

Many months later, I developed new symptoms: numbness and tingling in my hands and feet, aching joints and sensitivity to chemical smells, but had no idea that they were related to my earlier symptoms.

Eventually I became pregnant and my symptoms seemed to stop. In 2004, I weaned my daughter after a year of nursing – shortly afterwards the numbness and tingling, joint pain and chemical sensitivity returned, but I learned to live with it. In the summer of 2007 I traveled to South America and contracted parasites – which were treated with a strong antibiotic called flagyl. It killed the parasites, but reactivated my Lyme and this time it came back with a vengeance.

All of my above symptoms returned ten-fold – I slept up to 14 hours a night and was in a constant fog. I had difficulty understanding spoken language and my speech was slurred. My balance was affected – I would have to run my hand along the wall in order to walk without falling and my right leg would drag. I had an insatiable appetite and thirst – and though I ate ravenously, I lost 15 lbs. in two months.

I became intolerant of most foods and was in extreme gastric discomfort most of the time. Finally I was diagnosed with Lyme in December of 2008 and was placed on oral antibiotics for 5 months. The antibiotics worsened my gastric issues and led to awful herx symptoms. My previous symptoms improved gradually, but never entirely went away. When I stopped the antibiotics, I returned to my previous miserable state in a matter of weeks. Allimed got me functioning again – but without the stomach upset.

Outside of initial fatigue as I increased my dosage, I had no herx reactions. After a year of taking Allimed along with other vitamins and supplements to heal my immune system, my energy gradually increased, my balance was regained and my food intolerances resolved.

After two years, my energy levels are better than ever - I can run 5 miles nonstop and play field hockey twice a week. I’ve had to eliminate gluten and sugar from my diet but can otherwise eat most anything again and have gained back all the weight and muscle mass that I lost.

Though I have done many things to heal my body: detoxing, diet change, exercise, meditation, supplementation, acupuncture – I believe that the Allimed has been one of the greatest contributing factors to my returning health.
