Die-off Side Effects
I woke up a couple of days ago feeling awful. I am not sure if I have been pushing myself to do too much or if I am feeling the effects of the Lyme bacteria dying inside my body. When the bacteria die, they release toxins. The toxins can make us sick. The most prominent symptom that I am experiencing is fatigue. I also had a temperature of 100 yesterday. The book that I am reading about Lyme disease, "Coping with Lyme Disease" by Denise Lang, states that fever can be a symptom of the release of toxins. I have also noticed a marked increase in my klutziness. My cereal bowl flew out of my hand the other day. It was so ridiculous that I started laughing uncontrollably. Sometimes my fiance will witness me drop an object in a strange way and all we can do is laugh. This increase in my symptoms must be a die-off reaction but there is no way for me to know for sure. I hope that it is a die-off reaction that I am experiencing because that would mean that the antibiotics and the antiparasite medication that I am taking are doing their job=)

A doctor told me that once you no longer have the lyme in your blood that you are cured. I think it's a lot of bunk. I no longer am testing positive but I certainly still do have slight headaches and a swollen knee due to lyme arthritis that is present with me everyday. I am also very fatigued. I am trying the salt/c protocol and hoping it will work, although I tried it months ago and I still have the lingering lyme symptoms.
