25th & 26th Treatment

I asked for the bigger treatments this time instead of the mineral bags I got the last three times and I definitely herxed. I talked to one of the staff about my stomach and a lot of patients and I think I may see a GI specialist. I think there is a possibility I could have a hiatal hernia. I'll have to wait until I can afford to go, though. Things have gotten a little better after treatments and taking some health days for myself. Yesterday I sat outside in the sun and probably should do that again today. I've been drinking greens and taking lypo c and my other supps and ALSO I have decided to go back on my liquid iron. I really do think if I can get my stomach under control now too then I will do much better. I was at 15-20% health but yesterday was 40% and today is 35% so far.

Regression

I am doing horribly. I was up til 2am with breathing problems and burning stomach. I don't know if it was gastritis or a panic attack. My heart beat feels like someone else's. I'm afraid to get out of bed because of my heart and the dizziness. I'm so confused and my body temperature is violently fluctuating. I keep feeling that sick gasp feeling in my body when I am terrified of something. It's happening over and over. I took a ginger bath last night but I don't think it did anything. I don't even notice my pain because my head and heart and lungs and stomach torment are masking it. I need to visit with the doctor on Monday and figure out what is happening to me! I pray this is low iron and vitamin d related. I know I have malabsorption issues too but how do I fix that? I feel like so much more is going on besides the Lyme. I feel like my cells and brain need oxygen. I really need more help. This weakness is all consuming to the point of me being completely worthless. 

23rd & 24th Treatments

I started my iron pills and suddenly experienced horrendous regression. I am literally back to how I was. I am so dizzy, especially when I lay down. My symptoms are identical to BPPV. My period was 6 days late which was UNHEARD of! I can't think clearly. You know when you walk into a room and completely forgot what you were doing? About every two minutes I experience that. I had an anxiety attack at the clinic on Monday about my supplements. I had fallen asleep or passed out or something that day and could not function. The doc took half my supplements away. I still don't know why. I stopped the iron but I still have low ferritin and my red blood cells are still small. I just cried and cried. On Tuesday they gave me a niacin flush IV and oh my gosh! My skin turned into red blotches that felt like chemical burns from head to toe. I felt like I got punched in the stomach and had to shut my IV off. Luckily the torture was short lived and I spent the remainder of the morning visiting with an ALS patient. She makes me grateful to have Lyme. Anyway. There has been so much stress lately and life has not allowed me to be sick. Now I am getting sicker! I can learn to live with pain but I can't live with the dizziness and fatigue and complete and utter confusion and sensory overload. My heart and lungs and stomach have been doing horribly. I could barely harness enough energy to attempt to enjoy and be present for my little boy's first day of preschool. I want so badly to know what happened and why I am experiencing such horror when I am 24 treatments in and was pretty functional but now I can't do anything. This fatigue is completely new, too. I need to just take it easy and allow myself to be sick and be alone in a peaceful atmosphere. I need others to allow me the same. My mind and body feel like they're giving out and the Lyme has taken over. I don't know what needs to change.
