Lyme Just Diagnosed. 12 Years of Raging Sleep Problems Posted: 07-16-06 00:45am
Help! I was just diagnosed with lyme
disease. I've probably had this for at
least 14 years. My symptoms started 12
years ago and I went through tons of
misdiagnoses. I have had sleep problems
for 12 years but they have been especially
bad for the last 2 years. I am 26 years
old and totall debilitated by this.
Anyone know of anything that actually
works for lyme sleep difficulties? To
give you an idea of the problem -- I did a
sleep lab last year and I slept 4 hours
and had 56 awakenings in those 4 hours.
Any help would be much appreciated (and
desperately needed).
Thanks!

Lymie, that sounds rough. I was just
reading about someone having some dreaming
issues and was reading this www.Lucid-dreaming-kit.Com
site that linked to another site I
saw that might help you. They guarantee
it works for sleeping troubles or your
dough back, maybe it's worth a shot. Good
luck man... Www.Sleep-deprivation-cd.C

Sleep For Lymie.... Posted: 10-09-06 15:19pm
Sleep is very disrupted for those
suffering lyme. You might need adrenal
support to help you stay asleep. Standard
process-drenamin half an hour before
bedtime could help. Standard process
should be available at a chiropractors,
health professionals office. Also a-c
carbimide from standard process helps with
sleep problems. Systemic formulas n3
relaxa does wonders for sleep problems
even weening those that are dependent on
sleep aids and tranqs off of them. In
general as you kill the bugs and detox
from the neurotoxins that they produce you
body will find it easier to sleep. Cats
claw will help eliminate the bug in you
central nervous system also allowing you
body/mind more peace which allows normal
sleep.
Best of luck
let me know if there is anything else?

How Did You Get Your Lyme Diagnosis? Posted: 11-16-06 14:51pm
Can I ask you how they arrived at their
diagnosis of lyme disease? Blood tests?
I'm struggling with a mass of horrible
symptoms, and although a couple of
respected docs have suggested lyme, no-one
has followed up on it. And they've now
given up on me.
I also have disturbed sleep... Although
it's a bit better now than it was in the
summer (when I would wake every 45 min,
feeling like i'd been asleep for about
four hours. Utter torture, 8 hours in bed
would feel like a week).
I also have continuous nightmares the
whole time I am asleep - if I nod off for
30 minutes i'll have a nightmare! And
wake up with hearing loss.
I seemed to turn a bit of a corner with
the sleep problems since I started heavy
metal chelation with alpha lipoic acid. I
know, it sounds crazy...

This is a lot to check into but I
guarantee it will be worth the time you
spend. Knowledge is power and when it
comes to Lyme disease you can never have
enough knowledge as far as I'm concerned.
By the time I was diagnosed I had full
facial paralysis. I had no choice but to
take the 1 month supply of aggressive
antibiotics that I was prescribed.
If you are having sleep disturbances
associated with Lyme disease you most
likely suffer from a problem with candida
as well. Most of the treatments for Lyme
cause a candida overgrowth. 2 good sites
for this are www.candidafree.com
and www.wholeapproach.com
check out the questionaires and the food
lists.
Also, it may be beneficial to check into
EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique at www.emofree.com, watch
the introduction video.
My chiropractor started me on Drenamin and
L-Lysine. Additional Lyme research I have
done indicates that meats are very bad for
Lyme disease sufferers, basically you
might want to try going vegan at least
until your immune system is built back up.
Boost your immune system anyway you can.
I went out and bought a Power Juicer. It
did cost me about $100, but I juice
everyday, and a minimum of 5 fresh fruits
and vegetables a day. I hope this
helps.
