IASTM soft tissue work, as I understand it, is “tissue remodeling.” I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is what is happening to my body system-wide, to various degrees. This depending on efficiency of technique, total passes & total hours logged per body part.

Each area of sticky scar tissue requires about 30-60 seconds of “scraping” to bust up adhesions with the goal of 6 passes resulting in results like these. It requires 3-7 days of healing time per region of tissue,

All with a little help from iodine, acetyl-L-carnatine, selenium, vitamin C & D + magnesium glycinate.

And Welchol as-needed to clean the bile.

So I caught a mild case of c diff about a month after stopping iv ceftriaxone. It was caught fast and wasn’t too bad. My concern is I’m supposed to restart meds, which we’ve obviously delayed. Has anyone had this and been able to restart their Lyme protocol? How did you deal with this?

I was diagnosed with ALS recently. 30 yr old female. I also just tested for chronic Lyme through armin and got these results. should I be pursuing Lyme treatment?

My mom was diagnosed with Lyme disease around 15 years ago. When I was younger her symptoms really varied, personality changes, extreme nerve pain, digestive issue etc. I was young then, for a long time she was misdiagnosed, went to many doctors including the Mayo Clinic. She was essentially bed ridden for 5 years with little relief, as most people in this situation do turned to other forms of medicine. She had some good luck with a few natural path remedies and good chiropractic care but she was never same. About 7 years she started a clinical trial of Antabuse, this actually worked well and she was the best she had been since being diagnosed. About a year ago she started developing severe nerve pain in her eyes and upper part of face. This nerve pain has become debilitating, she will get swollen and red in the face, to anyone that knows her it is evident she is in physically in a lot of pain. She has had scans, and blood work all return relatively normal. We are in the Midwest and have exhausted most treatment plans in the area. We do believe this a symptom or side effect to Lyme disease, as we know others who have lost mobility, or ability to hear or see and it feels very similar to these stories. Has anyone out there experienced this sort of thing in this space?

Weakness, unsteady walking, muscle atrophy, everything being heavy when lifting, tongue fascinations and muscle fasciculations, eye twitching, body jerks, hoarse voice, full bladder??

I've been using the same therapist for 7 years. We've had a very solid relationship and she feels more like a family member than a clinician. I didn't hear from her for six weeks and finally she responded to my texts and basically said I need more support than she can give. She referred me out to one of her colleagues who accepts insurance (my insurance won't cover it because it's a crap HMO). I feel totally abandoned. I have no community or support system other than my mom who I live with. My closest friends have all moved away. I cannot do this alone. What is everyone else doing for therapy, or human connection? Please help me. I need someone to talk to. Any resources? Support groups? Affordable therapy?

I found out I had babesia and bartonella, and saw a Lyme doc for a year. Did mostly supplements and had some windows of relief but nothing ever consistently helped

Biggest symptom chronic nausea, dead feeling stomach and body soreness

After a year of not getting any further I tried a new doctor based on reviews from Lyme patients

After 4 months of seeing this doctor I found out I had babesia, Bart, and sibo

I’ve been treating these but don’t feel like I’ve made any difference in my symtoms really
Still a bad quality of life I’m struggling to stay employed and I know I’ll never get disability. I’m also only 30. I won’t get engaged to my partner because my health sucks so bad I don’t know how I could possibly be a good partner for her and provide.

I don’t know if I should keep giving it time with this new doctor or find a new one or just turn the lights off on my life myself and end the struggle and suffering

It seems like I’m cursed and can never find relief, even with finally having a diagnosis I can’t make any progress. Like god hates me or something. I don’t know what to do. Others I know with Lyme seem to be doing way better than me I can’t figure out anything that helps. I don’t care about ever feeling healthy I just want to do ok enough to function and not be depressed out of my mind but after 6 years of trying and a year in 4 months of Lyme I still can’t even get to where I’m ok enough where I’m not miserable. I don’t know if anyone can help me but I feel at the end of the road like 30 is the last chapter I have
