I take a lot of pills daily. Some of you will be shocked at how much I have to take just to keep going. Having to take supplements among doing some other things like eating healthy and not pushing yourself to hard is one huge reason why Lyme changes your life so much. It makes you completely rearrange your. You can’t miss to many doses of supplements or you have to joy of starting over or herxing. So if you go somewhere you do the best you can at taking as many as possible with you but there are so many that it’s nearly impossible...and traveling...we won’t talk about that yet! Ok so this is what I take once a day. Sorry for the very messy counter.
I will try and go over everything with you and why.
Vitamin C I take 2,000 mg, vitamin D (not in this picture) I take Kirkland brand 2,000iu, stomach enzymes (also not in this picture) my stomach is really messed up. It always has been very sensitive since I was little but is even more so now. I have gastroparisis so I take as many supplements as I can to help my belly. Iron that is easy to digest and not hard in my belly, Fish oil and I think it’s important to get a more expensive brand of fish oil it really plays a big part in supporting our bodies. Ashawaganda root it’s a good supporting herb that helps with anxiety and is a great immune modulator, chase tree to balance hormones although I don’t know how much longer I’m going to take it. One thing it does help with us regulating your monthly cycle. Probiotics for my stomach. I get a ton of naseua and some weeks are worse than others, on these weeks I will take a few probiotics throughout the day. They also aid in digestion as do the stomach enzymes. Acyclovir for an out of control Epstein Bar infection. My dr said I will take this for three years. Reglen also for my stomach and naseua. Lexepro for anxiety and mild depression, coq10 for my heart and is such a potent antioxidant. Methyl B-12 the reason I take this instead of regular B-12 is because my dr is suspecting methylation problems and so he wants me on this until I get the blood work done. DHEA because I had low levels of something or another that effects my adrenal glands. Kelp helps with detox and high in iodine. L-Tryptophan I take this for numerous reasons. If your dealing with Any kind of chronic pain it would be a good idea to do a search on this supplement it’s good for so many things.
So this is everything I take once a day. Usually at night. I also have a whole slew of tinctures and supplements I take 3x a day. The ones above I call my supporters and the ones I will blog about tomorrow I call my fighters. Also another important thing to remember is if it’s Lyme you are dealing with you have to remember that it’s a very stealthy bacteria. It’s smart so you have to be smarter and constantly change up your treatment regimen. I just changed from doxycycline for a year which didn’t seem like it was doing much to an herbal tincture (mixture) that I take only one drop of and it kicks my but. I hope there is someone out there that this will help and remember there is always hope and everyday God’s mercies are new!!!!
