Aagghhh! Lyme Disease Is Really Interfering With My Daily Routine.



Recommended Posts

I was diagnosed with Lyme disease a few years ago. A month before my surgery, I had another round of it. Now, it's back again! The fatigue, joint aches, headache and pain is REALLY messing with my head. I know that being 57 pounds lighter, I would be feeling so much better without this going on. I get sick to my stomach too, so taking my medication and eating are becoming more difficult. I'm just so frustrated, I want it gone now! Thanks for listening

sorry you are having to deal with that.. I suffered horribly from Lyme disease for 8 years and it SUCKED!!!! what finally helped me was getting a PICC line place and my doctor ordered 2 grams of Rocephin (very strong antibiotic) every day.. it took 2 years of IV antibiotics everyday but we finally beat it. I had horrible neurological symptoms and could only walk with the help of a cane or walker for a couple years. I also had Bell's palsy for a long time and looked like I'd had a stroke. Basically Lyme disease stole my 20s. I am thrilled to say that it's been 7 years since I recovered from it and I haven't had any problems! I hope your doctors figure out how to help you!!!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
