I wanted to start a thread whereby anyone dealing with a chronic illness could share what works, what they have done, not done etc.
I am doing this because I am fearing my Lyme disease may be coming back. You can cure it, but tis tough and the longer you've had it the harder it is. No idea when I was infected, but diagnosed last spring/summer. Thanks to raw, I have had virtually NO symptoms for the better part of the last year. However, over the last 3 mo I have noticed(and tried to ignore) that my cyclical symptoms are back. I have been raw, sleeping well, hydrated, green smoothie-ing, and running about 30-35 miles a week. This week has been the worst 'cycle' yet. I am calling my doc to have her run some bloodwork before I start my arsenault of herbs for Lyme, but in the mean time...what do you all do that woks for any chronic illnesses you face?
Also...how do you deal with the fact that you are not having that sunshiney bubbly endless energy that all the other raw foodies have? :(
