Dont want to jinx it but...

Im feeling good! I think this is the longest Ive had without a flareup! *knock on wood* I upped my Protandim to twice a day since I have a few bottles still that came with my autoship when I signed up and it so instead of about every 5-6 wks Ive now been a little over 2 months without a serious flare. I did have some pretty bad hip/lower back pain a 2 wks ago but I think it was from a Pilates class I took because it wasn't the crazy-drive-your-head-through-a-wall pain that usually comes. Met a lady at last nights Lifevantage meeting that's been taking it for 3 months now and she had been in quite a few car accidents rendering her in constan pain, and having to use a wheelchair. She started on it, graduated to a cane and last night she walked about freely, albeit it slowly... I have no doubt if I hadn't started this last year I'd be like all the other chronic lymies- bedbound for days every couple of weeks... I was heading that way... I think I'll stay on the 2-a-day for awhile. It's working so far. Maybe I'll go into remission like some of the lymies that have used antibiotics for years? I don't want to have to go that route and even though all the lyme forums are trying to push for longterm antibiotic use to treat us, I don't think that's a good idea AND I haven't read where any of them have come OFF, the ones that can afford it after insurance stops paying have all been doing it YEARS and have PICC lines in. Im sorry but it seems like they are beating a dead horse and destroying their immune systems worse then what we already have. Im hoping that since it seems to be working on me, more of us will get on it and have a solution that more people can afford and not kill off their cells in the process.
