Recent Lyme Infection

I was bitten on the top middle of my head on October 24, 2015. I did not see the bug. For the first four days I had a little swollen bite mark and a circular red rash but no other symptoms. Then the bite became an infected large cyst with a walnut sized knot, with a secondary red ring which looked like a bullseye. The bite site has been draining puss about every other day for two weeks. I have been experiencing increasing flu like symptoms, weakness, exhaustion, fatigue, loss of coordination, flashes of light in my peripheral vision, insomnia (less than four hours of restless sleep per night), leg cramps, night sweats, nausea, intestinal pain, confusion, disorientation, loss of memory, head and body aches, joint pain, and a shingles outbreak. I am experiencing sharp pains in my head, neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, and the length of my back. They all started quite suddenly about four days after the bite and have steadily become more severe. The pain is most pronounced in the areas I am using in my body movements, however my neck, shoulders, head, and lower back pain is constant. Initially I thought that these symptoms were due to the flu, but they are continuing to get more severe at an alarming rate. The MD prescribed a four week round of 100mg doxycycline twice daily for Lyme disease. He said that antibiotic therapy is the only treatment available and that it may take 6 months after the 4 week round of antibiotics before I feel better. I finished the treatment three weeks ago and have experienced only minimal improvement. I have researched available online resources and have begun taking herbal tinctures and supplements recommended for Lyme disease.

I would appreciate suggestions on how to treat these symptoms homeopathically.

Hi,

Please take Arsenicum Album 200C, 4 drops mixed in 2 sips of mineral water, 1 time a day, for 3 days.

No other remedies or supplements during the above course.

Also, get hold of Ledum Palustre 30C, for later use.

Many prayers for your good health.
