PEMF EDUCATION
My doctor recommended I buy a PEMF Sauna mat. I have used it for years and love it. The one I own is listed #2 here: https://www.riseabovelyme.com/ways-to-save "A PEMF machine is a device that sends pulsed electromagnetic fields into your body to stimulate cell activity, reduce pain, and accelerate healing. These devices range from full-body mats you lie on to handheld units you press against a sore knee, and they work by generating low-frequency electromagnetic pulses that


OXALATES
My Lyme doctor is urging me to focus on a low oxalate diet, and he wants me to take Magnesium Citrate (there are other options) one cap with each meal to reduce oxalates.

DEPERSONALIZATION and DEREALIZATION
"..those with chronic Lyme Disease that suffer from depersonalization and/or derealization are unable to make the connection between what depersonlization and/or derealization is by text book definition, and the reality that the perpetual psychological state they're in is in fact depersonlization and/or derealization." https://www.tiredoflyme.com/depersonalization-and-derealization-from-lyme-disease-and-its-coinfections.html "One common one in Lyme patients is derealization

Following a low FODMAP diet due to my issues made a huge difference. It wasn't easy and very overwhelming often. But when I mess up, I know immediately. So, I understand.

ZINC
We would like to point out that people shouldn't just blindly supplement with Zinc. It important to balance minerals and there's a lot of reasons behind it. So always get advice from your doctor on adding zinc and if so, how much. I was taught that too much Zinc can make you feel a certain way. It's interesting because I had to space out how often I took it because I was feeling bad. But when I adjusted Zinc, I improved. I put info on that at bottom. 25% off Zinc here. Search
