Ozone Treatment For Lyme Disease Update & Initial Feedback: 9 Days In We Know A Little More...

8 days ago I posted about my wife commencing ozone therapy for her Lyme disease. I thought it would be good timing now to provide some initial comments after the first dose.

First the bad

The treatment was painful and, from what the nurse had to say about the typical patient reaction, more painful than the normal case. The most common outcome is fatigue rather than pain. The pain was local to the arm being injected and spread to that shoulder also. It didn't subside after the treatment either, growing stonger into what became a sleepless night for us both. The sensation was like a crush injury and it took a number of pain killers, heat packs, alcohol and sleeping pills (the only tools at our disposal for unbearable pain) to get on top if it enough to doze.

The limb became unusable for a number of days. Limp. That made every day tasks difficult as is understandable. After a few days this started to subside but not fully recover.

Now the not so bad

Note that I didn't say good. I know there's only been one done done so far with the next treatment booked in for next week. The schedule was originally to be for weekly treatment but the pain was so bad that this couldn't be doubled up on. I also think the other arm will need to be used next time just incidentally...

Anyway, I reckon that there's been an increase in activity level. I'm well accustomed to how my wife makes it through each day and I don't think I'm trying to find good in nothing when I say that she's doing things a little more energetically. At least I hope that's the case, it's subjective so it's error prone to asses.

I've noticed also a reduction in the frequency of headaches. Again, this is a qualitative assessment of my general understanding of how badly and how frequently they'd hit her previously.

We've also noticed an increase in thirst and water consumption which can't be a bad thing surely.

It's really early days but I'm happy to say that there's some evidence that the treatment has potential. We will know more the more ozone sessions that she has & I'll keep Steemit informed.

Thanks for your interest!
