Current Medications and Supplements

Before I was diagnosed I was on medication for Fibromyalgia.  Lyrica and muscle relaxers helped for a few years but just with nerve pain.  I had my general practitioner take me off everything right around the time I took the blood test with the biologist.  It hit me hard at first and then it leveled out.  Just to keep up to date with what I'm taking currently I'm adding the list today and why I'm taking them.

I am currently taking:
1 vitamin E 400 I.U. 
2 Turmeric Curcumin 500 MG
2 claritin (ingredient found to kill lyme)
2 garlic 
2 coq10 200mg
2 Natures Sunshine LBS II
2 Nature's Sunshine Immune Stimulator 
6 Researched Nutritionals Soothe and Relax
1 Garden of Life Woman's probiotic refrigerated

Vitamin E - I have been taking it for a long time.  It helps with your heart and immune system.  

Turmeric Curcumin - helps with inflammation, I was on this for a little while before diagnosed to help with joint pain

Claritin - I started taking it right before diagnosed and stayed on it after because scientists have found that the main ingredient is killing lyme

Garlic - Dr. Renee just added this to help boost my immune system.  It also helps with blood pressure, cholesterol, may prevent alzheimers and dementia, detoxify against heavy metals, and can help your bones. 

CoQ10 - I've been taking it for a long time and Dr. Renee wanted me to double the dosage as it will help my joints.  Helps with circulation, heart, and cholesterol. 

Natures Sunshine LBS II - Dr. Renee added for chronic constipation problems.  I was taking magnesium but my body was rejecting it so I switched to this. 

Nature's Sunshine Immune Stimulator - added to boost immune system

Researched Nutritionals Soothe and Relax - added to help relax my muscles and helps with joints

Garden of Life Woman's probiotic - I was taking 9 a day and my body couldn't handle it so Dr. Renee brought me down to 1 a day.  Helps with healing your gut.  


Everything we are working on right now is to help my immune system and heal my gut so my body is strong and ready to fight off the lyme.
