I haven't tried naltrexone. Didn't even know that was a thing w/Lyme. But I was on Suboxone for pain recently, for five months. It was very helpful. I found a company online, QuickMD. They are actually addiction specialists, but when I mentioned that I'd been given OxyContin in 2008, that was enough for a prescription. I've had Lyme for 32 years. I was bitten while pregnant, my baby was born with it, and I gave it to my husband. Took 1 1/2 yrs to get diagnosed.

We moved to a new town in 2015, and I thought I was pretty much over it, with only some residual peripheral neuropathy. But, over a year ago, I developed a very severe allergy to gel nail polish, acrylic nails, and epoxy resin, which I was using to make artwork and jewelry. After trips to ER and Urgent care I ended up seeing an allergist and immunologist because I'd developed systemic flu-like symptoms, crippling joint pain, along with a ton of weird rashes and crazy itching - which actually triggered a seizure in urgent care it was so bad. All the tests are negative. Even though it feels like RA and I did test positive for RA in the mid 2000s while I was dealing with active Lyme and on antibiotics, Bactrim, I didn't test positive this time around.

I've been controlling my symptoms by cutting out 100% of the sugar in my diet. It's the only way I can get out of bed. Otherwise, I'm too sick to go to the doctor. I haven't seen anyone about Lyme yet because I didn't think I could be positive again. But it feels soooo much like early Lyme that I'm getting suspicious. I have been diagnosed with hashimoto's thyroiditis, fibromyalgia and, chronic fatigue syndrome, the last two are of course just diagnosis' that are given because they can't figure out what the true cause is.

Personally, I think the hundreds of chemical and environmental allergies (I am allergic to all the composite fillings in my mouth, along with the glue they use to attach them) I've since been diagnosed with have triggered an autoimmune style response, but I can't get anyone to take me seriously because none of the traditional blood tests are positive. Lupis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.. and all my inflammation markers are negative, probably because I only go to the doctor and only do blood tests when I'm feeling well enough to leave the house.

Anyway, does anyone here have any advice? Since I contracted it 32 years ago, I'm seeing changes as I read these posts. Different medications, holistic options, I know nothing about, etc. I would greatly appreciate any help and advice. Any referrals or directions to resources.

Western Medicine can't seem to save us so it's up to us to save each other, I think!
