Lyme disease is a very problematic condition once you are infected. Not only is the diagnosis very difficult, and there are not really a very good standardization of testing that is absolute, but the recovery is even more challenging.
This is Dr. Lam, from DrLam.com.
Now, I want to talk to you a little bit about how adrenal fatigue and lyme plays together with each other. Often times I will see many people come in with lyme disease and a long history of being on antibiotics and trying to get better. But despite the most aggressive and the most well intentioned doctors to cure the lyme, the lyme never quite goes away. Oftentimes even though there may be temporary improvement, and the acute Lyme is resolved, the body is in a state of disrepair. It is almost like the body is not happy, and the body is always undergoing a slow grade, toxic attack by underlying infections that nobody can put their finger on.
This type of chronic or subclinical lyme is very difficult to deal with, and the reason is because they continue to secrete toxins even though their titers are not very high. So the conventional approach that thinks, well, medicine is given, the titer has gone down, so the person is cured; but in reality is that it's not 100%, and if you are young, you are fine, but usually with age as the person gets older these types of chronic symptoms oftentimes kind of resurge and continues to be present.
By wearing the body out with the toxin it contributes a lot to adrenal fatigue, leading to adrenal gland that is very weak and unable to produce the cortisol necessary to fend off the inflammation response caused by the lyme disease.
So, understanding this concept is very important because lyme disease can be seen as an underlying symptom of adrenal fatigue. Now, what you do with it is a different matter, because, as I said earlier, aggressive lyme treatment by the time it gets to a chronic situation usually does not work, so you have to switch gears and allow the body to fight its own battle, and there are ways to do that; but first is to understand that aggressive lyme treatment when it gets to a chronic stage usually does not produce a lot of good results. In fact, it can produce a lot of collateral damage, leading to adrenal crashes and retoxification reactions, and can make the body much weaker than it is when it was first started.
So, you have to be very careful when there is history of lyme disease present, and you have to be recognizing this as a possible symptom of contributing factors to adrenal fatigue.
