Craving bad things!

Among the list of accomodations to allow myself to take a road trip, one was reducing my medication dose for the lyme/bartonella. The medication induces herxing as it kills the lyme/bartonella. This means your symptoms get worse as the toxins leave your body. Reducing the meds allowed a reduction in symptoms. I was told I can occasionally do that and give my body a break. But for the most part, I must keep the dose higher in order to attack the lyme/bartonella.

Now that I'm back from my trip, I increased my dose back to where it needs to be. Yikes. The joint pain, stiffness, chills, headache, nausea and weakness have returned. However another symptom joined and this one is very concerning. This is going to sound odd but reading and talking with others who have lyme/bartonella I also find it's somewhat common.

Typically I not only eat very healthy but I actually enjoy eating healthy. I cut out sugar, gluten, dairy and processed foods as much as possible. Organic, non-gmo, vegetables and grass-fed/antibiotic-free meats is how I eat to feel the best I can. Carbs, sugar and cheese typically gross me out because I know the harm it causes my body.

These past few days I am insanely craving carbs and pizza but especially sweets. I am feeling extremely nauseated just thinking about salad or anything healthy. Even my normal go to food of burgers is grossing me out. I am forcing myself to eat. The healthiest thing I can tolerate right now is organic... baby food! Yes, baby food.

This may sound trivial but it's very concerning. It is so imperative that I eat healthy not only because of the lyme and bartonella but because of my other conditions also. Bad food makes me flare up badly. The lyme and bartonella cause this craving so they can take over. Obviously they don't like being killed off by the meds. Sugar/carbs will feed them and thus that's all my body wants me to eat right now.

So this is brief, but since its very concerning to me, I'm just asking for prayers about this. Please pray I can eat healthy again, because I need to. Please pray the lyme and bartonella leave my body and stay away and stop making me crave sweets and carbs. Please pray that I am healed. Thank you!
