11 Things That Can Make a Person With Lyme Disease Feel Worse Besides Treatment

It's a given that treatment for Lyme Disease itself can actually make a person feel worse than what they've been feeling physically and mentally from the disease itself. To shortly recap, whenever a spirochete is killed, whether it be by the immune system or some type of antibiotic, endotoxins are released from its cell wall and flood the body causing a temporary worsening of symptoms called a herxheimer reaction.

Unfortunately, since Lyme Disease is a biological hijacking (i.e., nearly every part of the human body can be affected), the chemistry of the body changes. The body develops new requirements, intolerances, and reactions to environments and substances that normally didn't bother or disrupt the physiology of the body before obtaining the Lyme bacteria. These newfound intolerances and triggers can actually make a person with Lyme feel just as bad as they do during a herxheimer reaction, if not worse. And experiencing one of these triggers or intolerances at the same time as a herxheimer reaction can be the difference between having a bad day, and a really bad day.

So if you as a person can't avoid herxheimer reactions entirely, which isn't easy, the least you can do to make your physiology relatively tolerable is to be conscious of what exactly causes you to feel worse, aside from a herxheimer reaction, and to take the extra steps to avoid it. Here are a few of the most common intolerances and triggers people with Lyme Disease develop that can make them feel just as bad, if not worse, than their treatment for Lyme.
