Re: Thank you, Owen!

Dear Owen,

Its a pleasure! Glad you found it interesting. I have just had a very unusual chat with my sister, who has fibromaralga. I remember her having a tick bite whilst camping, 4 years ago. She was very ill afterwards with flu, and ending up in a wheelchair, unable to move her legs. After going on a strict vegan diet, taking supplements (including large doses of Vit. C), she has recovered enough to live a near normal life, but does get very tired quickly, and if she does too much, she gets ill again. Anyway, I thought at the time, Lymes Disease? and read up on it. She did have some of the symptoms, but not the face rash that is supposed to go with it, so we discounted it (foolishly). My sister had forgotten about that incident, but thinking back she realises that was when her illness started.

I have been reading quite extensively about Lymes, Cats Claw etc, and came across an interesting article about tick bite infections being passed on through childbirth (my father?) and lying dormant for years, only to appear at times of stress, illness or injury to the body (even childbirth). It was after my second child that I became ill, and after a tick bite with my sister.

Of course, this is all just heresay, but Cats Claw is recommended as an excellent anti-inflammatory, so I shall take it anyway, if only for that reason!

Best wishes,

Rose
