How IV Therapies Turned My Lyme Disease Battle into a Journey of Healing

When I was diagnosed with Lyme disease, I was caught off guard. The symptoms crept in slowly at first—fatigue, joint pain, and brain fog. It felt like a storm I couldn't escape. As part of my treatment plan, my doctor recommended IV therapy. She told me due to Lyme, I would need specialty IV's tailored to meet my specific needs.

I am blessed to have a good friend that owns her own hydration mobile business and is local to where we live...when I discussed my diagnosis with her, she was on-board and wanted to help in anyway she could. She has become a member of my healthcare team and works hand in hand with my integrative doctor.

When I began IV therapy, I was having it done twice per week. My doctor ordered high dose Glutathione once per week and high dose vitamins once per week. What followed has been a transformative journey that not only helped alleviate my symptoms but also helped me regain control over my health. In this post, I will share how glutathione drips and nutritional IVs loaded with vitamins have played a crucial role in my fight against Lyme disease. I also recently tried the new innovative PICO IV which was recommended by my doctor. I will dive into that as well and how I am feeling so far.

Discovering the Power of IV Therapies: Glutathione

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that helps the body remove toxins and combat oxidative stress. Anyone battling Lyme knows how important it is to detox your body daily and even though I use different methods of detoxing...Glutathione has become one of favorites. Glutathione in combination with an infrared sauna has been huge for me in my healing journey.

After just a few sessions of glutathione drips, I noticed a significant boost in my energy and a marked decrease in other symptoms. This increase in energy translated into more productive days, as I could finally focus on tasks that seemed overwhelming before.

Nutritional IV Therapy: Boosting My Immune System

Nutritional IV therapy has also become instrumental in my battle with Lyme disease. This type of IV consist of directly infusing vitamins and minerals into the bloodstream, bypassing any absorption issues associated with the digestive system. For someone like me who faces nutrient deficiencies due to Lyme, replenishing my body’s vitamins has become a high priority.

I began regular treatments that included high doses of vitamin C, B vitamins, and magnesium. After a month of sessions, the results were promising. I felt revitalized! Each infusion acted like a reset button, giving my body exactly what it needed to function properly. I have been doing these infusions since July 2024, and have made great improvement to where I only get these once per month now.

Enter PICO IV: The Newest Innovation

While continuing my IV therapy journey, my doctor highly recommended me try PICO IV therapy. This innovative treatment is relatively new and may be controversial for some, so before deciding to try it...please consult with your physician and do your research.

A PICO IV is a picometer of sterile CBD. In order for CBD to be safely administered directly into the bloodstream, the particle size has to be a picometer and goes through a sterilization process. Designed to optimize the absorption and utilization of CBD, it seemed like the perfect solution for my Lyme symptoms. With the recommendation of my doctor and cautious optimism, I scheduled a session. As the infusion flowed, I was nervous but then felt an immediate calm come over me. This particular type of therapy is supposed to help with inflammation and calm the CNS.

My PICO IV was also followed up by a 250ml bag of fluids to help with hydration. It's very important to stay hydrated during any type of Lyme treatment but with this particular IV it's crucial to maintain good hydration. To learn more about a PICO IV, here is the website...

The Ongoing Journey and Future Hope

I have faced numerous challenges, including setbacks and herxheimer reactions (temporary worsening of symptoms), but integrating IV therapies has helped me build resilience. These treatments empowered me with tools to combat what often felt overwhelming.

As I continue on this journey, I reflect on how far I’ve come since Lyme disease felt like an inescapable cage. Although challenges remain, my experience with IV therapies has instilled a renewed sense of hope.

Staying informed and finding skilled practitioners who understand Lyme disease’s complexities is essential. I encourage anyone dealing with Lyme or similar chronic illnesses to explore IV therapy options. This might just shift your perspective from enduring your condition to actively engaging in your healing journey.

A Path Toward Healing

Ultimately, my experience with IV therapies has led me not just towards healing but also deeper self-understanding. I’ve gained valuable insights into my health and a recognition of the body's inherent ability to heal when given the right support.

I share my story not as a definitive solution but as an encouragement for others who feel lost in their struggle with Lyme disease. A world of possibilities awaits, and exploring alternative therapies can brighten your path to recovery.

If you feel stuck in your journey, consider including IV therapies in your holistic treatment approach. The healing journey is yours to shape, and every step you take brings you closer to reclaiming your life. Happy healing!!
