Some Lyme doctors say that people with Lyme disease shouldn’t exercise aerobically.  I disagree.  I think that we should work up to an intense burn.  Spirochetes don’t like oxygen and working out aerobically provides oxygen to the tissues.  I think that the increased oxygen and the elevated body temperature actually kills spirochetes.

Don’t overdo it.  I can only work out hard every other day.  The other day I do stretches and situps and jump on the mini tramp to keep my body moving.

Here is what I’ve been doing.  I’m a runner and run several times a week.  I still need several naps per day and have a lot of pain (as of the end of 2010), but I’m still trying!
