Key To Coping With <strong>Lyme</strong> <strong>Disease</strong><br />
<strong>While</strong> suffering from <strong>Lyme</strong> <strong>Disease</strong> there are some major changes<br />
that take place in the body. Symptoms of the disease vary largely<br />
physical strain, pain in joint & muscles can limit the daily activities to<br />
quite a larger extent. Many people are unable to perform stretching,<br />
walking, and gentle swimming until you are well on the road to<br />
recovery.<br />
<strong>While</strong> there are many specialists who offer specifically tailored<br />
treatment plants that include physical therapy and Hyperbaric<br />
Oxygen Treatment for a better and faster recovery but the first step<br />
toward relieving physical stress in the disease is to avoid it.

Avoid Extremes Temperature

Risks of Extreme Temperatures In <strong>Lyme</strong><br />
People suffering from the disease often find their symptoms to<br />
worsen during hot weather conditions. It is always advised to avoid<br />
extremes of temperature. Extreme temperatures speed up the<br />
metabolism & in case if the patient is suffering from the effects of<br />
an unregulated immune system, the temperature is sure to worsen<br />
the situation.<br />
Whereas in extreme temperature the thyroid works hard to maintain<br />
normal body functions & in case if the patients endocrine system<br />
has been affected by <strong>Lyme</strong> disease cold weather conditions<br />
contribute to slowed cognitive function, fatigue and slows the<br />
metabolism.

schedule. Maintaining a schedule helps keep maintain a routine<br />
and maximize the body’s ability to digest food.<br />

illness. <strong>Lyme</strong> disease patients are also required to follow a strict<br />
diet regime in order to keep the symptoms at bay.

Maintaining A Sleep Schedule<br />
Another aspect that helps the patient keep mental stress<br />
at bay is to maintain a regular sleep schedule.<br />
Maintaining a sleep schedule can be quite problematic<br />
for those who are suffering from insomnia & face<br />
difficulty falling asleep while suffering from the chronic<br />
disorder.<br />
