Dear Stephen,
I have had lyme for 9 1/2 years. I’ve tried numerous things to treat it. This past year I started getting tremors in my hands and sometimes voice, and random muscle spasms and nerve firings. The most recent symptom, with no explanation, is muscle spasms in my fingers. I recently had ART muscle testing done and she found erlichia and some bartonella and babesia. The most bothersome symptoms are the muscle and nerve spasms. Is there any herb I can take for these? Thanks.

2) Chinese skullcap root tincture: elkmountainherbs.com (only source I recommend for this) Dosage: ¼-1/2 tsp 3x daily.
3) American skullcap leaf tincture: Same dosage.
4) Cordyceps capsules: 1stchineseherbs.com Dosage: 3 capsules 2-3x daily) [Note from editor: Click on the 1st Chinese herbs ad on this page or the homepage to get the code for a 10% discount on this one.]

B-12, 2000 mcg daily can also help.
These herbs will help relieve the damage to the nerves and stop the tremors.

I NEED FROM YOU FOR MUSCLE AND NERVE SPASM PLEASE?
I WAIT.RAGARDS.PETRA.
Stephen, thank you so much for the detailed suggestions for muscle and nerve spasms associated with stealth microbe infections. Cordyceps and Chinese skullcap are already in the herbal protocol I’ve been taking for 9 months (Vital Plan Restore), which is helping and I understand owes greatly to your research and generosity. But I will try adding one or more of the others. A short course of doxycycline set off Herxing spasms in my hands. They eased significantly when I switched to herbs only, but have not gone away. As a massage therapist, resolving this symptom is especially important. Blessings to you and yours!
