> You can take low dose (1.5mg to 4.5mg) Naltrexone between 9pm and 12pm each night to increase endorphins. The drug temporarily tricks the opioid receptors into thinking there isn't enough endorphins, so for a few hours it pumps out a bunch of new ones which last about a day and this accumulates over days and weeks.

> Actually, low dose naltrexone has been said to help Lyme sufferers because it beefs up and resets the immune system.Chronic lyme's has no cure...when active my doc said you will have fever and swollen lymph nodes..all you can do is run antibiotics...but the bacteria will just go into hiding...also even if chronic it's not active all the time..
If one has depression with lyme's they still prescribe antidpressants...
You ask people here what to do..You need to find docs that will address thyroid and lyme's..You need to pursue docs that will address what you think you have and treat it..
You posted countless times about lyme's and your thyroid...These are questions for a doctor...
Also there are forums for lyme's and thyroid where people might give you better info
'
This board is best suited for questions about psychotropic meds which you have stated you are not interested in..It seems like you looking in the wrong place for lyme's disease and thyroid disease...The first step to get better is to find people who are suited to answer you questions...you need to be in the right place...
While riding your bike is admirable it will not cure lyme's or your thyroid place..Also sometimes when one is low in endorphins exercise may deplete them more and make you feel worse..
