There’s a big difference between a “bad day” and a true Lyme flare… and right now, I truly believe Element is working through a flare up.
When horses with chronic Lyme flare, the inflammation in the body can spike quickly. That can mean bigger emotional reactions, increased sensitivity, soreness that seems to move around, muscle tension, changes in movement, and behaviors that feel completely out of character. One day they seem okay, the next day their nervous system feels overwhelmed.
That’s one of the hardest parts of chronic Lyme disease — the fluctuations. The body is constantly trying to regulate inflammation while also managing stress on the nervous system, muscles, fascia, and immune system.
I am working closely with her veterinarian, and she will be starting yet another round of doxycycline as we try to get this flare back under control. Chronic Lyme management is rarely linear, and sometimes it takes adjusting support and treatment plans multiple times along the way.
This is exactly why MagnaWave PEMF has become such an important part of Element’s support plan. PEMF helps support circulation, cellular function, recovery, and the body’s natural healing processes. During flare ups, I focus heavily on helping her body stay as regulated and comfortable as possible instead of forcing through symptoms.
PEMF isn’t a “cure” for Lyme disease, but for horses like Element, it can be an incredible tool to help the body process inflammation, support recovery, and improve comfort during the ups and downs.
Chronic Lyme horses can look perfectly fine one moment and deeply struggle the next. If you know, you know. ❤️
