I have Lyme disease, co infections, mycotoxin illness, leaky gut, hypothyroidism among other things. All my illnesses are thought to have been brought about from lyme, thought to been infected 1989, per a Lyme lit doc. Regular docs never caught my late stage lyme and are very misinformed. Now, I'm having many more symptoms, including weight gain, along with nerve and bone pain. Thin all my life, no family history of obesity, gained over 30 lbs over 10 months - common with lyme. Will CoolSculpting be safe with all my inflammation? Toxins are stored in fat so I'm afraid of herxing with killing fat cells.

Answer: CoolSculpting Thank you for your question. I am a Certified Functional Medicine physician and am very familiar with all of your issues and treat all of them in my wellness practice at aNu. I am very sorry to hear about your struggles. CoolSculpting has not shown to cause Herx or other post inflammatory issues. I have many of these same issues myself that you have as do my patients and they nor I have not had adverse reactions to CoolSculpting.

Answer: CoolSculpting Thank you for your question. Currently, there are no clinical studies regarding treating patients with Lyme Disease, however, there have been patients who have been treated and did well with the treatment. We do know that conditions like hypothyroidism can delay the treatment outcome by slowing the cryolipolysis process. I do believe it would be worth a try, but recommend doing a test area first and see how you respond, especially with your history of nerve pain. If all goes well, then continue with the full treatment plan. Best wishes in your fat freezing journey!
