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.
DL-phenylalanine can also work by preventing the breakdown of existing endorphins. Or just pure D-Phenylalanine, but it is expensive.
But we both know this isn't your problem so I'm not sure why you were surfing upon it. You should be out there researching docs Phillipa! :-) Come on already. :-)
Actually, low dose naltrexone has been said to help Lyme sufferers because it beefs up and resets the immune system.
