NOT A CHANCE I AM SLOWING DOWN

 There have been many changes since my first post on Monday, May 7 2012

My Lyme Disease Symptoms 

For the last year I have been Gluten Free (Wheat), Soy Free, Casein Free and limited amount of dairy. I have managed to avoid all fast food restaurants. 

Okay with that being said. GOD YES, I eat all the time. I love snickers bars and don't seem to have a reaction, so lol, I try not to OD on Snickers.  My grocery list consist of just about everything that is found on the outer three walls of most grocery stores. Meat, Vegetables and Dairy. In order for me to shop the center isles I need to read the labels. Simple. By making those few changes in my diet, (Which I don't like to call it.) I have been able to eliminate any needs for medicine, other then Aleve (for the worst days) and Aspirin (for blood thinning properties)

I want to share some of my adventures since I have been feeling better, to give some light to those of you who are just starting your journey or in the middle of your crisis.

Lyme Disease and Co-infections have changed my life in many ways. You will have good days and bad days.When your bad days go from every moment of your existence to one day a month, you will understand. 

                                            

NOT A CHANCE I AM SLOWING DOWN

Can not be erased

With all of the attempt to make Lyme disease go away the only thing that I have found is exercise and maintaining your actual nutritional diet will keep your symptoms at rest. However every chance that it gets it will take you down to a place you have never been. This is been the longest journey of my life the longest 8 + years. It has brought me to the point where I thought I was going to break. It is brought me to the point where I have screamed out loud. Why me. And now only as I get better, do I see that it is me. It is me it is me that is sick it is me that has one disease it is me that has multiple diagnosis is that no one will ever understand.

Could You Have Lyme Disease and Not Even Know It?

Long term effects of Lyme Disease

I have had multiple treatments of antibiotics and I have tried many different things to change the effects of what lymes disease has done to my body.

I have chosen to move forward with what I have left and to make the best of ever day, cause for some strange reason, I have been spared yet another time. Perhaps I am a cat

I am going to list below the multiple keywords (# or #)  or search words that got me to my health that I am today. Or symptoms to search if you suspect you have lymes.

headaches
stiff neck
spots in front of eyes
swollen glands (MAYBE I SHOULD QUITE SMOKING - GAIN 4 POUNDS)
mood swings (MUST BE PMS) YEAH okay
night sweats (SLEEP WITH LESS BLANKETS -NOPE SLEEP NAKED (SORRY TMI) BUT STILL SWEAT!)
sore throat (MAYBE I SHOULD QUITE SMOKING - GAIN 10 POUNDS)
fever (MUST BE COMING DOWN WITH SOMETHING AGAIN)
Back pain (WORKING TO MUCH = UM NO NORMAL PEOPLE DON'T FEEL THIS WAY)
Sore Feet (or sensation that your feet are burning)
Chest pain (MAYBE I SHOULD QUITE SMOKING - GAIN 10 POUNDS)
Heart Palpitations (NO YOU DID NOT DRINK TO MANY CUPS OF COFFEE)
Body aches all over (AND NO YOU ARE NOT JUST GETTING OLD)
Rash (maybe) (NOT ALWAYS)
ETC ETC ETC ETC ETC ETC ETC
I am posting at the bottom my list of symptoms and how the page grew This is a copy of my journal and as crazy as it looks is as crazy as lymes disease can make you feel,

I know there will be days through your Lymie struggles that you will want to give up. Please fight to get out of the box that lymes disease puts you in...

And it begins again...

Numbness again. I have a kick ass head ache today. I am tired, and the feeling of weird sensations have all come rushing back. Woke up this morning and had nausea, great here we go again. Clouds are rolling back in and if I don't get rid of this soon it will take me down worse the last time. 
Er visit  last month ($10,000.00 + for 8hrs in er.) a week of being in bed and out of work. When it hits this time what will it take down? Last time it was dizziness, blurred vision, vertigo, palpitations, sever inflammation on the bottoms of my feet and several joint and muscle pain. Inflammation all over and shortness of breath. My heart rate at resting (not sleeping) was 39-45 bpm while in the er. My neurologist at the er suggested that I see a cardiologist.  Great another specialist to add to the list. I have not made an appointment to see a cardiologist yet. I will be consulting with a local infectious disease specialist, who comes highly recommended, by two friends. This blog has been a great time line of symptoms.
I will be posting soon the list of doctors (not names just titles) of the specialists that I have seen, the bullshit diagnoses and have given me bullshit excuses for why they are worthless doctors and clearly not lyme literate at all. 

I recently started seeing a chiropractor. Okay, I will say that I felt better after seeing him, however it did not change the underlying symptoms of chronic inflammation. So the next thought and research to be done is on how lyme disease changes the system and can make you have allergy that did not exist before. Like chemical sensitivities and gluten allergies. 

My biggest fear is that my children will suffer from this. If they did not receive it when I was pregnant with them, they both have been bitten multiple times and have not had a rash. But hey guess what I never had a bulls-eye rash, nor did my father. Soooo.
