Dianosed with Lyme Disease

Recently, I’ve learned that I have the worst kind of Lyme’s Disease that you can have. I know pretty much when it happened and how it happened. I was in the military and we were in field training, it was August of 2008 and we were setting up our sleeping quarters for the weekend. Unfortunately, that weekend many of us were bit by ticks in Fort Leonard Wood but we were able to get the ticks off with tweezers so we thought but clearly, they bit me before I could ever get to them. Many of us were bitten that weekend, hopefully, many did not suffer the way I have in the past. Because my body was injected with SO MANY VACCINES that month from the military, my immune system was weak and couldn’t fight off the diseases from the tick bites. But really how would I ever know what caused the reaction. I just know that I suffered for a very long time and had no idea that I even had LYME DISEASE till recently, I just knew I had some other autoimmune disease called POTS.

I’ve treated my autoimmune disease completely holistically and it has worked for the most part. I know I would be in total remission if I knew I had the Lyme Disease. But unfortunately I wasn't treating both, I was only treating the one disease. Because of that, I’ve had my autoimmune disease come out on and off throughout the years but I was okay with that. I wasn't on any medications and as long as I kept myself healthy I didn't have so many issues. Only recently I started having problems again that were noticeable and I felt I needed extra help. So I sought out a functional medicine doctor and had some blood work done to check my autoimmune and to see if there was anything I was missing.

It seems there was a lot I was missing because I was never tested correctly for those viruses or diseases. With that being said, I tested positive for high levels of 6 different strains of Lyme Disease, Epstein's Bar, Mono, Phenomena, and HHV-6 which is a childhood illness that my body should have fought off a long time ago. The Epstein's Bar, Mono, and Pneumonia are irrelevant but the HHV-6, unfortunately, is the reason the LYME'S DISEASE is very active. The two combined are very dangerous and could cause many health issues including, cancer and MS if untreated. SO why am I having some of these issues again with my lifestyle? I eat organic everything, I’m extremely fit, I don't expose myself to many toxins and overall I’m doing what I thought was the best things to do. But with LYME’S DISEASE the game changes, there's, even more, I need to do to get rid of it and put both of my diseases in remission.

Some of that is supplements, other things include not being exposed to any toxins. For example; perfumes, any artificial sugars, alcohol, and even environmental pollution's. Most of you are probably thinking why is a health coach writing about her health issues if she is the one trying to help others. I’m writing this to prove you can beat anything. I will beat this and I will be writing weekly about my symptoms and when I beat this I'll write a book on how to beat LYME'S. Many suffer from this disease and many do not get the help they need because they are placed on medications to “fix it” but that doesn't “fit it” it just subsides the symptoms. When you just treat the symptoms and not the problem, you are putting yourself at high risk of cancer or some other disease. But of course, if you die of a heart attack they will never link that to LYME'S instead they will just say you have a weak heart. It's from the Lyme's, this disease or other diseases are what caused the weak heart. Don't feed into the BS that you hear, know that any disease will affect your body as a whole.
