For some time now, I have wanted to share my experiences with Lyme Disease and protocols that have helped.
This is such a vast topic that I will share bits and pieces every so often.
Like many people, it took me many years to receive a diagnosis.
Twice I had blood work completed and both times it came back negative for Lyme disease. The first time I didn’t know the internist was checking for Lyme disease and I never saw the blood test results, which could have given me a helpful clue.
The second time the neurologist didn’t tell me he was checking for Lyme either, but portals were available then, and I easily saw the three lines of Lyme in the blood work yet the C.D.C. didn’t consider that enough evidence. There needed to be five lines of Lyme to be considered Lyme disease.
Thankfully, the internet was available and I looked into Lyme and heard that many people find they have Lyme even when less than five Lyme lines are present in their blood work.
I proceeded to purchase a Lyme test through Vitality labs and low and behold the Lyme was visibly present. The test was expensive, but so worth it to finally have a diagnosis.
I also found other co-infections, which is common with Lyme Disease. No wonder I felt like I was playing, pin the tail on the donkey, with finding solutions along the way.
I heard from one woman, that she did the routine Lyme test through either Labcorp or Quest, and six times it came back as negative even when she saw the tick bite, and had the bullseye rash and many other symptoms.
She purchased a specialized lab test, through I think Armin Labs, out of Germany, and her Lyme bacteria were present as well.
In undergoing further research, I have found that it is common to have a false negative blood test when testing for Lyme disease.
I began methylene blue infusions every two to three weeks and three months of antibiotics through my alternative m.d.
In a short time, I felt immensely better. I also took Allimax Pro two to three times per day. A potent form of allicin, the healing element in garlic. I especially like these capsules, because I don’t wreak of garlic when I have them and I have a significant decrease in symptoms when I am on them.
The energy, sleep and mood were the first things to improve. All of a sudden I was doing the things I had been doing prior to getting sick. It had taken twenty years to receive a diagnosis and I had no idea what was wrong. I’ll go into the first improvements at a later date.
I had attributed a lot to a significant trauma I had been through years prior and now I think plausible that I was bit by a tick without knowing it during that time. I never saw a tick or a bullseye rash from 20 years prior.
Ironically, after my blood work with the neurologist, I went on a trip to Alaska and a tick fell down my shirt and bit me and now I had a bullseye rash.
I returned from my trip and received my blood work, in my portal, from my neurologist and moved ahead to receive treatment. It was fortunate that I hadn’t just finished my antibiotics, but would be able to address both tick infections.
When bit by a tick you want to receive antibiotics right away and especially within a month or it can turn into chronic Lyme disease.
When I came across the Lyme lines in my blood work and matched up my symptoms, I was so relieved and researched Lyme disease for 40 hours that first week and began my research with a prayer, which I strongly suggest. Let the Lord be your guide. So grateful to have an answer and the Vitality Labs blood work confirmed the diagnosis.
You wouldn’t think someone with Lyme disease would be relieved with the diagnosis, but for me, I now had a visible target.
I have gone on a quest to find a remedy and solutions that truly make a difference in healing from Lyme Disease. I will share periodically and hopefully some of those suffering with Lyme will learn of these helpful methods.
Feel free to join me on this journey.
