My Chronic Lyme Disease Journey PT. 3 | Symptoms | Antibiotics | Breaking Point | Recovery 

Caught LD in 1981, didn't get a proper diagnosis till 2007. Lived 40 years with this, with no support from anyone, mostly being treated like an idiot druggie because I was always sick, tired, depressed and poor.

I have Lyme right now, have had most of the symptoms you have said. I am taking Doxycycline currently. Thanks for sharing your Story Kelly, it helps me out alot.

My son was hit hard from Lyme, we took the natural approach, and after a year and half of treatments he has almost made a full recovery...unfortunately a lot of people are misdiagnosed due to our medical labs (Canada), our naturopath decided to send his blood sample to Germany where it was finally confirmed for Lyme. They believe my son had it from when he was extremely young, contrary to what most think, Lyme can also be transmitted through eating red meat, one of my sons favorite things. The clinic is BIE I believe they are also located in the US, very strange treatment, along the lines of acupuncture with electricity and silver water. They literally saved his life, although he goes through stages of pain due to nerve damage, he is slowly making a full recovery. Along with this he did IV therapy with vitamins, or Myers cocktails as it is known, this has also helped him in his recovery as well. I am glad we did not go the antibiotic route, being from Canada it would have came at no cost, but we decided to go naturally, and it probably has set us back by $10,000...but the end results were amazing, on top of that, this clinic was able to rid his body of all allergies, dairy, pollen and feathers. He is also using a high quality CBD oil to help with joint pain. Thank you for your story....I feel your pain, my son is around your age as well, and there is nothing worse then seeing your child suffer. I hope you make a full permanent recovery!

Really enjoyed all three of your videos and can relate to many things you have gone/are going through. For help with moods my Lyme doc put me on 5 mg of Lithium Orotate twice a day and it has been so helpful. No side effects and no withdrawal. I am 62 and came down with Lyme just over 3 years ago. Originally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and told to learn to live with it. Even at 62 I can relate to you saying you watched all your friend do this and that ... I feel that as well. It's just simply a reality my body doesn't work too well. All my treatment is out of pocket at a private clinic. It's almost impossible to get good or any Lyme treatment through our medical system in Canada. We do tend to learn to live on day at a time :) One thing that has been helpful for me for sleep is 10 mg of time released Melatonin and 200 mg of L Theanine before bed. When I wake in the night I take another 100 mg chewable tablet of L Theanine. Thanks for sharing your story. Hope you are continuing to have good days!

Thank you so much for sharing your story And for the Hope you give US all

Tremendously helpful for me to hear your story. Still seeking a more formal diagnosis here but so much symptom overlap. Sharing your videos with my doctors to help them understand. Grateful for your efforts putting these videos out there. Sincere thanks! Best wishes on your continued recovery.

Thank you so much! Going through the same thing. It helps to hear from one that is also back at 85%. Good luck !

Thank you so much for sharing your story. You are the first video I watched of the people sharing their Lyme disease journey. I am so happy that you are feeling and doing better, as only the person who is going through what you have been through and still are, knows how the improvement you are talking about feels. You are such a delight and I am so happy you and Layton are married and together in your little town. YOU ARE SUCH A DELIGHT.

Thank you so much for sharing your story you said it in a really good way you're a really good story teller

Happy for you that you have mostly recovered. I'm going thru the Lyme journey now and making progress. Had the weak wobbly legs for a while too, and I agree it's quite scary. Thanks for making this vid :) Good luck to you.

I also live in central Maine and have been ill for over 35 years from a long list of health problems so to study and treat myself with food therapy has been critical for my survival as some of the health problems came from Lead poison Tularemia Lyme disease Hodgkin's disease and enviornmental toxins of air pollution from the wood industry near bye and at work so the synergy of all of the above working against me was very challenging but survived through by the right spirit and live food described nicely in Be Your Own Doctor by Ann Wigmor and her Wheat Grass Book so please check them out when you can also most people are exposed to some level of lead especialy in their tap water because copper pipes pre 2014 were most generally 8 % lead and now with all the wi Fi and microwave ovens and Floride added to public water the water becomes electrified especialy dangerous with Floride added because Floride is an Alkaloid salt and lead is an acid so they together make electrolysis resulting in polonium production and when fully charged only one gram may kill 20 million people according to Wikipedia and lead leaves the blood rapidly so a blood test for it is not accurate and doctors who know their stuff request a zinc erithrosite test as an indicator of lead poison exposure because lead poisoning destroys zinc levels in the blood and whole human body so taking extra zinc each day can be critical because without it we can not make inulin and B1 vitamin is needed to metabolize it The above is incomplete but maybe a good start as I shall add to the above info later as I need to plant my garden some or the squash and things won't have time to ripen as we are experiencing quite the monsoon now Chin up and keep up the good work

Your story is amazing I saw your story somewhere along time ago and I though you were 100 well again in that story but how could you know without knowing the future

Yes screen for rickettsia and babesiosis

dr. dubak sounds empathic and great doctor probably bc his own wife had had it ;) Who feels it knows......one great add is Physiotherapy, espec. Chiropractics and those who do Shiatsu. Yes Sugar and Alcoholfree is very good with Lyme, but i oppose Milk Free, we need Organic Raw Milk for our Bones and for Vitamin D. You are very right everything you say in this Video

Would you recommend SOT therapy? Three people in my family have Lyme and it helped them tremendously.

how did you get a diagnosis of babeosis lyme and bartonella ? are pcr tests reliable ?

I have lyme and also mycotoxins im my body. Had all these symptoms. Wonder if you had mold exposure as well? Were you ever tested for mycotoxins?

What exact combo of antibiotics were you on besides doxy?

How are you now ? My name is Teddy from Minnesota I been having this for 20 years and I'm, a milkman working through this

After how many weeks/months of antibiotics did you feel better and see improvements?

In how many months after treatment you start getting better?or did u suffer along with treatment for ten years😥please clear this after treatment did u feel better soon or it takes time?

Also, what tests did he do?

I am in Arkansas and I dont know when I got lyme disease. I tested very positive for epstein barr. Another year goes by of feeling ill and after I quit my job and gained weight from my pregnancy 5 years ago and I have been sick since. I became bedridden after quiting my job last year 2021. I cant concentrate. I cant remember conversations well. I have spasms esp in my back that make it difficult to walk longer than half a block if that. I'm struggling to loose weight because I csnt exercise without feeling like I have the horrible flu the next day. Do you think your sore throat is from epstein barr or lyme??? I know I am about to have a flare when my right side of my throat starts to hurt. Im glad you are feeling better. You remind me of me when I was your age. I have felt ill since I was 14 or so. I am currently 36. Its been a long time coming.

What lurks beneath

Our daughter battled lyme disease for about 17 years - At times, we thought she would not make it. The only thing that saved her was prayer and bee venom therapy (BVT). We tried so much, spent tens of thousands of dollars, and none of it worked until she did BVT. She is now lyme symptom-free and pregnant with our first grandchild. Thank You, Jesus. About two months ago, I heard a lady (super smart lady who I believe has her PHD in medical research) speaking about Ivermectin and how effective it is against Covid 19. In her talk, she mentioned that Ivermectin can also help overcome lyme disease. You can find information about Ivermectin and lyme disease online. Hope this helps.

Horowitz gave me the 3 antibiotics and it made my head so bad I wanted to die. I quit going and now that they have found answers, they want me to pay up to 3 grand to return like a new patient bc it's been more than 3 years. Unfair

I am unable to do any medication! I get very sick..there must be an alternative treatment?! A woman who was on a Facebook lyme group said she took ivermectin...what are your thoughts on this? Thanks!!

Was you able to do anything lik going out and daily life I am asking because I am feeling very very bad tons of symptoms sleep disorder (insomnia)u r right very hard to handle with sleeping pills horrible. my head is burning like fire digestion stomach fully numbness tingling sensation feelings like electric sensation iam totally zero I feel.my head is very very heavy like some big stone on my head also felling like I have flu when I eat a bit dairy my eyes is burning alot of kongnativ issues alot memory loss irritated restlessness fearful totally depression symptoms I can't even live alone anxity panic a long list but the other side I have diagnosed recently Hashimoto thyroiditis also may be all together because lyme is mimic😭😭😭I hope i will soon better soon.i can't go out home bound.is your insomnia better now with treatment please update your health

yeah, destroying your stomach is not really the answer because it just adds to future inflammation. I had 10 rounds of IV antibiotics after a spider bite which I believe gave me lymes, but the antibiotics destroyed my stomach and so I forever have a very thin stomach lining, which causes a lot of issues.

Hi, thanks for sharing your story. You've been to hell and back again ! Hopefully things will just keep getting better. It has nothing to do with Lyme directly, but maybe check-out Dr Stephen Gundry and "The Plant Paradox". Couldn't do you any harm...

omg all those drugs!! That's crazy. He doesn't do any natural cures?

This is one species of insect I wish would disappear & inshallah this disease with it.

i almost ended my life because of life until i got on CYMBALTA. I cant take the pains so im going on leave for 6 months to get a hang of this. IGM BAND 39 came back for me
