This month is all about sharing with others the true hardships behind having this disease and being a huge supporter to those you know that are suffering.

Never in a million years did I think I would ever get sick, But there is a plan. This plan is a hard one because the expense to treat lyme disease is one that cant be afforded at the moment with me not working. I have had two treatments and felt a world of difference in just my brain fog in the first day. I thought that was wonderful. After I drove home I was sicker than a dog with dizziness and nausea that subsided the next day with rest. the treatments were a few hours long because they clean the blood and then you use the Vitamin C concoction through IV.

Lots of people have had several treatments using antibiotics which is ok in the very first stages but when it becomes Chronic the antibiotics wont be able to get through the biofilm. so I was taught.

I see a very wonderful clinic up in Pocatello, Idaho called the West clinic and Dr. Jason West is fabulous. The staff there is amazing and I cant wait to go back.

There are hundreds of thousands of people and children that go un-diagnosed or misdiagnosed every year. We need to raise awareness so the testing for lyme disease get better and the treatments to be more affordable. So many talented people that have good hearts go throught life without showing their full potential because of how debilitating this disease is. Five years ago I was 100% bed ridden but with a little help in the right direction I have slowly been able to do more and more. My wish is that me and my husband get the treatments we need. Not only is it hard for our kids to have one parent sick but to have both parents sick. Please be more understanding and fight for answers. I was diagnosed with MS, Fibromyalgia, And Chronic Fatigue before my true diagnosis with Lyme. Dont Give Up!!!
