Patient Initiated Information Boom

 
     There is sooo much LYME information out there now, that I really have to consider all facts, all sides. I feel extremely lucky to be able to so. It has not always been that way. The post before this, is ONE example of all the
detailed,
deeply varied,
research
and journaling
in our OWN
data collection.
There is an EXPLOSION of PATIENT INITIATED INFORMATION!
Wow. We rock, and we, together with good research, good doctors, and honest patients, we are gaining ground in every way. Slow, yes. Questions? You bet.
But be on the lookout, and keep detoxing! :)

I AM SO IMPRESSED! The information, research and just plain intelligent thought that has come out of the Lyme patient community is top notch. It's all over. Underground.

I have not watched this yet! Will do soon. The part I saw made me realize I'd better give it time and attention. I DO NOT recommend the Lacc/Zyl protocol to anyone who is not being carefully supervised by a very knowledgeable LLMD. This protocol will reach deep into the brain and organs to break down biofilms and cause you challenges that you will need to be supported through. It takes time to heal your body after tearing up biofilms, killing off bacteria, and detoxing them out of your body. It is no easy, fun task, BUT extremely cleansing when all is said and done. Looking forward to seeing all the creepy things in this video.

Quick Update

I have been quiet for a while, since my last go-round with lacctoferrin/zylitol. I have been extremely tired and worn out. I am sitting, sleeping, zoning out. I have been imagining that the role of the lacc/zy protocol is to break up biofilms and release the bugs so we can kill them. In my simplistic way, I see all those gross little colonies being broken down and torn up so the biofilms are 'dissolved and the spirochetes are free to roam. Remember, this is microscopic. The spirochetes roam around until killed, or go in to feed somewhere else. CREEPY.
So, since there was so much tearing going on, (because obviously this does work to break biofilms) there has to be a lot of repair going on too. I think between all three stages, my body is just plain working very, very hard and I am tired. My body has been working very hard for many many years to just keep itself going. That's how it feels anyway. I do know that the repair will keep happening and everyday I am stronger once again, but the house is a little messy and there not as much food on the stove..... ahhh well, this too shall pass. Repair away! I can wait, better days are ahead!!!

mainelyme.org

   I have posted this before, I think, but have included the link to the site on my nav. bar. It is a very good site, with lots of accurate information that still does need to get out there. I am still amazed that there are people who just don't know about tick born diseases at all! Helllllo?!! Oh well, my world is little too.
    Make good use of this site, bookmark it, email it, study it, etc., etc., and pass the information on to your friends and wee little ones as you take your fall color walks this week.

Into the Lyme Journey: Brain Fog- Will it ever go away??: Over the last few years I have experienced slowing of my cognitive abilities. For me, this has been a big deal because I am kind of a dorky...

interesting blog!

The Big Gross Out

     Today I am going to try to forget I have Lyme Disease. (actually I do that a lot) I can only do that because I can stand again, I can walk again, I can drive short distances again, and I am not nauseous EVERY minute, but a lot of the time. Do I still have pain? Yes. Do I still tilt and walk into walls? Yes, a little, and I don' drink...(but I can prove with all the bruises on my legs) Yes, I still struggle emotionally and mentally with the disease.  
      I'll tell you a secret: I am totally grossed out by the fact I have these bugs in my body. The first few years I really could NOT deal with it. It is sooo very gross. It was an emotional drain, and a mental issue, dealing with the reality of what was, and still is in my body. Of course after a decade + I have learned to push that truth into the back of my mind, and focus on things that make me happy. Even if it is watching the birds at the feeder because I am too tired or nauseous or whatever to do anything else. I have learned even more than ever, it's the simple things in life which have the most meaning. I've always appreciated the little things, but not like now!
     It is a blue skied day in Maine and it should be in the 60's. I am determined to go out. Bringing old but nice clothes to a local store for consignment. A couple dollars is a couple dollars. When medical bills wipe you out, all of a sudden a few dollars has more meaning! I'll enjoy my day. I'll pay for it in pain, nausea, fatigue, etc., but I can go out! That's big for me.

Almost Forgot

The past few days have been filled with nausea, fatigue and even low grade fevers. I was under a comforter, blanket, flannel sheets and even had a heavy sweater on over my 6 layers of clothes. That's one way I know it is a fever. Can't get warm. I laid down most of the day. I had been doing my typical daily detoxing but it was time for a deep detox. So, I spent an hour in a HOT Epsom Salt bath, with herb and fruit filled water to drink. Nice. I didn't feel great right away, but this morning I am moving more easily and no fever or extreme fatigue. BTY; when I do ES (about 2 cups/high bath water),
I rotate between sitting in very hot water to lifting my body into cold air. Hot/cold is good for getting the lymph system to drain.. I even hold my nose and dip my head a few times. I make sure the water is high enough to reach the lymph nodes in my neck, and my liver gets hot/cold too. With the hot/cold, and steam bath, ES, drink, and a day in bed, I am doing better. It just seems I almost forget how bad it can be when poof, it comes out again. I have another week or so before I begin the lacctiferrin/zylitol protocol once more, and that will bring on another challenge. Bring it on!
