Overdue Update...

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of updates, its just been a really hard month, struggling with symptoms and stuff.

 Hopefully I will be able to do more videos this month since May is Lyme Disease Awareness month!!

Part 1...

Part 2...

Two things I did forget to mention as far as symptoms is I've been having problems with stuttering and my lisp. Today they aren't bad at all, thankfully, but some days the stuttering is ridiculous! 

Thank you all so so much for all your love and support!! 

I will be posting again soon with an update on more the emotional/mental side of living with a chronic, invisible illness, and coming to terms with it all.

Watch me have my first recorded absence seizure!!

Ok, so for the symptom update. This is just kind of an over view of what has been more prominent or gotten worse this last week. It is all still very bearable, just a little more to deal with. :) 

 Now for the Babesia and Bartonella update.

ALSO!!! Watch me have an absence seizure!! Where I am fluttering my eyes and all confused, its a seizure. I can't believe I actually caught one on camera.  :P 

Thank you all so much for praying for my friend Alisa!! She really really appreciates it so much! Also, please continue to keep her in your prayers. Thank you!

P.S. I don't like hearing the fire station sirens go at 3am. Just seems like such a lonely, scary time.

Herxheimer Reaction

Otherwise known as herxing. I made this so that you will understand what is going on and that you don't freak.

Also, I forgot to mention that Lymies can herx from even "simple" things like Candida. When we go off gluten and sugar and you are killing off that yeast and fungus, it can create just as bad of herx reactions as the other infections.

POTS....

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, a form of Dysautonomia. I'm sorry but I had a hard time trying to explain it. Its so confusing and complicated and I don't feel like I even know very much about it. 

In reality I have likely had POTS for years I just now realized that that was what it is though. I hadn't ever fainted before so I hadn't considered it a real possibility. I struggled with hypertension for years and my doctor suspects that that was really POTS symptoms. Now I struggle with fluctuating from hypertension and hypotension. Its a huge show to juggle! 

Symptoms

These symptoms are only the symptoms that I experience. There are some that I didn't mention I'm sure. 

There are more symptoms that other people experience though.
