[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the poster with Lyme. I do have a handicap placard. It doesn't do much when I can't leave the house though. I thank g-d for such a loving husband. I see a top LLMD and take every precaution necessary to try and get myself well. I'm not someone who sits around and complains and does nothing to help myself. The only reason I got upsets was because I was first called a liar, then told my condition was nothing serious. If you suffered as much as I did, you would understand. Though I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I wasn't looking for sympathy or attention. Anyhow, sorry to hijack thread. It wasn't my intention. I just love food and I spend time on the Internet due to fatigue and pain so I thought it would be fun to join in the conversation instead of lurking.

Btw--if you doubt Lyme and what it does, please check out [b]www.underourskin.com[/b] for an award winning documentary, it's free on Hulu or netflix. I'm all for spreading awareness.[/quote]

Interesting. Have you been able to find appropriate treatment? Are people ever cured of it?[/quote]

I appreciate the well wishes..thank you! I tested positive 5 years ago when things got really bad for me. I was told I was cured after 30 days of antibiodics even though I was SO SICK still. 4 years later I was in and out of hospitals and specialists and finally saw the right dr and learned more about Lyme disease. It is my understanding that once it goes into chronic stage, it will never go fully away, but can go in to remission.

I then was also diagnosed with babesia , bartonella, EBV, a heart murmur, systematic candida and a few other health issues. It's not the Lyme that does the most damage per say. It's the coinfections that are often the worst and most damaging

. Really, the documentary explains a lot and it's won all kinds of awards.  Unfortunately, there's a lot of political issues and this disease is often hush hush and misdiagnosed as lupus, MS, Parkinson's amoung other autoimmune diseases. Many people suffering or dying because of it. Very few doctors are knowledgable. LLMDs are the only ones who generally are. I am very fortunate to see one of the top specialists in the country.

Anyway, honestly I did not mean to hijack this thread. I really just wanted to join in the conversation. I am a huge foodie and had to readjust how I eat less than a year ago, so while I don't eat processed foods (because toxins are already taking over my body) I do enjoy higher healthy fat foods like the ones I listed.[/quote]
