A journey of my life with Chronic Lyme Disease and my adventures along the way.

I know you want me to get better quick, but .......
Today is the life celebration for my Dr. who passed away on 12/21 from Lyme related heart issues. He taught me how to live a better life being very ill.There are various reasons I've felt alone and estranged with my Lyme. People do not understand, and think I'm lazy or being mean. I have stage 4 Lyme and it has reached my brain. There are times I can't talk right, or form certain words. I say the wrong thing. I get depressed and sad for no reason.. I have so many physical problems, I get paranoid that people get sick of listening to me or think I'm lying. My short term memory is shot. Sometimes I hear voices and see things or I don't know who you are for a minute.I know it isn't real, but nonetheless terrifying. That's scary and being a mental health therapist, I will continue to help others afflicted as well. I lost my marriage and my new relationship because of my disease. My days revolve around my medications and my doctor appointments. There are days I can't leave the house because I'm in so much pain, but through it all, I have to accept that and keep pushing forward.

My Second Cupping Treatment
My second cupping treatment did not render the monster bacteria the first one did. But enough bacteria emerged from my forehead to take my migraine symptoms away. It also helped to clear my brain and take my Lyme disease journal to my blog where it belongs. I've dealt with so much pain and terror of my own and my client's that I forget how shocking some of this shit may be to others and I get that. I have moved my facebook journal to my blog.
The second cupping was also a spiritual experience, just as it is sacred to walk where our ancestors walked such as the untouched parks, the treatment of cupping and needles is an ancient tradition during the days of Abraham and a precursor to medicine.
The cupping again cleared my head again with a force I did not see until three hours later. I know now I must meet me pain with gratitude and a power for me to call God and ask for goodness and grace.
My first treatment lasted 7 days before I herxed and 9 when my attitude and brain started to change to an irritable, crying, plasmic mess.
I had two cuppings on my forehead which looks rather frighting, but when I saw what came out, no wonder my sinuses never cleared with the amount of biofilm which was lurking under the surface. I will be continuing my herbs and essential oils which will be documented here
later.

My Auto Immune Disease Diet
Yes, I have Stage 3 Lyme Disease, but that doesn't really exist, and I also have co-infections of Fibromyalgia, CFIDS, Hashitomoto's Thyroiditis, and Arthritis; which are ALL auto immune diseases with very similar symptoms. I have looked at my worst symptoms. Now knowing what needs to be done for these types of diseases most insurances won't cover, I'm combining parts of the Paleo Diet, juicing the Candida Diet. I can have no sugar unless it's agave, honey or stevia and
no alcohol ever. No corn, gluten, or yeast, white flour, or diary (for now) except for hard cheeses, and later, I can add in greek yougurt.
Daimon, my wonderful friend is doing this with me.
Plus I'm involved on two FB pages, "Eating for Lymies" and "Foods for Fibro, and the paleo diet/cook book by Lorin Cordian.
I also take live probiotics, vit, c,d-3, PRO-EPA, Cats Glaw, Audiographis, Pregnalone, Selenium, DHEA, Co-Q10, Magnesium Glyclinate , and my prescription medications.
I can eat lean meat, poultry, fish, nuts, seeds, some fruits, veggies except potatoes. I can have brown rice. Right now I'm not eating barley, rye, oats and other grains just to have my body clam down, and notice
the allergic symptoms I may have if I add a grain back in.
