I desperately want my life back. I’m a shell of the person I once was.

I’m holding onto every glimpse of hope that I’ll finally heal.

I now fully understand why patients of #lymedisease use the term #lymewarrior.

It feels like my body is legit trying to take me out and I’m not even close to being on the #Lyme protocol yet. My body was too sensitive for the gentle treatment, so now we move to what they give children.

I’m so sick of being sick.

I’m thankful for my diagnosis and new treatment, but the herx reactions and constant monitoring of my symptoms are exhausting.

Feeling anxious about taking my next dose of #LymeDisease treatment. Thankfully I have these two to cuddle with to ease my anxiety. My therapy puppies 💛

Less than an hour and I’ll know if my body will tolerate the second dose better than the first. 😬

After being told I didn’t have #TickBorneDisease by a #LymeDisease specialist, I sought a second opinion. I couldn’t feel more validated. If your intuition tells you something isn’t right, advocate for yourself - and if they dismiss your concerns? For the love of everything get a second opinion.
