Lyme Disease is brutal and cruel Biggest battle of my life

[jtknight]

Sad to hear our local radio host has likely passed. He always sounded like a great guy.
! Another tip to avoid ticks, aside from NOT walking through wild grasses/shrubs is to CAREFULLY check your dog that may be with you on a hike. They usually will go through places we may not and ticks hide really well on their body AND can crawl off them in your car or home

I’m documented 15 years late chronic, it’s a horrendous disease. I thought the panic disorder and heart palpitations was bad in 2008, it only got worse. The only medical help I’ve had is because I pursued it for many years and that’s not right. Please, younger generation and parents. Seek a Lyme doctor/co-infection specialist.

I’ve been diseased for so long now in my early 40’s, there’s not much left of me. 💚

I got infected with Lyme disease about 22 years ago, after watching a friend of mine go through years of conventional medical treatment using antibiotics that inevitably didn't cure her. When my symptoms began showing 10 years later(there is often a dormancy period before symptoms are noticeable.The symptoms joint pain, , stiffness, constant headache, brain swelling so bad I couldn't firm cohesive thoughts or remember simple vocabulary, constant fever, , night sweats, pain and stiffness so bad in my joints and spine I couldn't even bend down to tie my shoes, or turn my head from side to side and had to roll out of bed every morning because I couldn't sit up, it's really horrible, turning me at 35 years old into an 80 year old over almost overnight. I used Olive leaf extract and garlic as natural antibiotics as well as apple cider vinegar to keep pH levels optimum in my body. As the years progress my symptoms have diminished and I now only have minor symptoms, apparently this is quite common as time passes your immune system adjusts to fight off the infection more effectively, and the pain and symptoms become less and less intrusive and are manageable.

Stanford did a study around 10 years ago, they found Lyme-bearing ticks in every single park they tested in the East Bay. I still have the article about it in our local newspaper.

Great information. Not until JV spoke about it I did not know what Lyme disease can cause.

[andreafox]

It's a horrible disease. Bad testing, bad treatment, too late of diagnosis is a huge problem. You don't just get Lyme disease, co infections also.

[devolatif]

I had paralysis! Heart and arthritis. 3xs
Red star tick. And other ticks! God bless him.

[BayAreaTimes]

I listened to JV on my way to work for years 😢

[peaceu]

Great doctor! Hopefully with these info we’re all can diagnose the symptoms and get early treatments.

Sorry for this loss. Lyme is devastating. It's being dismissed and this brave man had shed light.🙏

Super sad and truly hope his family can find some closure soon♡♡~How many of us are carrying this most difficult virus from ALL those childhood ticks we easily picked up??
Growing up in rural Southern California, in the horse country of Rancho Cucamonga, we rode our lovely horses for hours through the hills, while those clingy critters backpacked on us back home...Thus, out came the matches and tweezers in order to pull the ticks off...My Brother was diagnosed with Lyme Disease a few years back, and my tests always "inconclusive".

[jizmoglass]

I live in Minnesota. We have deer ticks that are the size less than a match head. I have been suffering for years.

Jesus Christ called people everywhere to repent, so if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved and inherit the kingdom of heaven and eternal life. To this, people would accept Jesus Christ in life in their hearts and told other people how Good he is, how he saves, heals and frees and gives eternal life for freе 1

[deemisquadis]

I have fibromyalgia and it was mistaken for lime disease. Similar symptoms.

[Lizzieverse]

It took me 2 years to get a doc to test me for Lyme!! Docs need to listen to their patients better and not assume anything. I live in south Louisiana and kept having my concerns dismissed. Now the pain is unbearable and I cant afford all the experimental treatments bc they aren't covered by insurance. Most docs have no experience treating Lyme and just keep passing me off to someone else. This disease took my life from me! 🥺

[kcalb]

I listen to his voice for so many years....wild 94.9, lite rock less

[jimbrant]

I was just diagnosed with lime . After telling my doctor that I was bite a tick over a year ago. Did a blood test but didn't check for lime . I'm looking for a new doctor. Wish me luck.

[davidwright]

so...that's it? nothing more? the strangest story ever....

[lauraskerski]

Take garlic supplements, glucosamine & collagen for joints supplement. Used to live in TN where there was a tick problem.
