A Woman's Journey Conversations that Matter | Lyme Disease

Lyme disease can be elusive and devastating. Only one-third of all cases produce the distinctive bulls-eye rash. Others may struggle for a diagnosis to treat many symptoms, from lethargy and fatigue to joint pain and depression. As specialists pursue treatments--especially for those not responding to traditional antibiotic regimens, learn about new theories, investigations and suggestions to help people regain their health and their lives.

Yes you are at fault
My doctor refused to test me for lyme even though I asked because I didn't have any rash!! If he had listened my whole life would have been different. I spent 10 years with lyme without treatment. Misdiagnosed!! Docs need to listen to their patients. If I can research this and realize that was a big possibility then the doc should be able to. He went to medical school for heavens sake!

I was tested via a "home kit" (blood draw, dry spot) knowing I've had seemingly unrelated muscle, neck, headache issues and wanted to have some evidence to bring to my Dr. It came back as positive for Borrelia Bacteria. Dr. tested themselves with no results in yet. My question; my Dr. said if my results show an "active" infection, she will treat with antibiotic. She said if it comes back that I had (past tense) Lyme Disease, They don't treat! I'm new this topic and given my life altering symptoms, understanding "flare ups" can occur in later stages, why wouldn't a protocol of antibiotics still be given even though I may have had Lyme Disease for many months if not years?

I wish they would talk about the ticks that are transported on birds all over the place. It's not just mice and deer.

Good education ! But most docs treat it like here's a week of doxy cyclyn and now your cured 😨

[romascopa]

C-19 seems very similar to Bartonella with how it interacts with endothelial cell walls when looking at how it attacks the body and the symptoms

[alicexx]

So why are so many hundreds of thousands, millions unfortunately left to go crazy?

[salemtrinity]

I had arthritis with neurological and heart symptoms

[chrisb]

Thanks doc! For shining a lite on this Disease! Had a spider bite two + years ago and just diagnosed 2 strains out of 3 ! Gave me 21 days of doxycy... And they say iam cured! 6 week from diagnosis and I don't feel cured ! What can I do next ???

[artsandbeauty]

You're saying you desperately need treatment studies to treat chronic Lyme. Well, if MDs were willing to look beyond their own nose, they would see that naturopathic treatment protocols work quite well.

[tamiwigginton]

No ones knows....this has been around since 1800....and testing done since then...and it was all dropped for some strange reason!!!

[tomwestheimer]

will the vaccine treat lyme once established ?

[tamiwigginton]

This is three years old, , , new info please!!

[tessmoore]

Mosquitoes carry it too. Not just ticks!

[cowjjf]

Wrong! My son got Lyme disease and Alpha Gal syndrome from the same tick. This is one of the dumbest thing I’ve heard. I can’t listen to anymore of this guy. I know for a fact that he told many people they didn’t have Lyme and they most certainly did.

[ktex]

Johns Hopkins, as an institution, has COMPLETELY failed all of humanity. Sold out.

[cowjjf]

It’s not called Lymes Disease lady! It is Lyme Disease. He even said Lymes a few times 🙄😡
