Sweet Relief

It has been almost 2 months since I went to Longevity Health Center in Atlanta and I am happy to say that I am experiencing relief in my symptoms.

During the first month of treatment my symptoms got worse and I felt horrible. I had tics that were manifested in a grunting sound. They would go on and on. They were uncontrollable and very uncomfortable often causing pain in my chest. I had an ONDAMED treatment to help reduce the tics. It took about a week and then they started subsiding. Praise the Lord I am rarely experiencing them now.

In September I sent my blood to Longevity Health Center to be looked at for the 1 month review. Things looked better but the spirochetes were still present. They changed my treatment up and have been focusing on my kidneys and mercury this month. The past two weeks have been the most relief I have experienced in a long long time. I have had more energy. For the first time in over a year I was able to go to church and not be a shaking mess from the sounds and stimulation. I have not had a seizure in a month. This weekend I went to a ball room dancing class and watched 59 kids for 3 hours go nuts at Flipz USA; I am paying for that today, but that I was even able to make it through was amazing.

Today I am resting because I am tired out and my body is responding to the tiredness. BUT…I feel better than I did!!! God is working in my body. I don't know what the next set of treatments will be like, but I am not worried about tomorrow - I am enjoying today.

The Fierce Warriors

As I was itching my first tic bite of the year I thought about writing a post entitled "I Hate Tics." Considering I live with Lyme Borreliosis, I could give a thousand reasons for hating tics. Then it occurred to me that there is something I  respect about tics; they are Fierce Warriors.
They are...
Terrific Hiders - They like to hide in dark, warm places of your body such as your armpit, head, or crotch. If you start itching you better make sure you haven't been attacked.
They have...
Ruthless Weapons - Once they bite you they can fill your blood stream with all sorts of bacteria. If you are infected you will feel fatigue and other flu like symptoms.
They don't die easy...
Wounded but not Dead - You may think you have removed the tic but, indeed if you did not use the proper tool their head may still be stuck inside your body. In which case they can still infect your blood.
Just when you think the battle is over...
Leaving Their Mark - If you have been infected by a tic carrying Lyme and you don't catch the symptoms in time you may end up with symptoms that are difficult to diagnosis, treat, and in some cases re-appear.
