Thank you for this video Jakki. We often use these generic terms to describe our illness like forgetfulness, poor concentration, etc.. So it was really nice to hear you explain exactly how it has affected your life. This is so hard I know but it sounds like you are on the right track. Hang in there and know I am here for you.

[andromaca07]

thanks.

i agree, the list of lyme symptoms doesn't really provide any accurate conception of what people living with the disease endure.

@superkman8900 Cure? Take long term antibiotics (not forever). The replication cycle of borrelia burgdorferi can only go dormant for so long. The lasting symptoms are from damage to nerves already accumulated. This can heal but takes a long time. Some things that will help are: lion's mane mushroom (proven to help grow myelin) and anti-depressants (neurogenesis for the hippocampus, which is what is responsible for your memory).

Lyme is curable!!! See also Dr. Klinghardt and his treatment protocoll!!!!!!! (German Doctor practising in the States! Expert! KLINGHARDT!!! see also Dr. Beck´s Protocoll!!!! The knowledge is there! And what about the Russians who under snake or tick bites gave a first aid shot of PROCAIN??? And then you wouldn´t get sick? Why is that knowledge not transfered on??? Every physician that cannot treat lyme fast should get kicked out of his/her job!!!! Google Klinghardt HPU / KPU, on youtube also!

I've felt like this too but I can't decide if it's lyme and it seems like finding a doctor to diagnose me is impossible.. Some days I feel lazy, but I can't decide if I am just mentally ill or have lyme

I have Lyme too and sometimes I want to jump for a train. I have a lovely husband and family so I don't do it,but Lyme hurts in the soul and body.

If we destroy the government we will find a cure.

I Was where you are now There is hope I was out of reality for over 6 mo I've been suffering for 5 yrs & AM getting better The cognitive abilities came back to me about 80% to 90%. Tindamax kills the cystic forms of the bactiria. Also cholostyramine helps remove the dead bacteria and their resulting toxins from the brain. Check with your Dr. as to dosages. And PLEASE don't listen to the Quacks (Reif and herbal nuts) Long term CONVENTIONAL antibiotics WORK!!!!

have you tried taking any teasel root extract?

[EndTimeHealerOfLight]

It's all a matter of time. Beautiful lady, you will be one again. You will be whole again. You WILL be alive again. Fight. Fight for it. And never stop fighting for it.

[EndTimeHealerOfLight]

I know it's all good and fine to speak words like that, but already you feel you have suffered enough. I know that feeling well, and any one who tells you to roll over and cope with what you're going through, is an enemy of your mind, body and soul. Never give into coping, the answer to your healing IS THERE. And if you say to HELL with this system and what it believes to be real, and you ask for the truth and you search with an open mind. Do that you WILL find what you're looking for.

[EndTimeHealerOfLight]

One of the worst things I've been through is the looks of judgment people get in their eyes when I don't perform a task properly based on my illness. Coming out and saying you're sick is not an option, because usually they don't believe you or think you are using it as an excuse. The systematic engineering of the way people treat each other is truly a thing of despair. But to be warriors of change, we need to feel the raw pain so that we really know why things need to change.

Thanks for sharing. Do you find that being in flourescent lights or out in the sun actually makes you feel worse?

Hope your memory picks up soon..

[LymeKerry]

I understand completely :(

We all have to stick together....

I am thinking.. at one point, we just may have to stand up and fight... make some kind of statement for something to actually change this...

My memory is not totally gone yet.. I can remember the ones who are doing this to us...

[artsyfart66]

I'm totally WITH ya on all of that, when it comes to Lyme Brain/losing my mind. What would i do without my calendar? Oy! I try to come up with various systems to help me remember things. Ex. turning pill bottles upside down after i have already taken my dose, etc... My dog thankfully lets me know when it is time to eat...she is very good about my whacky sleep schedule. Thanks to you & Thane for sharing...now i don't feel so alone in my brain Fog now. : )

[DaveCares54]

Your discription is so accurate, as Thane's was, I live the same life. Thanks you for sharing!

[ItalianStallionette]

I'm honey. I'm so sorry you're struggling. It's hard when an illness effects the brain. What's the next step for you? I'm thinking you both!

[peterpauliepan]

[Suzanne42]

I'm sorry you're struggling right now. This illness ebbs and flows, so hopefully your memory will come back around soon.
