I've been struggling with Lyme disease and co-infections (Babesia, Erlichia) for the greater part of 8 years. I got acutely sick my freshman year of college, and was forced to drop out. I spent the next 3 years in bed with severe cognitive impairment; I was unable to concentrate enough to read, and was sleeping 14-16 hours a day. I have very few recollections of that time period. I finally found a doctor able to diagnose the Lyme, whom I attribute my current health to. It took 1.5 - 2 years of oral antibiotics and Babesia treatment to be regain my cognitive function and start my life again. It took 2 more years to feel like I had regained the better part of my health. Finally I was considered in "remission", and waned off the treatment. Recently, after a long period of reemerging symptoms and recurring illnesses, I needed to start treatment pulses again. My doctor did a DNA test that yielded interesting results, with specific interest in my Methylation & detox profile. I have multiple mutations in genes relating to the methylation process (MTRR, MTHFR, MAO, and VDR), which have negatively effected my immune response, antioxidant creation, and cell repair. I'm currently in the process of supplementing those specific deficiencies, which will hopefully increase the effectiveness of the treatment protocol and my ability to fully heal. Even though I'm still in treatment, I've come a long way from when I was acutely sick. I'm trying to find ways to help others get through that process...don't hesitate to reach out if I can be of any help.
