Lyme Disease is brutal and cruel Biggest battle of my life

[@jtknight4647]

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

[@bondinho6114]

He died from Lyme disease?

[@WhiskeyTango68]

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. 💚

[@keving7942]

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.

[@andywilliams6103]

For how many months you have used olive leaf extract and garlic?

[@Lizzieverse]

You saying it actually got better over time gives me a little hope. But the thought of living like this for possibly decades more seems impossible. Glad you are doing better!

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.

[@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! 🥺

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

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

I got Lyme disease in 1986. It took 27 years to get properly diagnosed. I've had Lyme now for 37 years. Lyme destroyed my jaw joints. I've had 3 major jaw surgeries and one was a total jaw joint and mandible replacement. It was a 9 hour surgery with 2 surgeon's. I still have Lyme symptoms and antibiotics have not helped. I haven't been able to get help for the severe pain I have.

[@CryptoBenjiii]

Fake News , paid Actors, what really happened to him.

[@jiayouchinese]

Sorry but their information is really lacking. First, the CDC test is highly flawed and misses at least 30% of cases because it has a very high rate of false negatives. The test is basically garbage, and you can't even reliably test for Babesia or Bartonella since the tests also don't work well and don't test for many strains out there. Secondly, Lyme disease is only one part of the issue, because when it's bad there are usually co-infections, the most typical being Babesia, Bartonella, and Anaplasmosis. Babesia and Bartonella are very difficult to wipe out, and usually cause worse symptoms than the Lyme, and grow fast where Lyme will grow slowly. Antibiotics don't work too well for chronic Lyme and typically for chronic lyme herbal treatments and alternative therapies are needed because it needs to be hit from many angles. Dr. Marty Ross is one of the best to listen to for advice on dealing with Lyme. It's not an easy road. It will be one of the hardest battles of your life if it turns chronic.

They are pointing to depression induced by chronic disease(Lyme in his case) so the info his wife has could likely be about suicide.

[@starshine3588]

@@jtknight4647She claimed they had information….she didn’t say they found his body and if they had found his body it would have been announced. And you can’t assume suicide without a body…you can’t assume death without a body especially when he’s only been missing a week. If he had been missing for several years then that would be more understandable…but even then it’s not definite without a body. Many people “go missing” every year but they aren’t dead they just left to get away from their situation and some cross the border into Mexico to “disappear”. There are parents whose children have gone missing and those parents never give up waiting and they don’t assume they are dead…they keep waiting….and there have been some cases where those children have been found many years later because they escaped their captor. But this lady gives up after one week even though his body hasn’t been found over some “information”….information that could have been staged by him. Without a body he shouldn’t be declared dead in this short time…he could be wandering around injured or something.

[@roxannem2208]

Depression and anxiety are the most common symptoms of Lyme disease. And suicide is the number one cause of death among chronic Lyme sufferers.

[@ariloves10]

Why on earth did he move to the city? Why would a well paid successful radio personality with a gorgeous wife commit suicide?

[@sarahMuahahaha]

​@Kristine Kosmides because Lyme causes a lot of inflammation in the body/brain. He could've had a more pronounced case of neuroborreliosis. I have lyme and I can tell you first hand that it changes your mood/thoughts. People with lyme can have homicidal or suicidal thoughts and sometimes both. For me it's suicidal. I also have morgellons (which has been linked to chronic lyme) and that really makes you want to kill yourself.
