LYME DISEASE ... My TRUE story

[@crueltyfreecruella]

Just because other people have worse problems doesn’t mean your problems are any less valid 💕

[@MishaGrimes]

erosemakeupx took the words straight out my mouth 😭🥰

[@hayleymyddelton9782]

Saying people don’t deserve to be down because others have it worse, is the same as saying people don’t deserve to be happy because others have it better ❤️

[@MishaGrimes]

Hayley Myddelton wow that puts things into perspective 😅

[@daniellearrabito8853]

I have had Lyme Disease for 16 years now. I'm battling with a relapse right now and wanted to hear someone else's story. This has helped me so much it's ridiculous. I want you to know that you are so so strong and it's okay to take a day to yourself. Thank you for sharing your story

[@AJTEphraim]

Any update? How are you now?(:

[@KatieFrancis]

YESSS to raising awareness of your chronic illness/lyme disease, i know you said you shared your story before but i never saw that one! Loved watching this, its good to hear other people chronic illness stories, i hope to share my story one day!! xx

[@MishaGrimes]

Katie Francis thank you so much 🥰

[@crueltyfreecruella]

I know what you mean about feeling like an entire length of time has been blocked out, I have a chronic illness (M.E) and I’ve had it for 3 yrs and even though it’s quite bad now, I don’t remember how I was for the first year which was the worst and the only memories I have from it are from my mum and things I’d written at the time. Thank you for talking about this publicly because I know it’s difficult to talk about these things and relive the situation especially when your brain has blocked a lot of it out especially trying to get it tested because they think it’s everything else and have no way to test for it you just have terrible symptoms that you have no clue why and it’s a really scary situation. You’re so strong💕

[@maddih4784]

erosemakeupx I have ME too and it’s been almost 3 years since I was diagnosed. It’s horrible and been at school with a chronic illness is so hard. Especially that there is no way to actually diagnose it so you are sort of always wondering and people still don’t take you seriously x

[@molliecooper596]

I’ve was diagnosed 5 years ago. And I can’t remember the first 3 years of being diagnosed other than being In and out of hospital having millions of tests & scans. /: hope your not crashing to hard at the moment!

[@MishaGrimes]

Thank you all for sharing your stories!! It’s soo important to discuss these topics because everyone than realises they aren’t alone ❤️

[@nadiabulzacchelli4290]

Hi darling. I have severe ME too and I am waiting for my private lab results for Lyme , they are highly suspecting it is what has caused my ME. Have a look at AONM and Armin labs my lovely xxxx

[@marykreidler5504]

I loved hearing this story! I was diagnosed with Lyme when I was 1 1/2 years old- I’m 16 now and I am in remissions. I have lots of issues still but I’m finding a lot of ways to deal with it still. Some of the issues include daily joint pain, stomach pain, and lots of mental health issues. My boyfriend who I’ve been dating for a year and a half has crohns and has helped me so much and has been an amazing support system! I want you to know that you are supported and loved and your story is so important! You are 100% allowed to struggle and feel the way you feel and nobody can take that away from you. It’s your experience and your life- not anybody else’s! I’m proud of having Lyme Disease. I’m proud of being who I am and who I’m becoming because of my circumstances in life... I’m proud of you for talking about this and supporting the autoimmune community! Thank you for sharing your story! Best wishes!

[@Abbiegill6]

Misha I'm so proud of you for telling your story. Thank you x

[@sharont9461]

I think vlogs like these are so important, not just as a cathartic session for the person making them, but it also shows others that they aren’t alone. Chronic illness still has such stigma to it as not all disabilities are visible. I’ve suffered with a form of arthritis since the age of 18, I’m now almost 40 and still get stared at for parking in a disabled parking space, challenged by so called fellow chronic sufferers, as I don’t look ill enough. Thank you for sharing your story. It’s raw and emotional, but may just help someone else to not feel alone. I only wish I was brave enough to make my own. X

Thank you so much for doing this video, I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome when I was 12 and it affected me so much. I know this isn't lymes disease but it has similar symptoms and to see you today helps me cope so much. Sometimes when I have panic attacks I can put on some of your videos and shut everything else out helping me calm down. This video not only raises awareness but shows your audience how everyone is human. Thank you so so much. ❤️

[@MishaGrimes]

Elizabeth Wheeler wow Thank you from the bottom of my heart 😭❤️

[@christielynn2557]

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us! I had Lyme disease for 3 years. I got sick when I was 16. When you talked about being 15/16 and not knowing what was going on and being so sick and confused really hit home and reminded me of my Lyme story. I wish you many well years ahead of you! Keep sharing your story, you are helping and inspiring so many people! Much love 💕

[@jessicaturner2596]

You are very brave to share your story. I was born with lyme disease. It took me 35 years and 2 tick bites to get diagnosed. I completely lost my mind. Im so much better now. It just does do so much to you. Its very lonely. Even though I lost so many things, like my ability to count, one of the hardest things for me was when I gained weight. I had always been so small. I was so embarrassed by how much weight I had gained. So I completely understand how you feel.

[@MishaGrimes]

Sending lots of love 💕

[@nieve1258]

I can’t thank you enough for this! I really needed to hear your positive outcome as it’s something I’m struggling with with the illness which I have. You and your videos really inspire me and I think you and your Mum are amazing people. ❤️

Hello, For eighteen years, I have suffered from Lyme Disease! Most people have no idea what this disease does to one’s health. Your story is important! Thank you for helping to spread the truth about Lyme Disease.💚

[@actualizedalchemy6849]

Thank you for sharing your story, I myself have Lyme Disease and it’s refreshing to see videos like this. There aren’t enough people in this current time making videos and seeing someone young like me talk about it makes me feel a sense of community. Sending love.

[@tytodreads]

IT's so lovely to see this side of you. Usually you're so bubbly and 'rawr' (if that makes sense!) and whilst we love you for it,It's really refreshing to see the human side too. Well done for opening up.

[@LydiaGraceLGXO]

Well done for sharing your story, you’ve been through a lot and it’s totally natural and okay to pay attention to that. It’s a really inspiring video, I’ve got Epilepsy not Lyme disease but it’s still encouraging to see videos like this about other chronic illnesses to raise awareness of them in general! 💗

[@alicecatherine9116]

i’m so sorry to hear this. it must be so hard and just because someone else’s problem is harder doesn’t mean yours isn’t awful. you’re allowed to have your problems. i’m so sorry that must be very hard to deal with love you xx

alice catherine Thank you from the bottom of my heart 😭❤️

[@lauraaura2367]

Hey misha, I’m sending you so much love & hugs sweety 🦄 I have autoimmune diseases & can relate to feeling powerless. & to how you feel. I’m struggling with grieving for my old self, (ambiguous loss) I miss my happy healthy self. I didn’t realise one day I would wake up & never get better. “Tough situations don’t last but tough people do”. Good mantra 🥁 Your an absolute inspiration, thank you for sharing a piece of your life, your always so genuine courageous, & honest. & i sincerely appreciate how hard it must of been to open up about something so personal, I think having a chronic illness makes you feel eternally grateful for the good days, it’s hard, and exhausting, but your showing us poorly souls that even though we all have these battles we can still win the war, remember misha, your feelings are important, never deny yourself or feel bad because someone else’s suffering is worse, we’re all struggling in our own unique way & your feelings are paramount. Thinking of you. XxxxxxxxxxxxX 🦄💖🦄

Didn't think I could love you any more but then you go and create this video... how brave of you and how well said. I can't believe how rude people can be when commenting on others.

[@mrsbrownsboys81]

Misha you are so brave to talk about this, and bring awareness too. I can relate in alot of ways. Although I don't have Lyme disease. I have a gene mutation called pten that can cause cancer and non cancerous growth on and inside your body, I have to have yearly checkups, well 6 month thyroid scans and blood test, as I have a nodule on my thyroid, so the doctor said it's not if but when I will have no thyroid left, and will have to go on thyroxine for life!! Some people have had to have their thyroid removed, I am also supposed to have breast screening, and a camera up where the sun don't shine too 😁😳😳😔 but I'm too scared, I have low moods, says where I sleep for 12 hours, and still feel tired and go back to bed. My weight I really struggle with, I was slim my whole life, almost too slim, and I'm tiny at 5"1 so now I'm not slim anymore and I hate it. My gallbladder had to be removed last summer so watch out for that, as thyroid and gallbladder are linked. I have two children, my oldest who is 9 has the pten gene, I found out about this gene five years ago. It's worrying and awful so I can relate in so many ways. Sending you lots of love and a massive hug xxx❤️❤️❤️ ps my cat had a massive tick when I was a teen, I removed it with tweezers yuk and throw it in garden, and I never knew they can carry Lyme disease ❤️❤️ your so honest and real and your bloody lovely, I cried when you cried, xxxxxxxxxx

[@Lazylin]

Tbh this made me respect you a lot more, listening to this, unfortunately sometimes people who seem to have easy lives always makes me almost resent them a bit.. Not because there's anything logical in it, but just watching someone who seems to have an "easy" life just makes me so extremely jealous. Personally suffer from a lot of chronic problems as well, and I can barely get out of the house + I eat around 20-30 pills per day. My life revolves around the pain, and at times it gets extremely exhausting. But ofc I know not to judge people by how they seem, regardless of that it happens sometimes, and you with your easygoing ways it makes it hard to see the "human" behind it all, if you understand what I mean. I'm glad for the story, although I'm really sorry for your suffering

Especially your younger fan base. Almost want to say I am proud that you did came out with this, it is hard and you don't have to think that your situation is worse than someone else. It might be or it might not. But your problems do matter regardless. Really sat down for this one.

[@nowayhosay50]

Poor girly, stay strong. I actually watched a documentary about 6 months ago called Afflicted on netflix, some of the people in that show suffered lyme disease and it affected them in such extreme ways. It must be difficult.

[@marlenevrs]

I got lyme disease when I was really young and hardly remember a thing that happened, except how my parents realized I had been bitten when my mum found the bite on my back. I also had a immune disease at the same time, and it’s so easy to just suppress the memories of that time and I just have basically no memory of what happened. It’s weird because my parents and family would talk about me being ill, and it’s like they’re talking about someone else. I’ve only recently started thinking about how it affected them, like my mum told me how my brother (whose a year and a half older) would sit by my bedside at night and pray that I would survive, but I have no memory of this.. People generally just don’t understand diseases and that’s kind of how I would never tell people what happened to me as a child, because they just started avoiding me (when I was about 10 this happened) and it so badly scarred me that I hate talking about it. Thank you for making this video, it’s nice to know that there are other people who went through the same situation and makes me not feel so odd and alone all the time, because people don’t always understand.

It was a hard time and it shaped me as well and it did to you.There are some consenquences like with my joins of legs because tick bit there. But lets be positive!! There are so many spectacular things in life that we must enjoy! P.s. and yes I agree that some people don' t know when they judge your why you are the way you are

I have Chronic Lyme Disease. I always had symptoms from the day I was born but never got a proper diagnosis until I was bedridden when I was 15. My mom has Lyme disease as well and I always had the same symptoms as her but doctors always thought I had PTSD from seeing her so sick throughout my childhood so they thought I was imitating her. But 15 years later there is more research that has said that I got it from her while she was pregnant with me. I use to have almost every Lyme symptom and treatments always made it worse. I now only treat the symptoms rather than trying to get rid of it. I feel so much better. I mean I still don’t live a “normal” life however I’m working my way there. I’m just sharing my story so you know you are not alone in your fight. I also have similar symptoms as you do and get flare ups during stressful times

Misha I can totally relate I have rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis arthritis and have so for 26 years diagnosed at 18 - it brings other probs with it too and the only good thing is to have positive attitude that’s what I love about you sometimes you just have to get on with it and tell yourself there is always someone worse off although I don’t like saying that go you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I contracted lyme recently a few months ago from a tick that had been on me for days. A few weeks later I got the bullseye rash and started doxycycline. Now a few days after finishing treatment, I feel worse and very fatigued and really bad insomnia. I've felt sick, like the flu and i'm trying to do my research now. The pain is awful. I'm worried this will affect me forever and I just want to say thank you for sharing your story. It makes me feel a bit better, i guess.

[@BeatsbyBuggy]

@TIRED OF LYME I've been on it for 2 and a half months now and my doctor pretty much gave up

[@biancaacquaviva1943]

loved this video x SO IMPORTANT and so insightful xxxxx

[@beinguniquebeingmeeve]

Great way to raise awareness Misha 💖

[@anioviedo7781]

I have lyme and I have 13 it is difficult to understand since it is a very difficult disease, my joints hurt too much and I can not get close to sick people because I get sick .. it is exasperating but I have learned to live with it and I am happy of it

[@makaylamaki58]

I’m so happy you told us this. Xx

[@Kattynow18]

Iv got an under active thyroid disease. People don’t see that anything is wrong cause I’m bubbly and happy most of the time but recently had time off work and people just think nothing is wrong cause it doesn’t show and isn’t catching. I look young and healthy but if they lived in my body then they’d understand so totally get you x

[@MishaGrimes]

katty elizabeth soo accurate ❤️

[@harrietleman4994]

Bless you hun your so brave and such a strong person xxx

[@jessmolloy4500]
