Lyme Story

Please take the time to hear my story. I searched for 4 years, was misdiagnosed and dismissed countless times by doctors. I was misdiagnosed 10 times until I was finally tested for Lyme Disease and co-infections. I almost lost my life in the pursuit of answers while my body fell apart from this disease. Please watch to know you aren't alone and so you know you can heal through the help of a doctor educated in this disease.

Hey I'm the Sister :) So glad I sent you that text!! xoxo

Good job sticking with what you believe is right! I've recently been in a situation that felt similar to your feelings when those closest to you dismiss what you're saying, and even tell you that it's not happening or impossible. That hurts coming from someone you thought knew you for so long. It takes inner strength and discipline to do what you've done. You are a samurai of the American healthcare system! Good job again. Many people don't survive our American healthcare system!

This is the first 'Lyme story' on KZbin I could relate to. The first one also, where the person had actually been positively tested by Specialty Labs and I know you and your doctor are legit, since he's the same guy who finally diagnosed me, after going without a dx for 25+ years. Before that, Lyme wasn't even on my radar and I was often told I was just depressed, crazy, etc. Thanks for sharing! So many Lyme stories are by people with no testing or who had active Lyme. I have a strong desire to share my own, but I've been afraid it will affect my business reputation. You are brave.

Oh my god... My experience with doctors and Lyme babs and ehrlichosis are nearly identical. I've been living with it for over 25 years now. Also got the probable ms diagnosis and anxiety. If you ever need to talk to someone just reach out and I will gladly share or just listen. Thank you for this video. It is life changing but in some ways made me a much more compassionate person.

Jessica we are so proud of you. I don’t know how many times I’ve shared your video already but I won’t stop I think yours is one of the best description life is for us and I think it will wake people up. I’m going to do the best I can to get justice for all of us and I wish you all the best. And those of you out there who don’t have families like myself I’m fighting for you too. Because you’re my family, and I couldn’t wish for a kinder more beautiful family. It’s just so sad how we were brought together but together they have made it, many haven’t and for those who haven’t and for those who still stand a chance I’m going to fight for them. Sending love and hugs to every lyme Warrior out there. Some are fighting warriors some are wounded and some don’t even know they’re victims of a crime. It is such a cruel world but I think we bring a lot of beauty to it

You could have saved so much money if they just diagnosed you correctly early on and think of all the additional conditions you may not have had to go through with early treatment-something needs to be done!

[@kellygloris3369]

I feel you pain, I understand you and I'm so proud of you ❤️

[@deborahbressler8436]

Thank you for sharing this. My symptoms came on over many years. Finally got treatment after approximately 25 years. I feel you and am so happy your life has improved. I’m still on the journey. Some of the strains are in remission but more to come.

[@sarahmeyers2865]

You are so brave! I love you! YOU GIVE ALL LYME PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILY SO MUCH HOPE!❤

[@roseannbufalino3033]

Thanks for sharing your journey, brave warrior. So many common threads many of us share.my differences are that I am alone, no support, financially destitute. I still believe its my responsibility to help others. Tiring, but necessary to the right thing.

[@annahelmuth3681]

Thank you for sharing ! I am a lyme sister. Can relate to your story very much. Crying watching this. People dont understand if they haven't experience this nightmare. Thankful for my family support also. I wouldn't be here either.

[@michellehamilton4075]

Thanks so much for sharing!

[@juliezimmerman3450]

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so sorry for all that you went through. The medical community’s neglect of people with this disease is inexcusable. It makes me think of a field of ostriches with there heads in the sand. I’ve never sued anyone, but I wish I could take on the American Medical Association for their incompetence regarding Lyme Disease. I can’t imagine how different my son’s life would be if his pediatricians hadn’t brushed off his early symptoms.

Wow. We have very similar stories. I am most happy that you are on your path to recovery. You give me hope and validation for my personal journey and I thank you for sharing your story.

[@mandymariehandmade]

I've been going through this for like 10 years. I've been gaslit by medical professionals and family , but I'm finally seeing a functional medicine doc and I do have a positive lyme band, along with several mineral deficiencies. The type of anxiety almost seizure like experiences you are talking about sound a lot like what I believed were my first panic attacks. No history of anxiety before that and the onset was sudden. I struggle daily with physical and mental symptoms, a never ending list

[@mandymariehandmade]

I think I did develop anxiety and depression over the years from struggling with all of this and not feeling seen or heard, knowing that my body was screaming at me that something is very wrong

I am flowing love and admiration to you and I am so glad you are rising1

[@Kelly-ks1om]

I had 3 “negative” Lyme tests because the CDC guidelines state there have to at least 5 bands out of 10 to be considered positive. Now I’m living with the damage and struggle to get through the day. It has been a nightmare for me, my family and friends since 2005. I thank you for your awareness. Blessings to you Jessica.

[@JP-xs5lo]

That was so quick that it hit you mine did the same thing crazy ride never thought that this could happen are medical system is covering this up leading to this happening it’s there fault not yours you did your part they let you down we have to do something

[@truth_or_zero]

Wow! I've had the same treatment by many doctors. Dr. Cecile Jadin saved my life.

[@shiarafigoni1464]

I have this similar story. These doctor's are clueless, and should have there license taken away for lying

Very moving story and God bless you❤ have you trier Buhner's protocol? I also have lyme and it does wonders for me, please try as it is designed to treat lyme naturally ❤

[@breesechick]

Have you tried monolaurin to help your healing too? I take a lot of herbs in the Restore kit. I also take monolaurin, and Cryptolepis Sanguinolenta root. It's a journey, but I'm getting better. Sending hugs!

Always put the insect in a ziplock bag to get it tested for Lyme.

[@zozzleful]

we are NOT the same people . No we are not .

[@seanhunt2365]

I started getting neuropathy and symptoms like you after being vaxxxd . Can you please tell me the doctor you went to I can't find anybody to help me it seems like I have too many detox blockages and I think people are scared to treat me

[@michellehamilton4075]

You have no guilt-What is wrong with our health care system? It must be what the universities are teaching or not teaching!

[@gavinosolis6493]

Did it cause anemia for you?

[@mariah2765]

Hi, how are you feeling now?? Did you happened to feel strange stimuli in the brain?? I do. Practitioners blame anxiety, I never had this issue before. I am 32 years old. How is your memory and cognition now?

[@riseabovelyme2604]

Hi Mariah. Yes, I have had a lot of head issues. My original doctor also blamed it on anxiety, and tried to give me anti-depressants. My memory is much improved, but still not perfect. There is a ton of information about this on our Facebook group: Rise Above Lyme.
