Wasn't Expecting This. Finally...a Diagnosis.

#HomeFreeAlaska #OffGrid #Alaska
For 4 years I've been experiencing odd symptoms. Struggling at times because they were debilitating, painful & left me feeling like I was going crazy. After years of no answers from several doctors, I took matters into my own hands and hired a private naturalistic doctor to conduct extensive testing and labs on me. In today's video, I'm sharing my results. While it's not good & certainly not what I wanted to hear, I am glad that I finally have answers. It turns out that I am positive for Lyme disease + 4 other bacterial infections...all of which were passed to me via a TICK bite from an infected tick. Lyme bacteria travels throughout the body & can affect all of your systems to include neurological, cardiac etc., It's slowly been multiplying & traversing my body for 4 years that I know of (going off of when symptoms started). Now, I have to work with my doctors on a path for recovery. Thanks for watching & as always we appreciate your continued support of our family & our KZbin channel. Cheers...

I get so sick and tired of doctors saying to women we are just suffering from anxiety. Very frustrating. Take care.

[@susansmith493]

Many women ARE complaining of depression and anxiety AND on meds for it.

[@deecee901]

Or fibromyalgia

[@Bella-gj6wc]

Well there’s that and then not having the most up to date info on things like cholesterol. My doc has no clue what to do about cholesterol except to give you meds if the numbers are elevated. Turns out an LDL of 192 isn’t only elevated; but it’s not entirely a bad thing. I’ve decided to see a cardiologist to see what their advice is BEFORE I even think about going on any poison for my “elevated cholesterol”. There’s no heart disease in my family, and am following KETO, so my cholesterol is not going to go down unless I return to the standard American diet, which I’m not going to do. Good luck! ❤️

[@aaronrobinson7053]

Sorry to hear about your struggles. I have a similar story, with a progression of a multitude of strange and debilitating symptoms. After back and forth with lots of mainstream doctors over a year with no answers (just them trying to throw meds at it), I finally got connected with a natural doctor and got a Lyme Disease diagnosis. The journey continued, but I ended up finding Dr. Liebell in Va Beach who had a very different approach at dealing with Lyme. It was easy, not invasive, a bit strange, and a lot less expensive approach than the original natural doctor but was still all out of pocket. However, I went from thinking I was going to have to quit my job and will be in a wheelchair, to I'm 95% back to normal after about 8-12 months. So very grateful. I would not do antibiotics at this point. It's too late. Stay natural, and keep praying. God is so good.

My son was diagnosed with Lyme disease. Took forever to get a diagnosis. We went to so many doctors. His doctor told him that everyone says “ I can’t believe a bug can do all this damage”. I even said it. But the thing is, is that this bug is infected with so much disease it’s sickening. My son was diagnosed 10 yrs ago and still suffers with different issues, to many to get into.

[@dianeroscoe11]

I'm so sorry, Tina. When I heard you describing the symptoms, my first thought was Lyme disease because my daughter has been going through this for years. It took over 10 years for her to get her chronic Lyme diagnosis and other doctors wrote her off just like yours did. It has taken tons of research, trial and error and money trying to heal her from this. She was also diagnosed with CIRS (chronic inflammatory response syndrome) and her CIRS is genetic, which makes it harder for them to clear the Lyme because of the CIRS. She has leaky gut, problems with gluten, and on and on, just like you. She also takes a natural approach to her health and has switched to a Carnivore diet to help control her CIRS and Lyme. She had lost her mobility for years because of her excruciating neck and upper back pain but thankfully she can drive now and has come a long way. I wish you the best and will keep you in my prayers as I know the pain and frustration that goes along with Lyme Disease. Hopefully you feel some peace as you finally have the answer as to why you have felt this way and now you can move forward. Using your platform and describing in detail your symptoms will help others in their own Lyme journey. Bless you! You are a strong woman and will defeat Lyme!

[@clcowar09]

Yes, glad your daughter is healing, praise God! I also was going to mention the carnivore diet. Dr. Ken Berry wrote a book about what the doctor's won't tell you, the lies they was taught and push..he's an out of the box doctor. Anyway, he has his own fb page and youtube channel. Dr Ken Berry endorses carnivore for healing the body and his wife has Hoshimoto disease. His wife calls her diet ketovore, she does both. They have a fb live I believe on Monday night. Check out his videos and be encouraged. Dr Berry lives the carnivore life. Tina we love you and your family. Remember Jesus is the balm of Gilead, our healer and protector. May God bless you, and keep you and shine His face upon you and be gracious to you, and the Lord will lift up His countenance to you and give you peace. Amen Amen Numbers 6:24-26.

You have my sympathy. My brother was bitten by a tick last summer, and he didn't know until he was sick he was rushed to the hospital and they found it in the bottom of his back. No idea how long it was there. Also had multiple infections,as well as the Lyme Disease. He was always very healthy, but he was in and out of the hospital multiple times with the infections. Over a period of 4 months he was back and forth in hospital and ultimately the antibiotics wouldn't work anymore, and he passed away on Nov. 11, 2023, which is rather significant , it being Veterans Day and he was a Marine. My heart goes out to you and your struggle with this disease. It is very dangerous to be bitten by a tick, most especially when it isn't treated immediately. I will be praying for you and your health . God bless you. Just know God is holding you in the palm of His hand. ❤❤

Watching this brought me to tears because I relived my Lyme Journey through you. I was misdiagnosed for over 8 years, told I was depressed, had anxiety, etc. I came to find out one of my very first symptoms, panic attacks, are a classic Lyme symptom. When I finally found a doctor who believe me and knew about Lyme and finally diagnosed it was too late for a cure and I too have chronic lyme along with bartonella and babesia, and host of other autoimmune and neurological issues caused by it. I did wind up on massive doses of antibiotics but it didn’t clear it. I also did herbal treatment using Japanese knotweed, houttuynia, sida acuta, just to name a few. I will tell you that, even though this sounds insane, I get flare ups nearly every full moon and new moon. I was told it has something to do with the bacteria’s reproductive cycle. Whether that’s the reason I don’t know but for me it’s like clockwork for a flare. I pray you are able to get your symptoms under control.

You know, Tina, for over a year now, I've been asking myself how in heaven you were able to handle everything! Sometimes I don't comment just because I don't want you to use your energy in answering back.When I discovered your beautiful channel, it made me reflect on my own experiences, like the time I spent nine whole months living in the jungle. But right now, my focus is on you. Remember, you will do what is best for yourself, and we, your followers, will always be here to support you. You truly are a unique individual, and I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason, something you understand better than anyone else. You are blessed, and you bring blessings to all of us. I can only reassure you that you can find peace in knowing that you are doing what is best for the best of reasons and everybody knows that. WE ALL LOVE UUUUU!!!

[@summerrain7466]

I am so sorry you've been going through this. Our health care system is horrible. I went through very similar symptoms for nearly 6yrs with doctors saying things like "You have anxiety" (turns out I have a heart Murmur), "You just need to exercise more, do more stretches" (MRI showed 2 bulging discs and a slipped disc), "Welll, women of a certain age...." (I was 45. And have since been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and a neurological disorder). So, I understand your frustration and disappointment with the "care" you have received. Good for you sticking to your guns and seeking "out of network" help. I wish you all the best!

Hi, Tina! First time viewer! Now a subscriber! I was saying Lyme within a few minutes of watching! I have had it for 31 years! Never saw a tick. But had two bullseye rashes. Back then they did the Elisa test. Came back negative! You’re negative, bye…see ya! That is a very unreliable test! Fast forward 13 years. I was life flighted with Guillain-Barre, paralyzed from the neck down. Spinal tap showed Lyme! Was treated with oral abx & was good for a year. Then the symptoms started coming back. I’m chronic. Just lately hubby & I have tested positive for coinfections! He had Babesia & I had Bartonella. No ticks. We started going to counseling before we knew, because he got ‘Lyme rage’ so bad! He was irritable & irrational! Rough going, but we got thru it! We’ve been married 46 years. Hang in there! Lyme can also be transmitted sexually & during pregnancy! Partners should both be treated at the same time. I think that anyone with weird symptoms should be tested! Or even yearly as part of a physical. It has been proven that Alzheimer’s, MS & Parkinson’s can be misdiagnosed Lyme! That would explain why there has been so many more cases of autoimmune diseases lately! I also developed food allergies lately too. Everything that gave me heartburn, I turned out to be allergic to! Go figure! I have flare ups two or three times a year. If I overdo it & try to do too much…bam! Plus, it seems from other people’s comments that flare ups are part of the life cycle. Or maybe seasonal? When we compare, we seem to be having flare ups at the same time. Still looking into this. Sorry so long! Hang in there. Do what you have to do. Would love to hear more & what all you are taking. You will help so many people!

Also, Lupus anticoagulant, have gone to the ER 3 times in that TIME PERIOD AND I'm having a scope in Aug. I lived in VA Beach for 35 years and was bitten numerous times by ticks.

You are an inspiration, and I will be following up with my doctor.

[@suehelm5889]

You need the thyroid test that uses an iodine capsule that is swallowed and you come back the next day and they track the capsule it tells them everything about your thyroid and how well it is functioning!! If you are getting anxiety attacks it could be coming from your thyroid! 95%of thyroid comes from your immune system attacking your thyroid!! Its goal to kill your thyroid as it’s dying your at risk for Graves’ disease. Huge symptom is anxiety! As it advanced raising pulse and heart palpitations that’s what causes the anxiety!! Ask for this test!

Hi Tina... I'm so so glad you finally have a diagnosis, I know before I was diagnosed with a few years ago, I felt like I was being fobbed off and almost give up trying to find answers. Then ONE nurse actually listened to me and done what needed to be done and bingo, I had answers and the care/meds that made my health much much better. I'll never be healed but God is doing what He needs to do with me and for me and that's good enough for me. My heart goes out to you in so many ways, positive and supportive ways and I know God will carry you through whatever journey He has you on. You are such a good, strong lady and I'm here for that! As for the neggies out there... that's their business, delete and block...even in life, ignore and leave. That's what I've come to learn in my life in recent years. It speaks so much about them, not you. Now, tell me why I've started a YT channel to put myself out there?!!! Lmao Well, because God made no shrinking violets, did He?!! I'm here for helping and reaching out to others, even if it's just one person it's all worth it. So...I love your videos, I love your lifestyle and I love your vibe...

He didn't seem to realize I lost my job because of my health and I didn't have makeup on because I wanted him to see the black circles under my eyes. I even had a hysterectomy when I didn't want one because of docs. Thank you for giving me hope. I don't think any of the docs I've seen have ever tested for Lyme disease. I pray for you.

@HomeFreeAlaska Wow! Thank you for replying back. You already have so much going on, I feel honored. 😁 However, I spoke with my doc today, and she says I've been tested for lyme and the other bacteria. I was negative on all counts. 😐 That's so crazy to me because you described my life exactly. Except for now, I'm having ocular migraines and vision problems on top of everything else. I'm extremely active. I have been my whole life. I work in an autobody shop doing the work of a man, and I can run circles around these guys. 😆 But dealing with the symptoms we deal with on a daily makes our quality of life suck sometimes. I'm only 48 years old. Ten medications are too many. So. I'm going to start checking out an herbalist in our area. And I'm going to keep praying. I know the Lord will do His will. But I want to say THANK YOU for your inspiration. You are more of a woman than I could ever imagine to be. So keep going. You are making a difference. 😁

He said it's negative. And lyme just isn't here where we live. My health has really gone done hill. Loss of energy, tired, muscle weakness, stomach pain, feel the tingling in hands and arms.

My wife and myself are both nurses for almost 30 years each. We moved to a homestead 3 years ago. Tick bites ALL the time. I had Rocky Mountain spotted fever two years ago. My wife had bullseye rash from tick bite a year ago. Treated immediately so hopefully nothing dormant. Due to a birth defect (they discovered when I was 14) I’ve had kidney disease all my life. Ran 21 marathons. (Boston twice yes qualified) Bike across Kansas, Nebraska,Missouri and Oklahoma. One year ago my kidneys finally failed and I started dialysis. Also diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Two back surgeries. I’m 57 now. I need a kidney transplant…tears are OK because Wrapping your head around a major health crisis isn’t something they teach you in high school or college to deal with!! Sadly, there is not an alternative medicine to restart or jumpstart the kidneys. I’m at the mercy of western medicine. Everything you have shared about you and your family, MOST FAMILIES go through the same!! People are struggling everyday and everywhere. TEARS are ok!!! You’re free to make a living too!! You HAVE to be your own advocate too!! Make calls, write letters, follow up!! DONT expect a broken medical system to be your advocate. It won’t!! If you do start conventional antibiotics. BE AWARE! The antibiotics used for Lyme will make your skin EXCEEDINGLY sensitive to the sun!! COVER UP!! Moving forward, keep doing what you’re doing. Get gluten free, NOW. Dairy free too most likely. Read the scriptures stay in church (I’m the church drummer) and remember marriage is a COVENANT we need to honor God with!! Tears are NORMAL! (That’s what one of my dialysis nurses told me one day when I was crying quietly to myself watching my blood circulate through the machine)…and keep reaching out to others who are struggling!!!

And here I was all set to feel envious of you, living your dream up there in beautiful Alaska. I can’t imagine what you are going through. Just neuropathy alone is so awful. I live in the northeast, can look out my windows at any given time and likely to see deer in my yard. I could stand in the middle of my yard, in regular grass, trees a good distance away, and a tick will just land on my arm - the little buggers are like trapeze artists, just riding the breeze. I’ve had dozens of deer tick bites, though the Bull eye rash only once. I remember going to the doctor and she oohed and ahhhed over how “perfect” and textbook it was, a beautiful example of the rash, she said it looked just like it was supposed to, and called all her colleagues in to see it….they took pictures of it….while I’m sitting there thinking, alrighty then, can you please just give me some f***ing antibiotics??? I never had any symptoms. The one thing that I think has saved me is that every tick bite I’ve had, they itch like hell, and that’s how I knew there was a tick on me and I was able to remove it quickly. All this just sounds so awful. The food we eat is so important, for sure, I REALLY believe that….but I’m a little skeptical of natural healing methods….especially when it comes to viruses and bacteria. I think it’s good that you are willing to try alternative methods, instead of just letting doctors put you on drugs to control symptoms, just be careful!! Wish you the best in this struggle.

I too was told I have ulcers in my stomach etc when the whole time it was anxiety. I went though 6 months of all day symptoms that changed from chest pains, tingly hands and feet, fatigue, squeezing of throat, lump in throat, head on fire, and etc so I completely understand In regards to your diagnosis, you don’t have to justify anything you tell or say about your health. You do you. I actually appreciate how forward and honest you are about yourself. You guys work so hard and we love being able to see into another persons livelihood. You be you girl!! Thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. Stay strong.
