What is Lyme Disease? // Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment & More!

[@royal.bumble]

I have not seen a lot of people outside of dedicated Lyme groups talking about it. It's really great to see! I found your videos through some EDSers but I'm very familiar with Lymies. My first chronic illness communities were the chronic Lyme communities and they hold a very special place in my heart. Seeing how much you've gone through, well, sending healing vibes your way. It isn't much but the way you approach everything with such grace and such a good attitude that I absolutely love. (I also binged some of your videos while I was bedbound yesterday waiting for my pain to break) I'm not near as poorly affected as many but I "won" the geographic lottery in that regard and it was part of a battery my paediatrician ran after I'd complained of joint pain for years and had started having neuro complaints. We lived in the Adirondacks in the US at the time, which is super well known for ticks. Much school missed and many antibiotics later I've less neuro symptoms (I think). I've quite literally had Lyme most of my life it's very hard to point to what's Lyme and what's everything else. I will say this video has given me a lot to think about in regards to the treatment of my (documented) post-treatment Lyme.

Ooh Stela, you've been through so much, but you have such a sweet personality, which is why I look forward to your videos. I don't have lyme disease but the information you gave was most valuable since I know how common it is. We hear about it often in the US yet know little about it. Thanks for sharing 💛

I was diagnosed with MS and actually had Lyme . I was given MS meds and got so sick I couldn’t walk. My primary doctor tested me for Lyme and it came back positive. I have had it for SO LONG that I fear it is permanent. I was treated but I also have many co-infections. I am taking a break from treatment at the moment. I have Chronic Neurological Lyme. Migraines, pain and burning all over, positive ANA, POTS, gastroparesis, vertigo. There are many more symptoms that I deal with on a daily basis.

I really enjoyed this video. It was so informative 😘😘🤗🤗

[@wraith8323]

Thank you for sharing, also living with Lyme 🤗

[@shibrina603]

Hey , i hope you ok since you have not uploaded any new vids for a year 😚

[@chrissulzdorf456]

very informative, concise video hun. Yes, Lyme is the worst of the worst. Hard to identify infection and often misdiagnosed. Your video is a much needed source of help to the 1000's of people unaware that they may be going through this. Brilliant video hun 💖💪💪💪💖

Your hair is beautiful ❤❤❤

Thank you! Perfect information, and very informative! I know all about this disease and I wish everyone would watch this video. I’m so sick with Lyme! I also have viruses that resurfaced from my compromised immune system. No idea when I got it, but I’m a gardener and was bitten by a tick, because I had a live protozoa in my blood. It’s exactly like malaria! I don’t ever remember any rash.

Hope you're ok Stella, it's been a while since you've been on here

[@KidCity1985]

I took Savella for 3 years, it was very effective. I have me/cfs. I learned about it from a lyme patent.

[@charlottestandage2765]

Are you okay Stela? Haven't seen you post in a while. Hope all is well! Xxx

I was on doxy for a year & it STOPPED working!!!❤ now on 2 antibiotics at 1 time!!

[@AimesSantos]

How did you test for it?

[@mandamoon13]

The medical malpractice from disease and illness is so horrible thank you for your video's. I have lyme,babesia,rmsf,ureaplasma,Ebv and tested postive for lupus its been incredibly intense in fear for my life for a long time now its soo hard to find a good llmd. Its so depressing that something so tiny can ruin a life. The amount of suffering with it is immense.

[@Tinyteacher1111]

Almost the same as I am!

[@vohndamiller4120]

Treatment for medical ptsd ? Any recommendations? Thank you
