  I have had all of the same symptoms since I was a young girl, with the exception  of asthma. I’ve always thought “I wonder if everybody feels this bad all of the time, or is it just me”. Thank You for this video, it helped me to confirm that what I’m feeling is real and I’m not out of my mind.

  Those of us who got Lyme without really trying hard and who have had a challenging time defeating the bacteria are more likely to agree with ILIADS.

  Your symptoms are nearly identical to mine. I'm newly diagnosed as I got sick enough to go to the ER and they tested me. I'm in misery and trying to keep a job I love. Sending healing prayers from Maine 🌊💙

  Your babies noises are music to my ears! How sweet! My son just found out he has Lyme Disease the day before his 17th birthday last week. We have been trying to find out what was wrong with him for a couple months or more & he ended up getting Bells Palsy on 7/3, we took him to the ER & even though he had marks on his body & we gave all his symptoms & we asked about Lyme, they blew it off as rare. They did prescribe antibiotics & steroids. But over the weekend he was getting worse, so the next Monday we took him to Urgent Care & insists they do blood work for Lyme. And sure enough, it came back positive. They prescribed a different antibiotic & told us to follow up with our primary Dr. Unfortunately, my Mom had a sudden aggressive cancer & passed this week, delaying us going to his Dr. Now its a week after we saw UC & his Palsy on the right side has gotten better, but now his face on the left side has started to get Palsy! His vision is blurry, he can't taste, his hearing is worsening…  he's had fatigue, sweats, chills, headaches, insomnia or extreme sleeping, low concentration, foggy minded, forgetful, can't hardly eat, losing interest in normal hobbies, & more through out this whole experience. He has his permit & even drove crooked into our yard, missing our driveway on night, because he just couldn't see clearly & lost his ability to perceive distance. We need to find a specialist! We live in South Central Ohio & he spends almost all his time outdoors, hiking, swimming, fishing in the country. He does remember having ticks on him a few different times. We have pictures of the circular or bullseye shapes on him in three different places; abdominal, wrist, & back. We are so disgusted that all the Drs we've been to never took it seriously, even when we pushed for Lyme testing. Insane!

  Thank you for putting this out there and helping raise awareness! A similar story to so many of us, I also had the evil trifecta of Borrelia, Babesia, and Bartonella.

  Been having issues with my inner ear/ dizziness problems for months.  Met a person who said there's a good chance I have Lyme disease. At first, I merely brushed him off as a quack and thought my doctors knew best.  After going from ENT to ENT and them dismissing it as allergies, I'm starting to give Lyme Disease a second look.  My biggest issue is cost. None of these LLMDs takes insurance and of course none of these places offer any type of discount/ payment plan.  Medicine is medicine I guess, and they only care about money.

  Thank you for sharing! You're so articulate and thank you for enlightening us about this disease that is more than common and overlooked by the main-stream physicians. More as it happens...
