A little about me: I have had lyme disease for at least 10 years. I was misdiagnosed for the last nine years. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2004 and after that my rheumatologist and internist did not seem to take my complaints of pain and clobbering headaches seriously. In fact, one doctor told me I had to get used to the pain. Fast forward to today....I am about 90% better and on my way to 100% . In a nutshell, I was finally properly diagnosed with lyme disease, bartonella , erlichiosis, and babesia. I also had two viruses thanks to my compromised immune system. It took about eight months for me to see significant positive results. During the course of treatment I slowly gained my energy, the fog began to clear, and the pain lessened. I am happy to share this experience because if I can get better, there is hope for you, too.

Connie,
That is so wonderful that you are fully recovered now. I hope that diet makes you feel great! I am curious to how it will affect you. I am on my 4th week of "herbal antibiotic" treatment along with weekly Ondamed treatment adn Meyers I.V's. The first week was a nightmare, just about paralyzed I was so weak. What treatments helped you the most in your recovery?

Thank you. As I continue my research and read some of the personal stories . I am convinced that I do have Lyme and that I will get over this once I find the right doctor. I wish you the best of luck on your way to 100% recovery!

Hi Connie ,
Thanks forthe info on Covenant.I was diagnosed with Lyme's in 2003 and treated for it with 4 weeks of antibiotics. Since then I now have Transverse Myelitis , a spinal cord disorder, with 2 lesions in my spinal cord. I also have headaches and stomach issues. I have sent blood work to IGenex lab for the entire lyme's panel . If it comes back neg , do you think I should pursue the Lyme's or just put it behind me ?I have so manyhealth things going on now. Really ready tomove on .
Thanks, Danielle ( Momnace ) 770-716-7053
