   You don’t get it until you get it…Lyme Disease or should they call it Co-Lyme Disease because you can get over 300 bacterial/parasitic infections with it. My 5 year old 1st diagnosed with Lyme and then again at age 7. Missing 1/2 a year of school and then the next year attending on the average 2 hours a day. It effected her brain, panic attacks, aggressiveness, mild-moderate psychotic impairment yet her IQ is high, heard voices, and as time went on saw hallucinations, her ability to walk in the morning, joint and muscle pain, stomach pain, headaches (was something she always had on various parts of her head daily from pre-K on, fibromyalgia. She was very ill, overlooked by specialists at 3 top hospitals, until we were convinced to seek out ILADS doctors. Wow. Talk about a miracle eventhough it was a long hall. No question you need a specialist and will be convinced if you have a child that is very ill and not getting further diagnosis except for Lyme (hard enough on its own). My daughter was diagnosed with Lyme Disease but it took a specialist for Lyme Disease to discover that she had 5 bacterial and parasitic infections. Diagnosed with Lyme, Babesiosis Ducani WA1, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Bartonella, and one unknown bacteria. OK, then my 6 year old son was starting to show signs of Lyme and I took him to an infectious disease person to at least get some initial work done. Well the ID doc would not even give him a blood test let alone one for lyme. My son had an ER lesion but not in the shape of a bulls eye and I didn’t think to bring him at that time so the doc did not see that but I told her about it. Then she became indignant so I made the appt. with our Lyme specialist and wow, Lyme Disease. Enough of doctors, hospitals, and disrespect for me and my family. Mom too went for a test and I have Lyme and Bartonella. I was in misbelief, how could I have Lyme Disease myself when I had a bulls eye a year prior, treated for 20 days on antibiotic, told it was caught early, and by the way you do no have Lyme Disease. Case closed or so I thought. I was treated for 3 months on oral antibiotics eventhough I thought, no not me. I started herxing which are symptoms of infection being brought out. I had fevers off and on almost everyday for 2 1/2 mths, great fatigue, increased blurred vision, fibrillations, hip and leg joint pain, odd tension like headaches on different parts of my head, in and out of sleep on the couch all day just about, and over the summer I lost my ability to walk on my right knee and went to the hospital because my blood pressure dropped to 80/57. Now most symptoms have subsided but I am on IV due to brain fog and short term memory and still have blurry vision in one eye. I didn’t quite believe it and my husband was surprised that an IV was put on the table. But since I was having judgment problems driving and she said I was forgetful my husband totally agreed with the forgetful part. Now on IV I am wiped and my brain does feel foggy but I think it is in the right direction. OK, hindsight my symptoms got worse after the birth of my first child. Now they are saying I gave my 2 kids their first Lyme through breast milk. I was diagnosed 28 years ago for Bartonella but no treatment was given. While herxing my stange headaches came back and I really believe I have had Lyme Disease for years. All I can say is now I get it. I see many friends who have had Lyme or are showing symptoms and they don’t get that they need a specialist. Who would listen to me when their trusted doctor is taught that less than a month of antibiotic treatment is enough. Someone went to my specialist having had lyme and symptoms for 20 years. She had gone to other specialists but it was this doctor that discovered she had Babesiosis and feels that it was her extensive lab work (usually 3 labs) that reveal the most. Dr. Kristine Gedroic. A specialist for Lyme is the most educational thing you can do. What saved my daughters life was and still is antibiotics, herbals, gluton-free natural foods, no sugar, biofeedback for headaches, and physical therapy for the fibromyalgia. Now we are getting somewhere. Now I get it, I totally get it and you don’t get it until you get it. 🙂

   there are many bio engineered components to this disease complex ie bioweapons that were released on us… the blo is the bioweapon form of bart and it takes more than antibiotics to kill it, as do many other pathogens…. the two partys agreed along time ago and made laws that bioweapon testing is a good thing to do on the unsuspecting and trusting citizens of the usa, check out the bioweapon testing laws. it made the plague legal to spread… a lot of the disease is being manufactured… I had to work with the healers via a medium as no doctor could figure any of this out. I took much of dr horowitz research and ran it by the healers to help cure me… there are many pathogens involved in this disease. right now doctors are missing key elements like stealth viruses, viteria, and bioweapon components… plus there is usually metal and toxic elements poisoning as well…. it takes a group of doctors in many modalities, ones own research, and accessing the healers via a medium to really help to unravel all of this…. it did for me. there is a lot of ful play involved in the cdc here as well in covering the man made plague up. its still being spread by unsavory sources along with other plagues like morgellons…. people don’t like to talk or hear about the dirty truth but with out such you cant get well or know whom the real enemy is….. I vote green party now, see the bioweapons testing law and who brought that law to be… eye opener, all confirmed by a higher source……
