My Lyme Story
My clients often ask me about me about my own experience with Lyme Disease. I have shared a summary of my story below.
2015
In May of 2015 I began experiencing an ever growing cascade of seemingly unrelated symptoms that began to affect my ability to function in the way I had been able to just months previously. I adopted various palliative therapies to address the symptoms, believing they were a confluence of over exertion and stress.
2016
By December of 2016 I found myself with, inexplicably, even more symptoms, ranging from headaches, blurry vision and random anxiety attacks to numbness in my legs and feet that impeded my ability to stand or walk for more than 15 minutes at a time. Concerned, I began to aggressively research and seek out medical answers for my deteriorating health.
​
By September of 2016 it became clear that something was seriously wrong. I made an appointment with my PCP and told her that, based on my research and my now more than 50 discrete symptoms, I was sure I had Lyme Disease. She ordered a Western Blot test, which came back negative.
For the next nine months, as the symptoms unimaginably began to mount. I saw numerous neurologists, endocrinologists, ENTs, ophthalmologists, neurosurgeons, cardiologists, dermatologists, and therapists of all kinds. I had dozens of MRIs, CT scans, X-rays, eye exams, vestibular tests, EKGs, EMGs and, of course, two additional Western Blot tests. All came back negative.
2017
By January of 2017 I was barely functioning and despite my insistence and my now more than 70 discrete and seemingly unrelated symptoms, my PCP refused to agree that I had Lyme disease. It was then that I took matters into my own hands. I ordered a series of tests from IGeneX and also made an appointment with a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor ( LLMD). In March of 2017 I was diagnosed with Lyme, and numerous other associated and opportunistic illnesses. My LLMD immediately started me on a heavy duty antibiotic regimen which I managed to follow, more or less, for almost eleven months. But, despite my LLMD’s best intentions and excellent training, not only was I unable tolerate this regimen, I realized that I was not making any forward progress in my healing, and the antibiotics were merely masking my symptoms
2018
In May of 2018 I amicably parted ways with my LLMD and began a new healing path with a Lyme Literate Naturopathic Doctor (LLND). After six months, I finally noticed that I was making some progress, albeit slowly.
Then in June, July and August of 2018, three different people suggested I try Biomagnetic Therapy. I was hesitant, for a myriad reasons, but at this point I was so desperate to get my health and my life back that I decided I was willing to try anything.
2019
In January of 2019 I had my first LMP Biomagentic Therapy treatment. Due to my extreme pathogen and symptom load we had to proceed slowly. By the end of the fourth month of treatment, when I was able to walk up the flight of stairs in my home without being completely winded, something I had not been able to do for the previous four years, I knew that magnets were working.
2023
I am now fully functioning and I have my life back. I continue to treat myself with Biomagnetism in order to optimize my health and also to proactively protect my body from any new and unwanted pathogens. My own success was the impetus for me to train and become certified in Biomagnetic Therapy, so that I can share this powerful healing modality with all who need it.
