My Personal Journey with Lyme Disease: An Eight-Year Battle for Answers

I never imagined it would take eight long years to uncover the root cause of my health struggles. Eight years of feeling trapped in a body that seemed to betray me every day, searching desperately for answers that were always just out of reach. My journey wasn’t just frustrating it was life-altering.Lovish Sharma

Misunderstood Illnesses and a Hidden Enemy

For years, I fought severe Dysautonomia and POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). Living in an area labeled as “non-Lyme,” the possibility of Lyme disease never crossed my mind. Doctors assured me Lyme was only a risk in certain regions of the USA or parts of Europe. I didn’t know mosquitoes, fleas, or even spiders could also carry Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria behind Lyme disease. This misconception left me suffering in the dark for years.

The Turning Point

The breakthrough moment came during a call with Joyce, a fellow practitioner I deeply trust. We played detective, methodically investigating every possible explanation for my Dysautonomia and POTS. Our checklist was exhaustive:

• Mercury and copper toxicity

• Hormonal imbalances and adrenal fatigue

• Epstein-Barr virus and Candida overgrowth

• MTHFR mutation and autoimmune conditions

• Neurological disorders like Chiari malformation and MS

• Heavy metal poisoning, mold toxicity, and more

Despite tackling each of these issues with detox protocols, diets, and supplements, I was still ill. Then Joyce asked, “Have you ever checked for Lyme?” That question changed everything.

The Diagnosis That Changed My Life

I ran a bioenergetic scan and was stunned to see Lyme disease and seven co-infections show up. After years of chasing symptoms heart pain, panic attacks, disorientation, and crushing fatigue the real culprit finally revealed itself. Lyme wasn’t even on my radar, yet it was the hidden thread tying all my illnesses together.

Lyme Myths That Kept Me Sick

“Many Lyme patients struggle with misdiagnosis,” and I was no exception. I’d never seen a bullseye rash or been bitten by a tick (as far as I knew). I wasn’t a camper or hiker. But the truth is, Lyme isn’t only spread by ticks, and its symptoms often mimic other illnesses. That’s why I suffered for so long without proper treatment.

Why I Do What I Do

This experience taught me healing isn’t a straight line; it’s a labyrinth. The answers I sought were buried under layers of misinformation. My journey inspired me to help others find the root cause of their suffering faster than I did.

If you feel dismissed, unseen, or told “it’s all in your head,” know this: you are not alone. Your invisible battle is real, and your strength is extraordinary.
