How did I end up in a wheelchair from a bite? There was so much coverage all over the media yesterday bc there’s been a new study published which found rapidly increases rates of Lyme diagnosis in the UK so I thought I would share my story ⁣ ⁣ I don’t ever remember being bitten. I don’t ever remember a rash (only 30% of people get the bulls-eye rash if they get Lyme from a tick). You can also get Lyme from horseflies / mosquitos / fleas / spiders (anything that can bite). ⁣I don’t know what bit me or where it was. ⁣ I first got symptoms about age 11-12 (almost 15 years ago) - cognitive at first - problems with reading / writing / concentrating / memory loss / confusion. Then at age 13 I got the HPV vaccine which debilitated my immune system & caused the Lyme to get worse - this is when I developed fatigue.⁣ ⁣ Age 15 I had glandular fever & swine flu which made everything worse - the symptoms of those viruses never went away (sore throat / swollen glands / muscle pain). At 17 I had a ski accident & car crash with head & neck injuries which made everything worse + I developed a lot of head / neck symptoms.⁣ On top of all that throughout my teenage years I experienced a lot of psychological trauma which put my body into a state where it could never recover from anything (infections / injury etc)⁣ ⁣ By my early 20s I was completely bedridden - paralysed of the arms & legs. I didn’t leave my bedroom for 7 months or my house for 11 months. I had blackout blinds / no light for that entire time + couldn’t tolerate any noise or cognitively have any communication. I couldn’t be touched by clothes or bed sheets because I was in so much pain and was about to be put on a tube to be fed because I couldn’t even manage the puréed foods my mum used to spoon feed me. Once every two weeks I was carried from the bed a couple of metres to the bath to be washed / changed pyjamas then back to bed. This was my routine for 7 months.⁣ ⁣ Thankfully I found Breakspear medical a private clinic in Hertfordshire who suspected Lyme, tested me for it (positive) + where I’ve been treated the last 3 years. I have made enormous progress but I still have over 50 different symptoms a day!

over here feeling like the ultimate warrior. spiritual warrior, healing warrior, and most of all- #LYMEWARRIOR. i don’t share my healing journey to complain or evoke sympathy or “for the likes.” i share to inspire, educate, and create a sense of community on these little pixelated screens. connecting on here over the last 6+ years, but especially the last 2 that i’ve been sick, has been a light on my darkest days. this community lifts me up and supports and teaches me so much on a daily basis. i am still dumbfounded (beyond) by @nymag writing slanderously about lyme patients and the “pride” with which we share our “#lymewarrior content.” so @thecut, i would say this one is for you- because i am damn proud of my second intensive surgery for lyme disease. (the first of which i’m still recovering from almost a year later.) but i can’t say it’s for you because it’s not. ‍♀️ it’s for me, my fellow lyme warriors, and my non-lyme community on here who empowers one another and are open to education and growth beyond what they’ve personally experienced. i have so much love in my heart for each and every one of you. thank you for making the internet “home” for me for all of these years, and through the darkness too. #lymedisease #lymediseaseawareness #chroniclyme
