Yet another horrible disease there is no cure for found a hundred+ years ago in Europe. The conspiracy theory of it's development has to do with
Hitler,
Plum Island, and biological warfare. It is spread by infected ticks of all varieties as well as mosquitoes-who have bitten infected vermin such as mice, rats, voles etc. It can also be passed gestationally-you have about a
55% chance of passing it along to your
child.
It effects every cell in your body driving you quite literally insane given enough time.
Treatment for this initially should include NO LESS than 60 days of Doxycyline if you can stomach it, as well as comprehensive co-infeciton testing as ticks and mosquitoes no longer just carry only the Borrelia Burgdorferi. (The Lyme spirochete parasite.) The life-span of the spirochete is longer than the average 14-21 days of antibiotics they like to give you at the
doctor so it is most often ineffective. Also antibiotics
don't treat and eradicate the co-infections that now come along with it. You must self-advocate and self-educate.
It causes you to become angry or
depressed at the drop of a hat with
little or no reason. Often misdiagnosed as Bi-Polar Disorder.
It's a complete relationship-ruiner, not that you'll have the motivation for
one anyways. And you can just forget about having a sex-drive. Get ready to
burn some bridges and become a hermit!
Veronica is an angry nut-
job and is the biggest Debbie
Downer I've
ever met!
Yeah, she has Lyme Disease.
