I'm surprised you haven't heard from anyone yet.

Did you see my post about the Olympic skier who overcame Lyme and was able to go back to skiing after some tough years? She did a documentary and showed videos of her literally falling out of the sky, because she got so disoriented when she tried to do her maneuvers. She's supposed to perform on the 20th.

I'm sure there are a ton. You have to remember too, like 90 percent of the forums are full of people who actively have it because they're looking for help. 90 percent of people who become cured forget about it and move on, and you never hear their success story. So trust me, most people do recover from this.

- Keep strong, fight it, and try to remain as happy as you are able to be. When the rough times come, just remember that there is a brighter side that'll you eventually get to, and when it comes, you'll be a stronger person because of it.

- Good luck

Hi Anon.
A very short answer, as I have a really bad migraine today, but wanted to be sure that you were thinking of me. smilewinkgrin

Being very careful about the use of the word "cured" - I am in full remission. I finished my Lyme and Bart treatments at the end of Dec. of 2012, finished Babesia tx at the end of Dec. of 2013 and have not had any relapses. I even went through a period of horrible stress and still have had no relapses - so I count myself as in full remission.

Violet: That was so well said. Much like my mentality. Having Lyme sucks but I am still thankful for everything I have that's good. Once I found out I had Lyme, I am now on a path to recovery. I have a friend who has MS and it was a consideration at first for me as well. I thought to myself, well I have the opportunity to get better now, but she'll never have that, only try to keep it from getting worse.

Anon: I've read plenty of success stories on here and plenty of people that post often are back to 85%-90% to their old selves. We will all get better someday, it will just take some longer than others to figure out the correct path to healing. I know I will get better someday, and I will make sure I help other Lyme sufferers and that they know that it can be done!

Yep, I am a success story and I used alternative medicine to get well as well as detoxing to get the poisons out of my body, etc.

I don't believe there will be a "cure in a box" simply because everyone is different and reacts differently to protocols.  What works for one person does not mean it will work for another...

My daughter could not walk 5.5 years ago. Tomorrow she will be traveling with her college swim team to compete in their conference meet at the University of Tennessee. Heather will be a threat to place very high in her events at the meet.

Recently a physician said that her health status probably falls within the top 1% of the population. Not bad considering what she was for several years.

My understanding of the concepts of "cure" and "remission" have changed over the last few years. I now measure any treatment outcome in terms of wellness and possessing the liberty to chase dreams. I believe that the pathogens are only one factor among several that must be addressed for a "cure". Many healthy people test positive for pathogens, yet are healthy, vital, and productive in life. Do they need a cure?

I'm sorry to muddy the waters here. I know that what you are really asking is if anybody on this forum ever becomes well again. The answer is YESSSS!!!! There have been many.

Anonymous- I wish you the best in your journey.

Don

Thank you to those who have written to assure the rest of us. It is a tremendous help.
Posted 2/18/2014 3:47 PM (GMT 0)
Don't forget that there have been many others that I know of that have healed and just moved on. Their lives are full and busy, so they don't post here any longer. We are just a small example.
Posted 2/18/2014 3:53 PM (GMT 0)
Not yet, but one day I will be, hopefully soon. I'll let you know when that happens.

We can't wait until we hear yours, In a cocoon!!!

We just got back yesterday from Heather's 4 day conference swim meet last week. There is no doubt that she has completely recovered from her illness. She placed second in the 500 freestyle and just missed winning the event by about 2 tenths of a second. She also placed third in the 200 freestyle. She almost qualified for the NCAA's D1 national meet in both events!

We were astounded by her swimming progress this year. She is enjoying the great success that her illness robbed from her when she was younger. I can't wait till next year!

Anonymous,

I don't know what "cured" means. But I'm finally alive again and able to actually enjoy it. Ill take it.

I posted my story for you.

@ Heathers Dad,

As the mother of a competitive swimmer I understand the commitment and rigors of practicing and competing. I am very impressed with your daughter's recovery and where she placed in the conference. Clearly she is one healthy young lady now!

Congrats Dad!

Maybe there should be a permanent post at the top by those who have found "healing", however you call it, at the top of the forum. Then we all can go there and bask in everybody's success!
Posted 3/24/2014 11:33 PM (GMT 0)
I second Lymebabes idea of a permanent post at the top to have a thread that is dedicated to "healed" stories.....that would be SOOOOO reassuring during those dark moments!!
Posted 3/25/2014 12:48 AM (GMT 0)
These stories are great. For those who still stick around here once getting better, you are our beacons of hope!

But it makes sense, once you get healed, you want to pick up where you left off and for most people that was a real busy part in your life. I know once I get better I'll try to drop by every month or so!

I promise to stick around if I get well! Nearly my entire family has lyme so I am hoping to have lots of happy and hope inspiring stories to share. :)
