Hey Everyone!

I started seeing lyme symptoms last summer when I had a bout with flu like symptoms for a short period of time, and then again this March. That's when I started developing visual symptoms. The only way I can describe my visual symptoms is static or snow-like. I also see after images. These symptoms are worse on solid colors or in the dark. I was also experiencing some dizziness, facial numbness, and an eye twitch. I went to an acupuncturist because I had been told it could really help with some of these symptoms. Long story short, the treatment helped with my dizziness but not with my visual symptoms. These symptoms seem to be getting slowly worse over time. It just so happened that this clinic had a new form of allergy testing (advanced allergy theraputics), which also can test for certain pathogens such as lyme. I showed up positive for b. lonestari and b. hanslea (excuse my spelling). I started an electrotherapy (if you will) treatment for the lyme and also went to my physician to get blood work and I'm waiting for those results. The electrotherapy has given me no improvements so far. Does anyone have any advice regarding my condition? Are these symptoms permanent? What's my prognosis? Is it even lyme??

Thanks,
Braden

Hi Braden,

I had vision problems too. Different ones than you but they all went away. If you find out exactly what is wrong with you and get on a good regime then there is no reason for you to not get better. Thus said, Lyme is extremely complicated and there are a number of areas you need to consider. You can be genetically predisposed to not be able to detox Lyme toxins, mold (HLA genetic mutation), have MTHFR (genetic inability to process B9), have high heavy metals, have a high level of organic solvents (like benzene and toluene), which will all prevent you from getting better. Toxins disrupt your gut, hormones, and brain chemistry among others. The most important thing is to detox. I did not start getting better until I started doing colonics 2x weekly. On days that I don't have a colonic I do green coffee enemas. If you read the link at the top of the forum it will give you some ideas on what to do.

You may want to look around the forum to see what protocols people have used. There are people here who used herbal protocols, silver, antibiotics, hydrogen peroxide IVs, vitamin C IVs, essential oils, etc. etc. so a lot to think about. I highly recommend finding an LLMD and getting a test from Igenex lab in California. It is the most accurate lab in the US.

Good luck and keep us posted!

The lonestari strain of borrelia is a variant of Lyme found predominantly in the Southeastern US. This is a variety of Lyme that may or may not be detected on a standard Lyme blood test. It can cause the same symptoms as Lyme, and requires the same treatment as Lyme.

Bartonella henselae is another bacteria that often comes along with Lyme, that tends to cause foot pain, a streak-like rash, and/or neurological symptoms.

The good news is, these infections are treatable, which means it is very likely your symptoms will go away with treatment. Best thing to do is to consult a Lyme-Literate medical practitioner for treatment.
