LYME & LOW ENERGY: WHY THE HECK AM I SO EXHAUSTED!? PART 2

LYME & LOW ENERGY: WHY THE HECK AM I SO EXHAUSTED!? PART 2
At a time in my life when I was supposed to be living my best life, dreaming of the future, and take on each day head-on, I was instead nearly bed-ridden, exhausted constantly, sleeping over 15hrs every single day, and diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). 

At the time, we didn’t yet know I actually have LYME eating away at my cellular function and energy levels. It was literally sucking the life out of me. 

Lyme disease and coinfections can be a BEAST in terms of symptoms. Most people complain about crippling fatigue at one point or another.

But what’s going on exactly? And what can we do about it to get our explosive energy back?

Why Mindset Matters For Healing Lyme

Why Mindset Matters For Healing Lyme
     I’m not too proud to admit that sometimes the thought of reciting affirmations and “only thinking positive thoughts” makes me want to SCREAM. See, for a long time, this is what I thought constituted “mindset work,” and I was NOT here for it. 

    But I wanted to heal my Lyme. 

    Very soon into an intensive Lyme healing journey, I realized that my running from mindset work just WASN’T working.

Meet Adele

 
          Half my lifetime ago I was expecting to be permanently disabled or even dead at a young age unless I found a way back to hope and health. As a result of a mystery illness, I was nearly bed-ridden as a teenager. Sometimes I had to CRAWL up the 7 steps to my bedroom to get to bed because I couldn’t walk that far. I HAD to nap every single day. I was in *constant* burning, aching pain throughout my body and experienced exhaustion and brain fog so bad I could barely communicate. I had quit all sports, babysitting and other jobs. My ambitions, successes, sense of self, and LIFE were slipping through my fingers. I had been misdiagnosed with autoimmune conditions for years only to finally discover that Lyme disease and co-infections were the primary culprit of my medical mysteries. At the time of my diagnosis, I was spiraling into depression, helplessness, and hopelessness.  I had no idea where this journey would take me, but I could not see a light at the end of it, and that was just plain scary.
 
          My mom took me to many doctors, but none specialized in Lyme and tick borne illnesses. They all treated the symptoms I was having as best as they could, but I was still getting slowly worse, or having side effects from medications I was being put on. So my mom and I sought alternative options out of desperation. Homeopathy, diet changes, proper supplements, and rest finally started to lead me into healing and the fog started to lift. During that time, myofascial release from a certified massage therapist was one of the most helpful modalities I tried. She used essential oils too, and that was officially my first introduction to their power. All of these alternative options helped me survive, start to thrive, and begin the next leg of my journey: becoming a nurse. I thrived in a career that combined science, research, and helping others through their suffering and health goals. In my young adult years, I finally had the opportunity to continue my treatment and health journey with a Lyme specialist, which has helped me heal more fully than I ever would have thought possible 10yrs ago. 

          I knew that as I got married, started a family, and was working on healing my body, I had some big goals: 1) to be there for my family and to be able to care for them fully and 2) to have a non-toxic home and life in order to live our best lives. My cousin shared with me some of her journey, which had similarities to my own. She was using some things I was already curious about, including essential oils and specialized supplements. I was HOOKED after the first sample I tried! I could now clearly visualize the next steps of my healing journey - hope had returned!
              
          Now, I have endless hope. I can LIVE LIFE. This is the healthiest I’ve truly been since about age 14 and I’m thriving! I’ve been able to advocate for my own 4 babies, 3 of whom have ended up with Lyme too. I’m dedicated to using my nursing background and love of education in combination with appreciation for functional medicine and alternative therapies to help everyone I can. My hope is renewed. I am empowered and equipped. I’m enjoying and embracing the journey and want to help YOU to be able to have all of that too!
