, lyme disease sufferer and responsible for
France Lyme in Burgundy , France
I was bitten by a tick in 2000
; after a golf competition I took a shower and saw I had a nymph on my breast .I took if off with my fingers , which was , I knew nothing about it at
the moment , a huge mistake .Since ticks breathe with their skin , if you
happen to touch them , they will throw up in your body and can contaminate you
if they are infected . The right and safe way is to take them off with “
twizzers “ forgot how to say tire tique sorry , well tick remover .As I didn’t
have an erythma migrans I forgot about it . The following months I developed strange
symptoms without my making any link with the tick bite .
My feet really hurt , I concluded this was due
to my shoes !I was an English teacher and I started writing the beginning of
one word and the end of another , I kept
forgetting words , had blanks ,couldn’t understand anything ; I believed my
thoughts were too quick !
Dizziness and unbearable pain struck me.I felt the floor was moving up and
down ,as well as my chair or bed ….I couldn’t go on teaching ; then I had
terrible fatigue as well as big sweats .As soon as I got up , I was exhausted ,
it was as if my limbs weighed one hundred kilos . Then I started falling asleep
every now and then . I had to give up driving , it was too dangerous . I had brainfog all the time . Not only did
the doctors I saw at the time make no correct diagnosis but they all said I had
a psychological problem and that I was depressed . That’s what people around me
thought as well . I started having doubts , thinking they might be right ;anguish
, anxiety and moral fatigue started invading me , being added to my physical fatigue
. I thought I was going to die . I decided to visit another doctor who asked me
if I had been bitten by a tick one year after since he was unable to improve my
health , I had a test done , elisa negative , WB with strains ! It was now
clear that the tick had spit its bacteria , protozoans and viruses in my body ,
which had rushed to my joints and brain .As these bacteria are very resistant ,
protected by biofilms , I had to take antibiotics for a few years ( pulsed therapy 2 to 3 abx at the
same time ) , and today I believe I am back to myself by 75 % .However I still
have trouble with my sleep , which was anyway non existant at a time . I have
been taking Buhner’s plants for quite a time though I made it up myself
according to my symptoms , and I need about 30 capsules everyday to strengthen
my immune system , detox and sleep . I have been on treatment for 9 years now.
