Last month I got Covid and around week 4 I started getting worse rather than better…
This is when I started researching who I was going to trust to help me figure this out.
Conventional medicine said “there’s no medication for long covid and we don’t know what causes it, you’ll just have to wait it out. You’re gonna have good days and bad days, just rest.”
Functional medicine said “your immune system should be recovering, and if it’s not, there’s a reason why it’s weak. Find out why.”
This is when I found in FL and my intuition couldn’t be clearer that this was where I needed to go. John and I hopped on a flight and went to go see Dr. Bryan Johnson.
He listened, thoroughly investigated, helped me understand the findings and built the most full-spectrum healing protocol I’ve ever seen. Because the root cause was clear…
I have Lyme disease 🤯
This wasn’t on my radar, at all, and it’s not something I test for in my practice (yet). Idk if I ever would have found this had I not had this encounter with c*vid. In a weird way I feel grateful?
Dr. Johnson explained my immune system was strong enough to suppress the Lyme, until I got hit with the virus. Because before this, I didn’t have active Lyme symptoms.
My symptoms went from fever, fatigue, shortness of breath and poor sleep (Covid) —> tingling sensation in my arms, racing heart, hot flashes, inability to walk longer than 5 minutes and in some phases of this an inability to stand (Lyme).
I’ve been fighting the last 6 weeks to recover, but my road is kinda just getting started. For the next two months I’m on a combination of medications, peptides, nutraceuticals, homeopathics, Paleo diet, IV’s and hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions 5x/week.
Although this is one of the most challenging chapters I’ve been through, I know it’s here to serve a greater purpose.
Thank you to everyone who’s reached out 🙏🏼 I’m in great hands. John hasn’t left my side. Mimi has been my arms and legs, and my friends and family have me wrapped in love in support. I’m gonna be okay ❤️
