MAY IS LYME DISEASE AWARENESS MONTH

LYME SCIENCE - WHY AM I STILL SICK?

There are a number of reasons that Lyme symptoms persist. One reason is the bacteria that causes Lyme disease is a master of disguise. It can be hard for the body to find and destroy. So how does it stay hidden?

1. Your immune system looks for patterns in proteins. Bacteria have proteins on their surface, and your body creates antibodies that match those proteins.
2. When antibodies find a match, they attach to the bacteria and mark it for destruction. This signals the body to destroy it. In the image, the square shapes match.
3. The problem is that Borrelia can change its surface proteins. It can also release those proteins into nearby tissue. Now the bacteria have different, sphere-shaped proteins on its surface.
4. Antibodies are still looking for the old shape, but it is gone. Without being marked, the bacteria is not destroyed and your symptoms continue.

I hate it went my girl is sick🤍

It doesn’t matter hold old your child gets when they’re not well.

1 yrs old.
3 yrs old.
6 yrs old.
10 yrs old.
14 yrs old.

You just want to make them feel better. Tonight I asked her what I could do and she said just to lay with her. We put on our favorite show and snuggled with our fur babies🐾

Lately she’s been getting sick on top of sicker. Urgent Care visits are becoming more and more. I pray her immune system gets stronger and updated blood work gives us a clue.

It doesn’t make you weaker as a 𝗪𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗡, 𝗪𝗜𝗙𝗘, 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗡𝗘𝗥, or 𝗠𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 to do so.

Courtney S is a 29-year-old living with Chronic Lyme Disease, POTS, and CFS. You may have come across her blog Splash of Lyme. As somebody who has always liked to be in control, Lyme has taught her that you can't control everything—but you can control some things. Here's an excerpt from Courtney's letter to a fellow Lymie.

"Lyme might have made you start this journey, BUT YOU CAN CONTROL where it takes you and how it ends. And when it does get super hard, BECAUSE IT ALWAYS DOES, remember you are not alone. I am here with you, a fellow Lyme Warrior on the same journey, and in the end WE WILL WIN."
