Yet another horrible disease there is no cure for found a hundred+ years ago in Europe. The conspiracy theory of it's development has to do with Hitler, Plum Island, and
biological warfare. It is spread by infected
ticks of all varieties as well as mosquitoes-who have bitten infected vermin such as mice, rats, voles etc. It can also be passed gestationally-you have about a 55% chance of passing it along to your child.
It effects every cell in your body driving you quite literally insane given enough time.
Treatment for this initially should include NO LESS than 60 days of Doxycyline if you can stomach it, as well as comprehensive co-infeciton testing as ticks and
mosquitoes no longer just carry only the Borrelia Burgdorferi. (The
Lyme spirochete parasite.) The life-span of the spirochete is longer than the average 14-21 days of
antibiotics they like to give you at the doctor so it is most often ineffective. Also antibiotics don't treat and eradicate the co-infections that now come along with it. You must self-advocate and self-educate.
It causes you to become angry or depressed
at the drop of a hat with little or no reason. Often misdiagnosed as Bi-Polar Disorder.
It's a complete relationship-ruiner, not that you'll have the motivation for one anyways. And you can just forget about having a sex-drive. Get ready to burn some bridges and become a hermit!
Veronica is an angry
nut-job and is the biggest
Debbie Downer I've ever met!
Yeah, she has Lyme Disease.
