When I think about Lyme brain, or brain fog, I envision a clear beautiful sky hindered by stagnant, dark grey clouds that block the sun and literally don’t move, not even for the wind. They just get heavier and heavier as the rain accumulates but doesn’t fall. Imagine if NY was like that all the time? That would suck. Imagine if your mind was like that all the time? Brain fog encompasses a handful of unpleasant neurological manifestations of Lyme disease — such as difficulty concentrating, memory loss or the inability to store and recall information, inability to process information, difficult ..read more

Rain, rain go away, come again and… my body will pay. Ugh. For the healthy ones out there, until you’ve sprained an ankle or broken a bone you probably won’t feel the wrath that a rain cloud can bring along. For the chronically pained, when it rains it pours. Often when rain is on its way or showering down, those with a history of injury, arthritis or even headaches feel an increase in pain.  There are some studies out there that completely trump this whole idea, but if you’re reading this, you probably know the correlation is real. If it’s not, go ahead and tell me “it’s all in my head ..read more

If you are dealing with aches and pains in your joints, you need to keep reading – this supplement is part of my daily routine no matter where I am Joint pain – knee pain to be real specific, was the first sign of my illness. Widespread joint aches ultimately ensued and became the most long-lasting, crippling piece of my Lyme fight, until I discovered two supplements that have literally been life changing [not even exaggerating a tiny bit] When I considered myself “better” but not well, joint pain was my greatest struggle. Even though I saw a rheumatologist [a doctor who specializes in musculo ..read more

The controversy over the course and length of a “real” Lyme infection is still remaining.  Some literature says chronic Lyme disease doesn’t exist at all and those persistent symptoms are “all in your head” OR are related to an entirely different disease.  And some chose to call those forever-lingering ailments “post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome”.  Whatever the case may be, those persistent symptoms are REAL and they shouldn’t be dismissed. I’m tired of accepting sick as my “healthy.” 12 years after falling ill, 8 years after a diagnosis + 5 years after entering a “remis ..read more

Back in the day when blogs really weren’t a thing, I used to roam Tumblr and facebook and StumbleUpon as “ly2mela”, writing about my healing journey with Lyme and Babesia, but I needed a break.. Within the 6 short weeks of college winter break in 2009, I received a diagnosis of late stage Lyme disease. A diagnosis of Lyme disease means something different to everyone – for me it was a devastating blessing. By this point, I had been sick and misdiagnosed for 4 YEARS. I was literally convinced that I was a hypochondriac. I saw over 15 doctors in a dozen different specialties, I was so happy to h ..read more
