Lyme disease Has a Diverse set of symptom? - Lifestyle Physicians
Tumblr media
Test for Lyme Disease: To contract the disease, the infected tick needs to attach to you for 36 to 48 hours – that’s about two straight days. If you find a tick on you, pull it firmly and upward off your skin with a clean pair of tweezers. Always check exposed skin after a hike or working outdoors for ticks that may have taken hold.

As a chronically & mentally ill babe, I often have to remind myself...
1) That when I feel well, it likely isn’t forever. It could be, and that’s awesome! But the fact that all feelings (inside & out) are temporary doesn’t make them any less important or valid, and clinging to how things were or worrying about how things will be only destroys the present.
2) Never to forget how much music, art, literature, and shows/movies have meant to me when I didn’t have the ability to pursue my other passions. In the darkest times, when all you can do is sit through it, your favorite book is there for a reread—to escape to another world that feels like home. Or when you’re throwing up in the middle of the night again, your favorite song is always there. And it always means something.
3) To trust myself, my body, and my intuition. Especially as women, too often we’re told that physical feelings are all in our head or our emotional feelings are irrational or lies. It’s just not fucking true. Of course, just because you think or believe something doesn’t make it true, and mental conditions can cause physical effects. But you’re the only one who lives in your body and your life, and who knows what is true or best for you.

Becoming an adult without having a normal childhood experience due to mental illness and chronic illness is weird.
For me, it's a good weird because I have a lot of experiences - some old, some very new, and some still ongoing that are still shaping my life.
I'm thankful that I had the strength to get through what feels like the worst of it and can see the light at the end of the tunnel for the first time in a long time and finally deal with dumb teenage problems instead.
I thought my experiences would have taken over my life but my life is still going on, except I finally feel like I have some control over the reins.

Things i’ve learned while being ill
*feel free to add any of your own
never take your health or anything for granted
life is unfair, but that’s just how it is
If you want anything in life, even if it’s just peace of mind, you have to put the work in and do it yourself
most doctors really don’t know everything there is to know about health and illness
regular people think they know everything there is to know about health and illness
people’s true colors come out, you’ll loose a lot of people you thought were your friends
Diet changes can help, but is not a “cure”
Never have very high expectations (health or life wise) or you’re going to always be disappointed
it’s not your fault you’re sick, it’s not your fault you’re sick, it’s not your fault you’re sick
celebrating even the smallest accomplishments is more then okay
if no one is around to be proud of you, be proud of yourself
when all else fails, listen to stand up comedy for soul-healing laughter * credit: @meatless-grandma *
you can’t sit around waiting for a “miricle” It’s just not realistic..

This is a blog dedicated to exploring the ways in which we communicate across the bounds of species, of language, or even of perceivable sentience via facialization, anthropomorphism, movement, or sound. It’s inception is for a class called Post-Nature: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene at SAIC. For at least 5 weeks, I’ll be accumulating some lovely thoughts for the tumblr ethers, accompanied by some relevant or completely irrelevant memes, because: Memes are the most relevant and accessible media art form of our TIME, change my mind lol Who am I? I’m an artist (www.feralorde.com), mutual aid organizer (www.swopbrooklyn.org), and criminalized s3x worker. I’m gender liminal, disabled & neurodiverse, mixed indigenous Quileute and diasporic Rromani, United States-ian currently living in Brooklyn, NY and many other less nameable things. Why did I choose this topic? When I think about the trauma of my ancestry, I often think of language. Language shapes the way we think, perceive, relate - it shapes the epistemology of our minds. English is my first language, and I feel mostly proficient with it when I’m in the practice of it - but I’m the type of person who does not have an inner monologue - I am dyslexic, and synesthetic, and autistic - my mind is more of a shapes, colors, textures, and images type of mind. It’s hard for me to sink into reading or writing, but once I do it’s calm and easy, even if it feels unnatural at first. I wonder often if I would feel this way about other languages? When I lived in Egypt in my teens, I picked up Arabic quickly - the words becoming a tapestry of earthy and jewel tones in my (yet known to me) synesthetic mind. It was a difficult language, but one I found easier to “think” in. It’s also a language with stricter rules and boundaries than English - a language greatly impacted and shaped by it’s thrust upon so many cultures via colonization and imperialism, who’s agency and rebellion is found in our odd bits of slang, inflections that feel natural but defy the laws of “grammar.” To deflect from this path, I have over the last few years really sunk into herbalism. I have late stage lyme, and am so far progressed that pharmaceutical avenues of treatment would be too much for my body to handle - I found an alternative in plant medicine. During my research, I explored a lot of the philosophies and traditions of herbalism - and of plant communication. Many herbalists and plant healers throughout the ages have practiced asking plants for their harvests, communicating through intuitive energetic methods. There are more recent studies which show that plants communicate with us through hormonal chemicals released in the air - tiny suggestions to water or feed or move them. They communicate this way with each other as well - noting when a dangerous insect has arrived, sometimes even luring other friendly insects to come to their aid. What surprises me most is that through the discovery of epigenetics, we have found that plants will change their genetic structure when influenced by our breath or urine - shifting to become more acute medicine for us. Plants with medicinal properties tend to grow in proportion to the dis-eases they treat - for instance, a map of Kudzu growth (used most commonly to assist with alcoholism and related imbalances) aligns almost perfectly with a map of alcoholism in the United States. As we’ve seen this mass global outbreak of COVID-19, we’ve also seen the most curative and preventative herb, Baikal Scullcap - an ACE2 inhibitor which reduces or even eliminates the pathways of reproduction for the virus, have it’s most fruitful year around the globe. If that’s not an attempt to communicate “hey, I’m here for you. Here is the balance and symbiosis we both need. What ails you feeds me,” I’m not sure what is. Obviously this can be interpreted in many ways, but I also believe firmly that there are an infinite number of ways to communicate - both with and without language - that the epigenetic science behind this also shows us another method of communication.
There is so much more I could say, but I’ll save it for future posts. HERE IS A MEME abt BIRDS xoxoxo -Fera

Sooooo I’m going to update acuretly but I didn’t post last weekend so the numbers may look a lil off.
Start weight: 264.4lbs
Weight last week: 257.4lbs
Current weight: 256lbs
Weekly loss: -1.4lbs
Total loss: -8.4lbs
I guess stress was helping the weight loss because I honestly didn’t think I’d be down this week. With the doctors appointments and everything I was struggling. Will work super hard to get to that -10lb down. 😊

After years of worsening pain and symptoms, I finally saw a doctor who listened to me and wasn’t oddly defensive/irked about my having chronic illness.* She was like “oh yeah totally, I think you have endometriosis and PCOS.” Obviously can’t formally diagnose the former (since that would require a laproscopy and she doesn’t want to do that yet), but wow! What a relief to find someone who didn’t get pissed at me for existing, or assume I’m a hypochondriac. Western medicine needs some b i g changes y’all. Also big thanks to my naturopathic doctor for FINDING my chronic illnesses (after 7 years), listening to, and respecting me.**
P.S. My DMs are open to anyone struggling with chronic illness or looking to find a good, logical, kind doctor who will actually listen. Will gladly help. ♥
*Lyme, MTHFR, etcetera
**And she also thought I had endo & PCOS

Today, my workplace decided that they would help move me down to part time WITHOUT having to get ADA paperwork signed by a doctor.
This is HUGE.
I worked so hard to get this job, I am good at it and I love it. But who was I kidding trying to kill myself working 40 hours a week with two chronic conditions. I have been flaring up major lately with #endometriosis & #lymedisease and it’s been causing me to need to take more time off. I went to them (sad + upset) last week because I decided that I would need to give my notice because I was being taken out quickly by my chronic illnesses that we all know just get way worse when under stress and wouldn’t have the weeks needed to get the paperwork signed.
They said it was okay.
They want me there.
They like me.
They saw me.
They believed me. :-,)

you know you’re messed up mentally when you look back at your childhood and realize you spent more time fantasizing about your funeral rather than your wedding like all the normal little girls dreamt about ...
