The Balancing Act

The Balancing Act

Күн бұрын

Each year, almost 400,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with Lyme disease, and, according to the CDC, that number is on the rise. Early detection and treatment can help resolve symptoms and prevent progression of Lyme disease. There is now a more timely solution for diagnosis.
Sofia 2 Lyme FIA is the only CLIA-waived tier one Lyme test in the market. This means it is the only test that can be run in most physicians’ offices, since most offices are only licensed to run CLIA-waived tests. Sofia 2 Lime FIA is also the fastest Lyme test on the market because it uses a finger-stick whole blood sample. You don’t have to draw venous blood or spin it down to serum or plasma, a process which takes at least 30 to 45 minutes. Additionally, the test also delivers positive and negative results in 15 minutes-and can deliver a positive result in as few as three minutes. Other tests require a serum or plasma sample and can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours to run, or they may not have FDA clearance.

I have a friend who’s fiancé’s dad has been misdiagnosed for over 7 years!! She (friend) was a 4th year med student at the time and was like “that sounds like Lyme” and sure enough! Lyme it was.

i recovered from Lyme disease. its more about the combination of symptoms and not the testing. I tested with IGENEX with a blood test. I also tested with DNA connexions, which was a urine test. Both were positive. Took me about a year of treatment. I saw Dr. Harrison Moore in Austin, Texas.

@@UltraGamma25 it was 2017-2019 so the prices have changed. the main expense are the medicines. Insurance pays most of that cost. My doctor joined another group of doctors recently so it's hard to answer the question. The organization called ILADS suggested him and I know several others who recovered.

@@UltraGamma25 do you live in the USA? It's definitely not $50,000. I didn't take any IV antibiotics. Mine were all pills and liquid antibiotics. Real Lyme doctors don't take insurance. They have spend have to spend at least one hour with you on each visit. They do a complete physical each time to see how your reflexes are etc. Insurance don't pay them enough to spend that much time with you. Similar to psychiatrists who rarely take insurance for the same reasons. The cost depends on how advanced your Lyme damage has gotten.

You are 100% correct. I got bit by a deer tick in May. I got the bullseye rash - 13 inches across my belly, and then it abscessed. I was prescribed 14 days of Doxycycline and seemed fine Test at 1 month out was negative... Now here we are in July, and I have ALL the symptoms! And doctors act like I am crazy... I am trying to find a doc who will test me again. Or just give me antibiotics again. I feel awful - joint pain, swollen lymph nodes, can't sleep, my heart races - it is horrible and where I live, it is not taken seriously.

Shanticlaire W, climate change? Did high/low temperatures, hurricanes and tornadoes (the same ones we have always had) spread these tiny, unusual ticks, which absolutely did not exist in my Ohio childhood? I live with Chronic Lyme Disease. I know a bit about ticks. I contracted Lyme soon after purchasing a farm that was previously an exotic game hunting ranch. They had deer from Argentina there, along with hogs from Russia and some type of African antelope. The tick population on that property was insane. The varieties were numerous and unidentifiable to this long time outdoorsman. How could the tick population on my current farm just twenty miles away, be so perfectly normal. The fellow that bought that property from me is dead at age 39, from a tick borne illness that he contracted on this farm. An illness which attacked his heart. His son contracted Lyme as well but was properly treated and recovered. The tick that bit each of us was not a dog tick, a deer tick, nor any other variety that frequents Ohio. So tell me again what this has to do with climate change. Why must everything come back around to that? The only real climate change that I have noticed occurs in accordance to solar activity and variants to the ecliptic. Even more so in accordance to bogus data collecting points, most of which are currently in cities. Who doesn't know that the temperature is typically ten degrees cooling in the countryside? I witness this every single time I return from town and drive onto my wooded property. Its no wonder that scientists observe warming when comparing one hundred year data, collected in what was then a tiny village, with temperatures from that same point that are now metropolises polluted with hot streets and roofs. Lol. I can do nothing but laugh when I hear the words climate change coming from supposedly educated people. But thats okay, laughing is very good for the body and soul, so poor it on.

Shanticlaire W, well then I'm very surprised that you haven't noticed that "climate change" is just a tool to herd everyone into mega-cities. Mark my word, the self sustaining lifestyle that you and I love, will not survive another decade. If they don't tax you off your land, they'll make it so miserable and expensive to live there that you will move willingly. You should investigate UN Agenda 2030. But not until you investigate the authors of this globalist agenda. You'll need to read the things that they have proposed to understand what they are actually up to and how they will use climate change to get there.

No it is spread by ixodes ticks (several varieties) that contract it from mice and some say government experiments. The ticks bite infects the white-footed field mice (or lab mice?,). Ticks bite the mice and travel to other wild animals like rabbit, deer, opossum, raccoon, foxes and your pets, where it crosses paths with you. Ot you just pick it up. You don't catch from handling your pet but the tick gets on you. Literally the female Lyme tick fits on the D on a US dime. The photo they show is many times enlarged ... and only the female has a brown abdomen. Males are even smaller. Males and nymphs are half or less big and solid black. All are contageous ! Nymphs will burrow into a skin pore to feed, making them harder to spot. The rash is not always a ring, nor a bullseye. In many cases the rash isn't found or noticed; or does not occur at all. There are only a few labs that can test properly for Lyme or its coinfections. There are at least 2 treatment facilities in the US that specialize in Lyme. And one's in Arizona and I think the other is in Kansas. NC and Maryland are heavily quashed even though they have the nation's premier medical research facilities.

Kaleido Scope, I have heard stories of ticks escaping from research facilities on an island just off the coast of Connecticut. Supposedly those ticks road ashore on the backs of deer which commonly swim to the mainland, near where the first human was reported to have contracted Lyme. But no one can tell my that every tick embedded on exotic game (or livestock) from other continents is removed before importing that animal to the states. There were just two types of ticks here in southern Ohio when I was roaming the woods as a child. I spent nearly all my summers in the woods or putting up hay and was bitten regularly. I never got sick from them. But these are different ticks with different diseases which our bodies have no immunity to. I don't doubt that government had a hand in the disease but common sense tells me that it spread via stupidity.

Lyme disease testing doesn't work. I've been had Lyme disease for 38 years and it took 27 years to get diagnosed. I suffer from many symptoms including severe pain. Lyme destroyed my jaw joints. I had a total jaw and mandible replacement and a total of 3 major jaw surgeries. I also had shoulder surgery. The surgeon said my muscles looked like spaghetti and that he's never seen anything like that. I asked if could be from Lyme disease and he said yes. Doctors are doing nothing for my pain and symptoms.
