Living with Lyme disease can feel like navigating a maze of confusion, misdiagnosis, and frustration. My name is Jay, and my journey with Lyme began long before I knew what was really happening to me. Here’s my story—a journey through illness, misdiagnoses, and ultimately, hope.
The Early Days of Misdiagnosis
I believe I first contracted Lyme in 2010, though I didn’t receive a proper diagnosis until much later. I was constantly sick, and my symptoms were baffling. I had joint pain, muscle pain, brain fog, and extreme fatigue, but when I was tested for Lyme disease, the results came back negative—twice.
What followed was a year of treatment for fibromyalgia, a diagnosis that didn’t feel right to me. It wasn’t until I found a nurse practitioner who told me, “I don’t believe you have fibromyalgia,” that my journey to answers began. She sent me to a Lyme specialist who administered the IgeneX test, and finally, I had my answer: I had Lyme disease—99.9% active, according to the doctor.
A Battle Against Lyme
With my new diagnosis in hand, I thought I was on the path to recovery. Unfortunately, I was prescribed a year and a half of antibiotics, which ultimately made my condition worse. The antibiotics wreaked havoc on my gut, leading to candida, and despite the aggressive treatment, the Lyme persisted. I now know that treating chronic Lyme with antibiotics alone isn’t the best approach, but back then, I was relying on the healthcare system to guide me. Little did I know, the road ahead would be a long and difficult one.
Lyme's Impact on My Life
As the owner of a small construction company, my work requires me to be hands-on, meeting with clients, creating estimates, and managing projects. But Lyme disease affected my ability to work. There were days when I could barely leave my house, and when I did, even two hours of activity felt like torture. The physical symptoms—joint pain, muscle aches, and extreme fatigue—were one thing, but the brain fog and depression were debilitating. It felt like I was just existing, not living.
Searching for Solutions
By 2015, I was desperate. I had tried natural doctors, but many of them also pushed antibiotics alongside herbal tinctures. Nothing seemed to work. I even spent six months at a clinic in Florida, pouring a fortune into treatments. While I left the clinic about 60% better, I was still constantly managing symptoms like inflammation, exhaustion, and gut issues. It was a step forward, but not the breakthrough I needed.
Then, in 2021, I got bit by another tick. It was springtime, and I was doing some yard work when it happened. Soon after, the Lyme depression came back, along with the fatigue and brain fog. I was back to wondering how I would support my family and run my business with four kids depending on me.
Discovering Lyme Laser
During this dark period, a friend named Lisa told me about Lyme Laser. She had mentioned them to me before, but I had been hesitant to try yet another treatment after so many failed attempts. However, after months of trying to manage my symptoms on my own with herbs and supplements, I decided to look into it. I listened to testimonials from others who had been through the program and was amazed. I had never seen so many positive stories from people who had been in the same situation as me.
With a little prodding from Lisa, I decided to take the leap and try Lyme Laser. After so many doctors, clinics, and treatments, I was burned out and skeptical. But I also knew that the way I was living—or rather, not living—wasn’t sustainable. I couldn’t continue to feel like this.
The Road to Recovery
Since starting treatment with Lyme Laser, my life has changed. The team there has been incredible. They adjust the protocols based on my progress and check in regularly to ensure I’m improving. The program itself is remarkable, and I don’t know how they figured it all out, but they did.
What stood out to me most was the cost. Lyme treatments can be outrageously expensive, and I had already spent a small fortune on various treatments over the years. But Lyme Laser was affordable, which was a huge relief for me after draining so much of my savings on other treatments that didn’t work.
Today, I’m in a much better place. I’m still on my journey to full recovery, but I’m hopeful for the first time in a long while. I’ve spoken to others who have gone through the Lyme Laser program, and they’ve all seen remarkable progress as well.
Final Thoughts: Don’t Lose Hope
If you’re struggling with Lyme disease and feeling hopeless like I once did, I urge you to explore Lyme Laser. You don’t have to drain your life savings chasing treatments that don’t work. This program works. You just have to take the risk.
I know that for those of us with Lyme, everything feels like a risk. But this is one risk that can truly pay off. I’m thankful for where I am today, and I believe anyone suffering from Lyme can find hope and healing here, just like I did.
