Lyme disease is in the Infectious Disease doctor category.  When I first received all of my results 10 years ago, I tried frantically to reach out to 25 DIFFERENT Infectious Disease doctors.  My neurologist and cardiologist ALSO sent referrals because I was CDC positive for Lyme.  NONE of them would let me make an appointment. I mean every single one of them said either one of two things... "Sorry, we can't/aren't allowed to treat Lyme." "We can't see you in our office. Yes

For many years I worked very hard to gather attorney names from patients who won their cases across all the groups I run. Since I did not speak to each attorney with permission to distribute publicly, I prefer to distribute names by email instead. So, if you would like that information, please email me below.

I learned about this from my Lyme literate doctor, and found it especially helpful for neck, back and spine pain. It is an amazing magnesium lotion for pain.

Because many sources of Vitamin C can actually raise your histamine levels, you want to avoid certain forms of Vitamin C. You also need to pick according to your sensitivity to oxalates. I happen to deal with both, so I am doing this project to help guide others and for my myself. Trying to read through long articles to get to the main recommendations takes time and I'm here to save you time and get to the beef of it all. Top recommendations by top resources on histamine issu

This questionnaire is a great starting point if you suspect you may have Lyme. It is one of the reasons I got tested in the first place.

Here are articles where science has proven Lyme is in California (it's in every state but these are California focused). I had multiple doctors tell me it didn't exist in California when I was seeking answers. Sadly, many doctors in many states attempt to dismiss patients with saying this. They simply need to be educated. https://www.lymedisease.org/new-rickettsial-pathogen-calif/?fbclid=IwY2xjawFL7SpleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHdMswV8PrOs4SaPJQbz0hP-hc3fllveXAgBrKycv_BMO2aXRJJ5k3xIAjQ

I was SUPER EXCITED to learn about this MOOD TONIC by VITANICA. A product called Sunny Moods had always been my go-to but hated the size of pills plus they added some ingredients I could no longer use. I could never find a comparable formula. So, my LLND sent this when I asked for tincture. I've used this brand many times.  Great ingredients, lemon balm, passionflower and rhodiola. 25% off here, including this brand: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/theriseabovelyme

Do you have a hard time falling asleep?  When I was at my worst in this disease, I would have intense anxiety going to bed because I was filled with fear due to symptoms when I would lay down. I was shaky and in extreme pain so I couldn't shut my brain off and get to sleep. I needed to sleep to heal and escape.  So, this exact audio is what finally helped me go into a trance and I would go into a deep sleep. There are many and she is amazing but this one in particular helped

“If you want to get a continuous beneficial effect from your probiotics, you should change probiotics every three months or with the seasons,” says Paulina Lee, RD, LD of Savvy Stummy. “If you were to take the same probiotic all year round, it may lose its effectiveness and even lend itself to gut dysbiosis by creating an imbalance of the very diversity you were trying to create.” By heeding her three-month rotating schedule, Lee says you’ll have a better chance to maintain h

This is my absolute go-to. Works amazing and I highly recommend if you are sensitive to probiotics and have histamine issues. Since I struggled with SIBO off and on, this was super helpful. During my last appointment, my LLND said it was time to rotate my probiotic. I was super excited to try this one to further help histamine issues. He really talked it up.  Not sure if it's new or I just never knew of it. It has MAJORLY helped. I will also add this to the histamine intol

I've used my PEMF mat for years. I decided to dig into the topic for helping POTS. However, none of the frequency charts mention POTS so I'm unsure what the best number is to use for it. "PEMF therapy works by generating electromagnetic fields that penetrate tissues and stimulate cellular activity. In the case of POTS, PEMF therapy may help regulate the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for controlling heart rate, blood pressure, and other involuntary bodily func

CAUSES Lyme disease and Babesia caused POTS for me. https://www.riseabovelyme.com/post/most-common-symptoms "While researchers are still working to identify the root causes and pathology of POTS, there are several underlying diseases and conditions that are known to cause or be associated with POTS or POTS-LIKE symptoms in some patients.
