Finally, after years of uncertainty, I have found the unwanted guest that is causing me quite a few management problems: it is Mrs. Borrelia Burgdorferi, a bacterium transmitted by infected ticks that causes Lyme Disease.

In Italy, in about 10 years, just over a thousand cases of this disease have been diagnosed, but the incidence could be higher considering that people still speak little and the differential diagnoses often leave something to be desired.

In fact, in 20% of cases the erythema migrans, which is the main symptom recognized by doctors, does not appear.

This can make diagnosis more difficult, and when the body can no longer handle the infection, I assure you that the symptoms can become strange and unpredictable!

My hope now is to finally find a specialist who can follow me on this journey, to check whether this cute arthropod has brought with it other bacteria and assess any damage.

Even if finding out so late makes everything longer and more complex, I'm relieved to finally be on the right path and not to have stopped in my search!

🌟 LESSON #1 : Don’t Give Your Power Away!#MightyTogether #malattiadilyme #borreliaburgdorferi #diagnositardiva #lymeawareness #chroniclyme #percorsodiguarigione Finalmente, dopo anni di incertezze, ho trovato l'ospite indesiderato che mi sta causando non pochi problemi di gestione: è la Sig.ra Borrelia Burgdorferi, un batterio trasmesso da zecche infette che provoca la Malattia di Lyme.

In Italia, in circa 10 anni, sono stati diagnosticati poco più di mille casi di questa malattia, ma l’incidenza potrebbe essere più alta considerato che se parla ancora poco e le diagnosi differenziali lasciano spesso a desiderare.

Nel 20% dei casi infatti l’eritema migrante, che è il principale sintomo riconosciuto dai medici, non compare.

Questo può rendere più difficile la diagnosi e, quando il corpo non riesce più a gestire l’infezione, vi assicuro che i sintomi possono diventare strani e imprevedibili!

La mia speranza adesso è di trovare finalmente uno specialista che possa seguirmi in questo percorso, per verificare se questo simpatico artropode ha portato con sé altri batteri e valutare gli eventuali danni.

Anche se scoprirlo così tardi rende tutto più lungo e complesso, sono sollevata di essere finalmente sulla strada giusta e di non essermi fermata nella ricerca!

🌟 LESSON #1 : Don’t Give Your Power Away!

I’ve been trying to get out in the sun and fresh air to paint before the real cold settles in. Many days I don’t have the energy but a few days ago it was so nice out that I took out my water soluble crayons and played with them on my deck.

27, I am 27 years old amd feel that life has thrown more then enough my way. I walk the path of being chronically ill and the path of being a care taker. Never once when I was younger think that I would experience so many things in such a short time. I feel I have so many stories that just fall on deaf ears, the desire to help others has just grown more with each life event I encounter. I dont know if there is any other way to release these feelings than to help someone else on their journey when it starts at a young age.
It feels like I have no safe place to go and share my life experiences or how I am truly feeling in our society today.
Thank you for listening.
