May- Lyme Disease Awareness Month!!!

        MAY: Lyme Disease Awareness Month!

Raising Awareness for this horrible disease is very important. Here are a few ways that you can help:

"Samantha’s Project” Turn your porch light green for the month of May! Help spread awareness by replacing your porch or outdoor lights with a green bulb. It’s fun, easy and a cheap way to bring attention to this nasty disease!

* Wear lime green the month of May : Shirts, ribbons,bracelets, headbands, NAIL POLISH..etc.

* Tie lime green ribbons around poles and trees

 * Hand out Lyme Disease info cards: www.lymediseaseassociation.org under resources

* Share on social networks to check for ticks and help educate about Lyme Disease

 ** To prevent Lyme Disease check for ticks daily**

 

I will be adding information about Lyme Disease throughout the month of May.

To read my story please start from the beginning of this blog : Feb 2011 (I was diagnoised in August 2011) Thank you for reading and Let's Raise Awareness!!!

Looking Good :)

I went to my Integrative Medicine Doctor this week and had him test me for EVERYTHING! Everything I always tested positive for last January 2012.

Good News: My Lyme is still gone- non active! I couldn't be happier!! Hoping to stay in remission forever! He said that if it did come back he is confident that my immune system would be able to fight it off. Yay! All negative for the co-infections I had, Parasites, metals, mold! I got a good report.

The only thing that he did find was that I had an Iodine Deficiency? I was very confused about that. I did look it up ( Google) and read about it. It seems that it is common but you should take some supplements if you are on it.

So as of right now I am taking supplements for that and Vitamin D. THAT IS IT! I feel like I went from 30 pills a day to 2.. crazy!

The Spring is here and Summer is near.. Please continue to check yourself, your children and pets for Ticks. DAILY! This disease can change your life in a flash. Also, remember, May is Lyme Awareness month. Get those green light bulbs for your porch, wear some lime green clothes and nail polish, educate others!
