here are some of my blood test results, chronic Lyme is known to cause these
problems:
Low white blood cell count - a sign of a weakened immune system. Years of
fighting the Lyme does that.
Elevated SED rate - a sign of inflammatory disease
Elevated liver enzymes - a sign that liver cells are dying,
causing liver damage.
Low thrombocyte count- Thrombocytes, called platelets,
play a key role in normal blood clotting.
Those are just a few of the symptoms I am dealing with.
The damaged liver is causing digestion problems, among other troubling and
distressing symptoms.
There are supplements to remedy all of those conditions.
I was feeling improvement in all symptoms after several
months of taking various supplements. The money ran out,
I couldn't afford to keep up taking them, and all the symptoms are creeping
back up on me.
That's why I'm going to sell the Taylor.
There are no pharmaceutical drugs that help those conditions. All they can
give for liver inflammation is cortisone, which weakens the immune system
and has many other serious side effects. And it doesn't do anything to
help the liver.

Lyme disease (LD) is a seriously complex multi-system inflammatory disease
that is triggered by the bacterial lipoproteins (BLPs) produced by the
spiral-shaped bacteria called Borrelia. Borrelia are difficult to isolate,
grow, and study in the laboratory. So, our technical knowledge of this
pathogen is poor compared to our understanding of most bacteria that cause
disease. Transmission of Borrelia occurs primarily through the bite of
ticks. The disease affects every tissue and every major organ system in the
body. Clinically, it can appear as a chronic arthalgia (joint pain),
fibromyalgia (fibrous connective tissue and muscle pain), chronic fatigue,
immune dysfunction and as neurological disease. LD may even be fatal in
severe cases.
List of Lyme Disease Symptoms
As I mentioned before, every organ and organ system can be affected, here?s
a list of some of the LD symptoms as they relate to specific areas of the
body:
a.. Head ? headache, neck pain, facial pain and paralysis, difficulty
chewing, pain in teeth, dry mouth, loss of taste/smell, numb tongue/mouth.
Peculiar metallic or salty taste is also common in LD. This is likely due to
the BLPs present in the system.
b.. Bladder -- frequent or painful urination, repeated urinary tract
infections, irritable bladder, interstitial cystitis.
c.. Lung -- respiratory infection, cough, asthma, pneumonia, pleurisy,
chest pains
d.. Ear -- pain, hearing loss, ringing (tinnitius), sensitivity to noise,
dizziness & equilibrium disorders.
e.. Eyes -- pain due to inflammation (scleritis, uveitis, optic neuritis),
dry eyes, sensitivity to light, drooping of eyelid (ptosis), conjunctivitis,
blurry or double vision, swelling around eyes / bags below the eyes.
f.. Throat -- sore throat, swollen glands, cough, hoarseness, difficulty
swallowing
g.. Neurological -- headaches, facial paralysis, seizures, meningitis,
stiff neck, burning, tingling, or prickling sensations (parathesia), loss of
reflexes, loss of coordination, equilibrium problems/dizziness (these
symptoms mimic an MS, ALS, or Parkinson?s like syndrome)
h.. Stomach -- pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps,
anorexia
i.. Heart -- weakness, dizziness, irregular heart-beat, myocarditis,
pericarditis, palpitations, heart block, enlarged heart, fainting, shortness
of breath, chest pain, mitral valve prolapse.
j.. Muscle & skeletal system -- arthralgias (joint pain), fibromyalgia
(muscle inflammation and pain)
k.. Other Organs -- liver infection / hepatitis, elevated liver enzymes,
enlarged spleen, swollen testicles, and irregular or ceased menses.
l.. Neuropsychiatric -- mood swings, irritability, anxiety, rage (Lyme
rage), poor concentration, cognitive loss, memory loss, loss of appetite,
mental deterioration, depression, disorientation, insomnia
