When I start to think about them I know I do. Looking at your list TBI symptoms can be rough. TBI means tick born illnesses including lyme and co-infections. It is easy to feel overwhelmed or defeated.
Lyme is known as the great imitator, and presents a variable and confusing array of symptoms. Doctors who often treat you in terms of the lens of a 15 minute visit can easily miss patterns that may point at tick borne illness. It can be easy to mistake lyme &co-infection symptoms for autoimmunity or something else.
Because of the many ways you can feel badly due to tick borne illnesses, it is more important than ever to get regular checkups. It is easy to dismiss serious symptoms as Lyme and co-ninfections even when they are not. Actively manifest health by being proactive. Do the tests recommended by your doctor for heart health and cancer prevention.
Spend your energy and time on treating symptoms and building wellness. Track your symptoms so that you can address them.Take serious symptoms very seriously and tap into your health care team pronto. Build wellness and strength with self care routines that focus your food, life style choices and exercise choice on health.
