RE: Birthday wishes
Thank you for your wishes and sharing your story. I will look more into functional medical doctors, as I am not familiar with their approach. I am glad to hear that you were able to recover and feel better.
Sometimes they go under 'integrative' too but you want a medical doctor. A lot of times you can find really good ones through your local healthfood store (word of mouth - they hear it all from people coming in their stores)....maybe even your citydata forum. When you get some names then followup researching reviews, their website, their credentials/awards.
I can promise you that this is the way to go. I was at death's door. There are things that can be done to knock lyme back and even rid the body of it. One of the other aspects of being so sick is that the environment in doctors offices are additionally depressing and scary and demeaning - NOT with these doctors - you are a human being not a number. Everything is explained to you rather than told to you, your appointments are an hour or more rather than 5 or 10 minutes. And they will offer you several cutting edge therapies that actually work. You will be a partner in this treatment with your doctor and you can also keep your other doctors if that is what you want to do - it's about teamwork. Honestly, I think this is why a lot of conventional doctors end up going into functional medicine - through their experiences with patients.
It's a lot of work but once your energy starts rebounding, it gets MUCH easier - which is pretty fast. HOPE
