Lyme Treatment Gave Me My Life Back!

Before I came here to Dr Minkoff’s clinic for treatment I was so sick I felt like I was on my way out. My life was ending as Lyme disease had taken over and was quickly deteriorating my body.

I was so sick. I woke up every day with pain and just felt sick and very fatigued daily.

I found a tick under my skin 4 years ago after camping here in north FL. After I removed the tick, 3 weeks later the symptoms started. There was no bullseye rash and you don’t need one to show to have Lyme. Some get the rash and some don’t.

• I couldn’t pick my legs up out of bed. I had to use my hands to pick them up to move them on the side of the bed to get up. They felt like they weighed a ton.
• I couldn’t walk straight once I did get out of bed. I used to jump happily out of bed and run 2 miles each morning. This wasn’t happening for me anymore.
• I had MS symptoms.
• I had brain fog. I couldn’t have conversations anymore. I couldn’t find my words.
• I became depressed.
• I couldn’t hold a fork.
• I became very sensitive to the sun as it felt like it was burning my skin and my eyes became so sensitive to the light.
• My vision started deteriorating.
• My whole body hurt.
• I became forgetful.

I was sickkkkk! I was a physically fit person before this happened to me. I used to work out, ride bikes, rollerblade, run, etc. all of this had come to a stop!!!

It was time to get help as my life felt like it was slipping away.

I was referred by a friend to Dr Minkoff. I did my own research as well and made an appt for a consult. This is the BEST decision I have ever made in my life! I’m so happy to get this treatment!!! I was assigned to Dr. Dawn, who is amazing!

The treatment gave me my life back!! My brain fog is gone, my heart is back to normal, my lungs are back to normal, my pain went away, my mind is clear again, I can hold conversations now, I don’t feel sick and tired anymore!! I am not a walking zombie anymore!! I still can’t believe it because I never thought I’d feel normal again. I am so happy!!!

My advice to new patients…

• Do exactly as your doctor and nutritionist tells you. I started feeling better around 8-10 weeks once I got rid of the die offs. It’s different for everyone.
• Follow the diet strictly! Avoid all sugars and any carbs that turns to sugars. You don’t want to feed the Lyme bacteria as they are being killed off. They mutate quickly if you feed them. DON’T FEED THEM!
• Take your supplements exactly as the nutritionist says.
• Don’t stress. Rest and let your body heal itself. Stay on top of it all so that you will heal!!

You got this!!! You have one life so take this time to work on yourself and heal!

The doctors, nurses and all of the staff are amazing and always on top of answering any questions you may have. Use your portal to stay on top of things and use emails for any questions for quick response. They are on it! They know what they are doing. Trust them!

Be patient while going through treatment. It is a process and it takes time for your body to adjust as it heals. Keep the gut healthy by continuing to follow the diet they have you on even after you are done with treatment.

Give it time, this treatment will help you get your life back!!!
