This time, I’m writing about a deeply personal issue. I’m sharing my story because so many people are suffering from the same condition without knowing what it is or what to do about it.
When I was 11 years old, I had three ticks on my head and an excruciating headache. I went to take a shower, removed the ticks, and the headache disappeared. I forgot about the whole incident.
At 12, I began experiencing strange neurological issues — hallucinations and a distorted sense of reality. I thought that was just how life was, so I lived with it.
The first truly serious episode happened when I was 19. I started hallucinating extremely graphic, gory images that felt completely real. It became so intense that it was hard to function. Believing it was a psychological problem, I went to a psychologist for about eight months. The therapy helped tremendously, and the symptoms eventually passed.
Over the following years, I dealt with a wide range of unexplained health problems. No doctor could tell me what was causing them. The neurological symptoms would return periodically — horrific hallucinations that haunted me. I tried every diet, health practice, and natural approach I could find. Some things helped temporarily, but nothing provided a lasting cure.
Eventually, I hit rock bottom. In complete desperation, I did an Essene fast in the jungle. For the first time in years, I finally felt good. But the moment I returned to eating normally, the symptoms came back aggressively and threw me into a dangerous psychotic state.
Thankfully, I found my way back to logic and pulled myself out of it. Then, on my 40th birthday, something almost divine happened — I got another tick bite. For the first time, I heard about Lyme disease.
I immediately took preventative antibiotics on the advice of a very good friend. For the first time in decades, I felt like myself again.
I went to a doctor and asked if it was possible that I had been dealing with this since I was 11. He confirmed that I might have chronic Lyme infection. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the funds for treatment in the US, so I found a doctor in Mexico and started treatment right away.
I took the test, and it confirmed I was infected with Borrelia bacteria — the pathogen responsible for Lyme disease, which can cause all the symptoms I had experienced for nearly 30 years.
I began a treatment protocol of 3-month cycles of antibiotics. It wasn’t easy, but I could clearly see it was working. Most importantly, all my neurological issues disappeared — something no other method had ever achieved.
After two full cycles (six months total), I feel significantly better and am slowly returning to myself. I still have some lingering issues, but at least my brain can function somewhat normally again.
I grew up in a culture where you’re not supposed to talk about your problems. Complaining is not acceptable, and no one really listens anyway. I stayed silent about this for a very long time. But I’ve realized I need to speak up.
Lyme disease is spreading around the world, yet there is still very little awareness or information about it. It’s a vicious bacteria, and living with it is pure torture. I was lucky — I wasn’t paralyzed or completely incapacitated like many others. I owe a lot to sports and music, which helped carry me through the darkest times.
If you’re experiencing unexplained neurological symptoms, chronic fatigue, weird health issues that doctors can’t explain, or anything similar to what I described — please get tested for Lyme disease. There are treatments available.
This is not about fear-mongering. It’s about awareness. This condition can rob a person of their full potential to live a healthy and happy life.
I hope we can spread awareness about Lyme disease, promote real healing, and help each other get better.
