Am I Going Crazy? The Neuroinflammation of Lyme & Autoimmunity

If you’ve ever felt like you’re walking through a dream or trapped in a two-dimensional simulation, this episode is a vital lifeline for understanding derealization in chronic illness. We peel back the terrifying "psychiatric" labels to reveal the true culprit: physical neuroinflammation triggered by Lyme, mold, and autoimmune flares. You’ll learn how a "histamine storm" and activated microglia force your brain into a survival-based perception shift that blunts your emotions and mutes the world around you. Most importantly, we discuss why this state isn't permanent and how lowering brain inflammation is the essential first step to feeling solid again. You aren't losing your mind; your brain is simply an organ under fire, and there is a clear path back to yourself.Connect with me @dr.rachel.holistic on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and Substack.
