The Silver Lyming Episode -25 with Nancy

Imagine having 38 surgeries and your doctor telling you he cannot operate on you anymore because you have had so many surgeries, but you still had health issues, and that they now really need to get to the root cause of her issues!?! This is what happened to Nancy. She has had 38 surgeries over three decades to combat issues in her body and she finally got to a neurosurgeon who finally told her they cannot operate anymore without understanding what was really happening to her body. He ultimately diagnosed her with Lyme, mold poisoning, and three co-infections. He suspected that is why she had to have so many surgeries because the tick-borne illness was attacking her body.

Nancy is so grateful she wound up seeing that neurosurgeon, as he is also a Lyme survivor, and he was able to help her fix herself. She was a competitive athlete and was in good shape her whole life, until the early 90s, when things started failing her in her body and the surgeries began. She tried various treatments once she received her diagnosis through the guidance of her neurosurgeon, but nothing helped. Her doctor finally prescribed disulfiram that she took for six months, which was very hard on her body, but she achieved remission after this cycle.

After the disulfiram, she was able to start working out again and get her life back. She had not been able to work out for the four years prior to this time and that was very hard for her given how much of a staple working out was to her life. She is now even able to do cardio again, which took a bit more time for her to regain the capacity to do. Leading up to her diagnosis, she even had to stop driving because her brain was not working well, and she was not comfortable with the potential outcomes.

As Nancy began coming back to "life" and healing, she realized how important it is to celebrate every win we get while healing, even if they are "small" and the healthy world cannot understand, because these victories help push us forward on our journey and they can become some of the biggest victories of our lives. Her faith in God and the love of her husband also helped her get through this battle.

Nancy is now well and living her life to the fullest. She is grateful to still be here and has been so impacted by her journey to heal from Lyme and tick-borne illness that she volunteers with the Global Lyme Alliance (www.globallymealliance.org) as a mentor for those still going through the struggle. This is a great program available for FREE to help give you a person to turn to in your fight. Please reach out to GLA and Nancy if you are wanting to participate in this program.
