The Silver Lyming: Episode 28 with Susan Parnell

Susan's symptoms started, but she was unaware of ticks or the diseases they carry at the time. Her family had just moved and she was enjoying their new environment surrounded by nature. She would happily run after her children in the woods without a second thought. Her symptoms progressed and after about a year, she started googling them and was pretty sure she had found the culprit, Lyme disease. She asked to be tested for Lyme and tick-borne illness and the test came back negative, a far too common false negative test. The doctor had prescribed her doxycycline however, before knowing the test results, as the doctor told her to wait for the results before taking it, but she opted to take it anyway. Susan began herxing right away, so she got herself to a Lyme-literate physician to get screened properly. She finally got an accurate diagnosis, which led her down a path of learning how to fix herself. She made up her mind after that, that she was going to win and not let the tiny microorganisms get her. She started studying about herbs and became very passionate about using them to heal her body through teas. Ultimately Susan built her own tea company to help others heal as well. She is very knowledgeable about herbs now and she continues to support herself with a healthy lifestyle now that she is in remission. I hope her story inspires you as much as it did me because I had been introduced to Susan when I was in the height of my sickness and I found much strength in her journey.
