The Silver Lyming: Episode 33 with Quinn Smith

Quinn's story is no short of being a miracle and I hope you are as moved by it as I am. Quinn was sick for 10 years and had been told it was lupus and fibromyalgia. She was doing home care at the time and was helping someone who lived in a very moldy environment. This really heightened her symptoms. She started struggling with a lot of "mental disorders" but no one could ever really figure out what was happening to her.

Quinn decided to move to FL to try to help herself get better, but she did not have insurance there, so she ultimately had to return home. She knew deep inside that something was drastically wrong with her other than what she was diagnosed with, but she was out of explanations.

She can remember losing her sense of touch one day and could hardly drive, but she managed to get herself to the hospital. Her white blood cell count was the highest the doctor said he ever saw in a living person. She also developed bilateral Bell's palsy.

Finally, she was starting to get some better intel as to what was wrong with her, but it took her having to pass out and wake up in the ICU for them to figure out she was "full" of Lyme spirochetes and coinfections. Quinn was happy to get the diagnosis thinking like so many of us that she just needed a few antibiotics, but that was not the case. She sadly lost the ability to walk and was shaking horribly. She was given a lot of meds to counteract those symptoms, but those drugs were not particularly helpful to her.

She wound up with 12 lesions on her brain and was sent to a nursing home to relearn how to be a human for 20 months.

Ultimately, she had to figure out how to heal herself through countless hours of research and using guidance from online support groups for tick-borne illness. She had to do a lot of things under the radar of the nursing home because they did not necessarily support the holistic remedies she was using to help herself.

Quinn is now fully healed and back among the living. She has some so far with her healing and has so much to live for. Check out her full story on this week's episode.
