How Can I Have So Many Illnesses?

I have been feeling down and thoughts of my illnesses came to mind. I know many people have many other illnesses, and I wish them the best in life  I was a sickly child, always with an ear infection.

My life changed in 2012, after spending a year with a Neurologist for a year, all of my tests were abnormal but she didn’t have any answers. After some digging, I realized I had Lyme Disease.

At the time my only illness was Bipolar Disorder and anxiety. How did so many illnesses pop up while in treatment and after treatments for Lyme? I guess that path was meant for me.

Here are the illnesses I struggle with

 

Bipolar Disorder

Anxiety

Remission from Lyme Disease 

Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease

Sjögeren’s

Tardive Dyskinesia

Hypogammaglobulinemia

Cognitive Impairment

Fibromyalgia

Anemia

Chronic Fatigue

PTSD

And four newly diagnosed Neurologic Disorders, I’ll know more after seeing a Neurologist on March 5th.

Stay posted for an update on the Neurological Disorders.

    1. I will hopefully get good or ok from the Neurologist. 4 newly diagnosed Neurological Disorders is a bit scary. But his appt is less than two weeks away. That information will settle my mind or give me more to accept. Pacing? Sometimes, it’s hard because so many days I’m not able to write or nap. Thanks for the kind words. We’ll see. Have a great day. :)

  1. I’m sorry for all your struggles, Melinda. You have immunity disorders, and so it seems like we’re more vulnerable. We need to try to keep everything in balance, somehow.

    I have an upcoming appointment with a functional medicine practitioner on March 16. I’ve given up on traditional medicine. It seems their solution is another medication that causes another problem for me.

  2. My thoughts are with you Melinda. I know how draining health issues can be. I’ll be thinking about you and crossing my fingers and toes that it isn’t more bad news for you.

    My best wishes that you have a easy day!
