What Parts Of The Body Does Lyme Disease Target

Looking for the Light4 Comments

I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease and its coinfections in 2014. It controlled my life while the virus spread across my body setting up a house in my brain and causing cognitive impairment. The best way to describe how my brain was affected is to say, a machine gun was used on my brain and those memories are gone. In addition, I forget what I was saying and what I was going to do. 

According to The Mayo Clinic Lyme disease is an illness caused by borrelia bacteria. Humans usually get Lyme disease from the bite of a tick carrying the bacteria.


Ticks that can carry borrelia bacteria live throughout most of the United States. But Lyme disease is most common in the upper Midwest and the northeastern and mid-Atlantic states. It’s also common in Europe and in south-central and southeastern Canada.


While most tick bites are harmless, several species can cause life-threatening diseases. Tick-borne diseases include:

Rocky Mountain spotted fever

Lyme disease

Anaplasmosis

Babesiosis

Colorado Tick Fever

Powassan Encephalitis

Tularemia

Ehrlichiosis

Relapsing fever

Areas of the body Lyme targets

If Lyme is detected in the first couple of weeks, an antibody is used for a couple of weeks and you dodged a bullet. A large number of people do not get the Lyme Rash, and by the time symptoms start,  a small amount of antibiotics does not work. The next step is Antibody Therapy. I had a port in my chest and had Antibody Treatments every day at home. It was miserable. 


Know where the ticks are more prominent in your area, avoid the area, or dress appropriately to cut down on having ticks get on you. The last thing to do after every outing is check your ENTIRE body for ticks. Even in the tricky places. Be sure to look in your hair! 

Dogs can get extremely ill if bitten by certain ticks. My sweet Sasha contracted Ehrlichiosis twice, each time it almost killed her. 

Be aware and be vigilant.

The Ultimate Fishing Adventure: Exploring Tamarindo’s Rich Marine Life

Looking for the LightLeave a comment

Tucked away on the picturesque shores of Costa Rica, Tamarindo offers an unparalleled experience for fishing enthusiasts. From the adrenaline rush of reeling in a prized catch to the tranquil beauty of its marine ecosystem, this vibrant coastal town beckons adventurers seeking the ultimate fishing escapade. Join me as we dive into the depths of Tamarindo fishing charters and the area’s rich marine life and discover why it’s a must-visit destination for any angler.

A Gateway to Oceanic Splendor

Nestled along the northwest coast of Costa Rica, Tamarindo boasts a prime location blessed with abundant marine biodiversity. Its crystal-clear waters teem with a myriad of fish species, making it a haven for both novice anglers and seasoned fishermen alike. Whether you’re casting your line from the shore or venturing out into the open sea, Tamarindo offers endless opportunities to encounter the wonders of marine life up close.

Casting Off into Adventure

Embarking on a fishing excursion in Tamarindo is more than just a hobby—it’s an adventure waiting to unfold. With a variety of charters and tours available, anglers can tailor their experience to suit their preferences and skill levels. Whether you prefer offshore trolling for trophy-sized billfish or inshore fishing for roosterfish and snapper, there’s something for everyone in Tamarindo’s diverse fishing scene.

The Thrill of the Chase

Picture yourself aboard a sturdy fishing vessel, the salty breeze in your hair and the sun warming your skin as you scan the horizon for signs of life beneath the waves. As your experienced captain navigates the turquoise waters, anticipation builds with each cast of your line. Suddenly, the reel sings its sweet melody, signaling the start of an exhilarating battle between angler and prey. Whether you’re wrestling with a feisty marlin or testing your skills against a powerful sailfish, the thrill of the chase is an experience like no other.

Conservation and Sustainability

While the thrill of landing a trophy fish is undeniable, responsible angling practices are paramount to preserving Tamarindo’s delicate marine ecosystem for future generations. Many local charters and fishing operators adhere to sustainable fishing practices, promoting catch-and-release techniques to minimize environmental impact. By respecting size limits and avoiding overfished areas, anglers can help ensure Tamarindo’s marine life’s long-term health and vitality.

Beneath the Surface: Marine Marvels Await

Beyond the excitement of angling, Tamarindo’s waters are home to a dazzling array of marine creatures waiting to be discovered. Strap on your snorkel and dive beneath the surface to encounter colorful coral reefs, graceful sea turtles, and schools of tropical fish darting through the water. For the more adventurous souls, scuba diving offers a chance to explore deeper realms where elusive creatures like octopuses and moray eels lurk among the submerged rock formations.

Savoring the Spoils: Culinary Delights of Tamarindo

After a day of casting lines and battling the elements, there’s no better way to unwind than by indulging in the culinary delights that Tamarindo has to offer. Head to one of the local seafood restaurants where expert chefs transform the day’s fresh catches into mouthwatering dishes bursting with flavor. From ceviche made with succulent mahi-mahi to grilled tuna steaks served with a side of plantains, each bite offers a taste of the ocean’s bounty. Pair your meal with a refreshing cocktail crafted from locally sourced ingredients and toast to the day’s adventures. With its vibrant culinary scene, Tamarindo invites you to savor the spoils of your fishing expedition in style.

Tips for Planning Your Fishing Adventure

  1. Choose the Right Charter: Research reputable fishing charters in Tamarindo and read reviews from previous anglers to ensure a memorable and safe experience.
  2. Pack Accordingly: Don’t forget to bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of water to stay hydrated during your fishing excursion.
  3. Listen to the Experts: Trust the guidance of your captain and crew—they know the local waters and can help maximize your chances of success.
  4. Embrace the Unexpected: Keep an open mind and be prepared for surprises along the way, whether spotting dolphins playing in the wake or reeling in a fish you never expected at the marine playground.

Q&A: Your Top Fishing Questions Answered

Q: What is the best time of year for fishing in Tamarindo? A: Peak fishing season in Tamarindo typically runs from December to April, coinciding with the dry season when offshore waters are calm and teeming with activity.
Q: What types of fish can I expect to catch in Tamarindo? A: Tamarindo offers a diverse range of fishing opportunities, including marlin, sailfish, dorado, tuna, roosterfish, and snapper, among others.
Q: Do I need a fishing license to fish in Tamarindo? A: Yes, all anglers are required to obtain a fishing license before casting their lines. Your charter operator can assist you in securing the necessary permits.
 

I bet your interest has peaked, check out all the wonders that await.

It’s Presidents Day

Looking for the Light2 Comments

Celebrating Presidents Day is for thinking about all of our Presidents, to me anyway. I would not celebrate several Presidents, especially these days. I take great pride in being American but would love to return to the time when the people mattered.

On this day, my mind goes to our Founding Fathers who laid the groundwork for a civil society. I can imagine how hard that must have been, some love and others hate and the story continues.

I believe in the Constitution, it’s America’s framework, and wish people in office would read and follow the laws. I read a copy of the original Constitution and it’s straightforward. It’s clear who can run for office and who can’t. Those rules are being overlooked today or we would have one less on the campaign trail. The same rules apply to anyone in Congress but they left the book at home.

Sorry, this post isn’t upbeat. We vote for President next year and we have no viable candidates. I see a future with more division, hatred, racism, lying, mass shootings, and losing more personal rights.

That doesn’t make me feel hopeful.

Why I Don’t Have Children

Why I Don’t Have Children

Looking for the Light6 Comments

I don’t think I’ve shared this before, it’s deeply personal. I hope this post will encourage women to learn about Cervical Cancer and keep their annual exam appointments.

I was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer when I was 28 years old. My doctor did a procedure in the office but it did not work, the cancer had spread and I needed a complete hysterectomy. Oddly enough I didn’t react to not being able to have children. I made the decision at 12 years old that children were not in my future.

In 2020, the latest year for which incidence data are available, in the United States, 11,542 new cases of Cervical cancer were reported among women, and 4,272 women died of this cancer. For every 100,000 women, 7 new Cervical cancer cases were reported and 2 women died of this cancer according to the CDC. The data is four years old, and the statistics will be higher in 2024.

The numbers may seem low but if one of the deaths is your’s, the numbers don’t matter.

The doctor asked if my mother or grandmother had a hysterectomy. Both had Ovarian Cancer which increased my chances of getting Ovarian Cancer.

He suggested I have a total hysterectomy, I thought for a few minutes and decided to have a total hysterectomy. I didn’t want to take any chances.

I made the right decision for me. Not every woman wants kids, It’s you and only you that can make the decision.

If the family pressures you to have children, which many parents do, REMEMBER it’s your decision. Set strong boundaries with family and friends by saying you do not want to hear or talk about children, it’s a personal decision and only discussed between the wife and her husband. It’s not their place to pressure you.

Cervical Cancer is sneaky, you don’t know you have it. That is one reason for the yearly PAP exams.

Please read up on the symptoms related to Ovarian and Cervical Cancer. The key is to catch cancer in the early stages. If so, you may not have to have a hysterectomy.

Do You Understand How Inflammation Affects Your Body?

Do You Understand How Inflammation Affects Your Body?

Looking for the Light4 Comments

What Is Inflammation?

Inflammation is a process by which your body’s white blood cells and the things they make protect you from infection from outside invaders, such as bacteria and viruses. But in some diseases, like arthritis, your body’s defense system — your immune system — triggers inflammation when there are no invaders to fight off. In these autoimmune diseases, your immune system acts as if regular tissues are infected or somehow unusual, causing damage.

Inflammation can be either short-lived (acute) or long-lasting (chronic). Acute inflammation goes away within hours or days. Chronic inflammation can last months or years, even after the first trigger is gone. Conditions linked to chronic inflammation include:

Outside of inflammation, these come with a host of other side effects on you and have a tremendous impact on your life. It could lead to you wanting to buy metformin and similar medications, but fruit and vegetables can help, too.

Many fruits and veggies help with inflammation

Juicy Berries, (BlueBerries, strawberries, and Black Berries)

Yummy Avacodos

Mouthwatering dark chocolate

Apples

Grapes

Tomatoes

Olive Oil

Leafy Green Veggies

Oily Fish

Whole Grains

Unsaturated Fats

This is a short list, you can find the complete list. Click on the link below.

I’m reading Calm Your Inflammation by Dr. Brenda Tidwell and will update you as I read more.

Reducing inflammation is critical to people with Chronic Illnesses. We need all the help we can get.

Why You Need To Read The Prescribing Information On Your Medications

Why You Need To Read The Prescribing Information On Your Medications

Looking for the LightLeave a comment

Last Thursday I started a new medication for my kidneys, Myrbetriq and I’ll use their website to discuss what I find most important in their Prescribing Information. Before starting the medication, I go to their website to read all the side effects, when to call the doctor,  when to go to the hospital and take a quick look at the Clinical Trials to see how many people drop out of the trial and what for. Another reason to look at trial information is to see who many were in the trial.

If you want to know all the information, there is plenty to read. I’ve read enough about Clinical Trials to know where to go to find the information I want. To read the entire or some of what Prescribing Information looks like, click here.

Areas I look at on the Prescribing Information.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS 

Increases in Blood Pressure: Can increase blood pressure in adult or
pediatric patients. Periodically monitor blood pressure, especially in
hypertensive patients. MYRBETRIQ/MYRBETRIQ Granules are not
recommended in patients with severe uncontrolled hypertension. (5.1)
• Urinary Retention in Patients With Bladder Outlet Obstruction and in
Patients Taking Muscarinic Antagonist Drugs for Overactive Bladder:
Administer with caution in these patients because of risk of urinary
retention. (5.2)
• Angioedema: Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue, and/or larynx has
been reported with mirabegron. (5.3, 6.2)

ADVERSE REACTIONS 

Most commonly reported adverse reactions with MYRBETRIQ
monotherapy in adult patients with OAB (> 2% and > placebo) were
hypertension, nasopharyngitis, urinary tract infection, and headache.
(6.1)
• Most commonly reported adverse reactions with MYRBETRIQ, in
combination with solifenacin succinate in adult patients with OAB
(> 2% and > placebo and > comparator), were dry mouth, urinary tract
infection, constipation, and tachycardia. (6.1)
• Most commonly reported adverse reactions with
MYRBETRIQ/MYRBETRIQ Granules in pediatric patients with NDO
(≥ 3%) were UTI, nasopharyngitis, constipation, and headache. (6.1)

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

The most frequent adverse events (0.2%) leading to discontinuation in Studies 1, 2, and 3 for the 25 mg or 50 mg dose were nausea, headache, hypertension, diarrhea, constipation, dizziness, and tachycardia.
Atrial fibrillation (0.2%) and prostate cancer (0.1%) were reported as serious adverse events by more than 1 patient and at
a rate greater than placebo.

I hope you take the time to look at one of your medication’s Prescribing Information. You may be surprised by what you read.

Happy Valentines Day

I remember in middle school we gave those little cards to each other and in high school you could buy a Valentine’s message and it was delivered to your chosen one during the day. That was a lot of fun, it was a chance to express your feelings to your friends.

In the past, I’ve had great Valentine’s dinners and all the fanfare when I was younger. Now, my husband and I buy each other a card and I will get a big bouquet of roses. That’s the perfect low-key way to celebrate our special day.

 

 

Valentine’s is the perfect day for self-care, and relaxing.

Happy Valentine’s to everyone!

Help Ukraine *Support Locals By Buying Their Products

Looking for the LightLeave a comment

If you’re looking to support a local business in Ukraine, Etsy.com has many sellers from Ukraine.

I bought two handmade chair pads made on antique looms. Fortunately, this couple is far from fighting and living in the mountains and lovingly taking care of their sheep.

 WovenWoolArt  on Etsy is the shop I love. I’m also viewing the clothes made by the couple in Kosiv, Ukraine.

 

 

The shipping is high, but you must remember it’s coming from a country at war. It’s a miracle that anyone can find a mail station. She’s also generous with discounts on shipping if you buy more than one item.

I pray the fighting doesn’t wipe them out, they shared their concerns including the need for more weapons from America.

Let’s help the locals make a living during the war, they need all the support possible and the American people can help them.

Meet Griffy, She’s A Daddy’s Girl

Looking for the LightLeave a comment

I was looking for a Brussels Griffon without the high price. There is a small but awesome no-kill shelter nearby, and I had talked to about wanting a Brussels Griffon and it wasn’t long before we met Griffy.

She was living on the streets pregnant, fortunately, an employee at Dallas Animal Control sent her to the shelter in Plano. The day I picked her up, she had just said goodbye to her babies and the foster mother. I know she must have been in shock, losing her babies and leaving her foster care and in a new house.

She took a lot of training, arguing about who’s the boss, and she didn’t want much petting but we now have the calmest dog except when she sees the UPS or any large truck going by the house. Her best buddy is her brother Jett whom you met the other day.

 

 

 

 

Giffy is a daddy’s girl, he walks her every day and takes both dogs to the park. When she started sleeping by me it was a total shock. I love her so much.

I’ve shown you, my children, show me yours in the comment section.

Golf is an incredibly popular sport that offers a variety of benefits for those who choose to play. Not only can golf offer physical fitness and an improved lifestyle, but it also provides the chance to organize a tournament. Have you considered organizing or taking part in a san diego golf tournament, for instance? This is something worth looking into as a great part of the world to enjoy a game of golf.

We shall discuss in this article the many advantages of golf, touching on the fitness side and how it helps many live a more fulfilling life. Then we can get more serious and talk about golfing tournaments. These can be run by a golf club, be on a world scale, or simply a friendly one that we organize for family members, friends, or work associates. So, let’s talk more about golf.

How Golf Keeps Us Fit and Improves Our Lifestyle

Golf is a great way to get in shape and stay active. It’s a low-impact sport that can be done at any time of the day while helping golfers improve their golf swing. What’s more, golf encourages golfers to walk around the course, instead of using motorized golf carts. This helps golfers stay active while experiencing the fresh air and outdoors.

In addition to physical fitness benefits, golf can also help improve golfers’ mental health. The game of golf requires a lot of focus and concentration, which has been shown to reduce stress levels and relieve anxiety. Golfers have reported feeling calmer and more relaxed after golfing.

What Golfers Enjoy About Golf Courses

Golfers can enjoy all these advantages as they learn techniques, practice on courses, and compete with other golfers in tournaments. This comes with the opportunity to stay active while having fun or feeling competitive at the same time.

Furthermore, golf can provide great networking opportunities when organizing or participating in tournaments. Whether you’re looking for some extra exercise or just want a change of pace from your everyday routine, golf has something for everyone. Golf is a sport that encourages a diverse range of ages to its game.

Golf Tournaments

Arranging golf tournaments can be a great way to build relationships within a golfing community. With golf being so popular, there are numerous golf courses one can join. A tournament can also be used as an excellent marketing opportunity to generate media exposure and attract new golfers.

Competitions can be open to all golfers, or members of golf clubs could organize private tournaments. Whichever type you choose to run, it can be a great way to build camaraderie between golfers and also allow golfers from all over the world a chance to compete. It’s important to remember that a tournament takes time and money to organize, so make sure you’re prepared for the task.

If you are winning games, why not see if there is a chance you might be able to turn professional and enter the bigger tournaments on the world stage? Achieving this can be a combination of talent, practice, commitment, opportunity, and a willingness to travel. It helps when we have a supportive team behind us.

Golf is an excellent sport that offers a variety of benefits, including enhanced physical fitness and improved lifestyles. For golfers looking to take their game further, the tournament provides a great platform to get together with competitors locally, nationally, or globally. Golf clubs and courses provide the location for all levels. The sport provides plenty of opportunities for players to stay active while having fun and building life-long relationships with fellow golfers. So what are you waiting for? Get involved today!
