Ndimakumbukira bwino chizindikiro changa choyamba cha Lyme. Unali June 2013 ndipo ndinali patchuthi ku Alabama kuchezera banja. Tsiku lina m'mawa, ndinadzuka ndili ndi khosi lolimba modabwitsa, lolimba kwambiri moti sindinkatha kukhudza chibwano changa mpaka pachifuwa, komanso zizindikiro zina zozizira, monga kutopa ndi mutu. Ndidazichotsa ngati kachilombo kapena china chake chomwe ndidanyamula mundege ndikudikirira. Pambuyo masiku 10 kapena kupitilira apo, zonse zidakwaniritsidwa.

Koma m'miyezi ingapo yotsatira, zizindikilo zosamveka zimabwera ndikutha. Ndinkatengera ana anga kusambira ndipo sindinkatha kuponya miyendo yanga pansi pamadzi chifukwa mfundo za m’chiuno zinali zopweteka kwambiri. Kapenanso ndimatha kudzuka pakati pausiku ndikumva kupweteka kwambiri kumapazi. Sindinawone dokotala chifukwa sindinkadziwa momwe ndingagwirizanitse zizindikiro zanga zonse.

Kenako pakugwa koyambirira, zizindikiritso zimayamba kubwera ndikupita. M'maganizo, ndimamva ngati ndili ndi matenda amisala. Ndikanakhala pakati pa chiganizo ndikuyamba chibwibwi chifukwa cha mawu anga. Imodzi mwa nthawi zomwe ndimatanthauzira kwambiri inali nditasiya ana anga kusukulu m'mawa wina, mtunda wa mailosi kuchokera kunyumba kwanga. Ndinatsika mgalimoto yanga ndipo sindimadziwa kuti ndinali kuti kapena ndibwerera kunyumba. Tsiku lina ndinalephera kupeza galimoto yanga pamalo oimikapo magalimoto. Ndinafunsa mwana wanga wamwamuna, "Wokondedwa, ukuwona galimoto ya Amayi?" "Ali patsogolo panu," adayankha. Komabe, ndinanena kuti ndi ubongo wa ubongo.

Tsiku lina madzulo ndinayamba kulemba zizindikiro zanga zonse mu Google. Matenda a Lyme anapitiriza kufalikira. Ndinagwetsa misozi kwa mwamuna wanga. Kodi izi zingatheke bwanji? Ndinali wathanzi moyo wanga wonse.

Chizindikiro chomwe pamapeto pake chidandifikitsa kwa dokotala chinali kugundana kwamtima komwe kumandipangitsa kumva ngati ndikudwala mtima. Koma kuyezetsa magazi kuchipatala mwachangu m'mawa wotsatira kunabweranso kuti alibe matenda a Lyme.

Ndikapitiliza kufufuza kwanga pa intaneti, ndikuwunika ma board a mauthenga a Lyme, ndidaphunzira momwe zinalili zovuta kuti ndipezeke, makamaka chifukwa chosayesa mokwanira. Ndinapeza zomwe zimatchedwa dokotala wa Lyme (LLMD) -mawu omwe amatanthauza dokotala wamtundu uliwonse yemwe amadziwa za Lyme ndipo amamvetsa momwe angadziwire ndi kuchiza bwino-omwe amangolipira $ 500 pa ulendo woyamba (wopanda inshuwalansi pa all), pomwe madokotala ambiri amalipira masauzande ambiri.

LLMD inatsimikizira kuti ndinali ndi matenda a Lyme kupyolera mu kuyesa kwapadera kwa magazi, komanso anaplasmosis, imodzi mwa matenda ambiri omwe nkhupakupa zimatha kudutsa ndi Lyme. Tsoka ilo, nditatha miyezi iwiri ndikumwa mankhwala opha maantibayotiki popanda zotsatira - a LLMD anandiuza "palibe chomwe ndingakuchitireni."

Ndinalibe chiyembekezo ndipo ndinali wamantha. Ndinali ndi ana awiri achichepere omwe amafuna amayi awo ndi amuna awo omwe amayendera dziko lapansi pantchito yake. Koma ndinapitiliza kukumba kafukufuku ndikuphunzira momwe ndingathere. Ndidaphunzira kuti chithandizo cha matenda a Lyme komanso njira yoyenera yofotokozera matendawa ndi yotsutsana kwambiri. Madokotala sakugwirizana pazamtundu wa zizindikiro za matenda a Lyme, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti chithandizo chokwanira chikhale chovuta kupeza kwa odwala ambiri. Iwo omwe alibe njira zogulira kapena kupezeka kwa adokotala a LLMD kapena Lyme amatha kuvutika kuti apezenso thanzi lawo.

Chifukwa chake ndidadzitengera ndekha ndikukhala wondithandizira, kutembenukira ku chilengedwe pomwe zimawoneka kuti ndatha njirazi zamankhwala wamba. Ndapeza njira zambiri zothetsera matenda a Lyme, kuphatikizapo mankhwala azitsamba. Patapita nthawi, ndinapeza chidziwitso chokwanira cha momwe zitsamba ndi tiyi zinathandizira zizindikiro zanga zomwe ndinayamba kupanga zosakaniza zanga za tiyi ndikuyambitsa blog. Ngati ndikulimbana ndi chifunga cha ubongo ndikusowa kumveka bwino m'maganizo, ndimapanga tiyi wosakaniza ndi ginkgo biloba ndi tiyi woyera; ngati ndinalibe mphamvu, ndikanafuna tiyi wokhala ndi caffeine wambiri, monga yerba mate. Patapita nthawi, ndinapanga maphikidwe anga ambiri omwe amandithandiza kuti ndizitha masiku anga.

Potsirizira pake, kudzera mwa zomwe mnzanga ananena, ndidapeza dokotala wopatsirana yemwe amadziwika bwino ndi zamankhwala amkati. Ndinapangana kuti tionane, ndipo posakhalitsa ndinayamba kupanga maantibayotiki atsopano. [Chidziwitso cha Mkonzi: Maantibayotiki nthawi zambiri amakhala njira yoyamba pochiza matenda a Lyme, koma pali mitundu yambiri yosiyanasiyana komanso mikangano yambiri pakati pa madokotala pa momwe angachiritsire matendawa]. Dotoloyu anali kundichirikiza kupitiriza ndondomeko yanga ya tiyi/zitsamba kuwonjezera pa mankhwala amphamvu kwambiri amene anandipatsa. Mankhwala atatu (maantibayotiki, zitsamba, ndi tiyi) adachita izi. Pambuyo pa miyezi 18 ndikulandira chithandizo champhamvu, ndinali wokonzeka.

Mpaka lero, ndikunena kuti tiyi adapulumutsa moyo wanga ndikundithandiza kuti ndipirire tsiku lililonse lotopetsa pamene ndikulimbana ndi kuchiritsa chitetezo changa chosweka komanso kutopa kwambiri. Ichi ndichifukwa chake, mu Juni wa 2016, ndidakhazikitsa Tiyi Wamtchire Wamtchire. Cholinga cha kuphatikiza kwathu tiyi ndikuthandiza anthu kukhala ndi moyo mokwanira. Ngati mumakhala moyo wokangalika, mudzagundika pang'ono panjira. Koma posamalira matupi athu ndi thanzi lathu, timakhala okonzeka kuthana ndi nkhawa komanso chipwirikiti.

Ndipamene tiyi amabwera. Mukumva mphamvu zochepa? Imwani yerba mate kapena green tea. Chifunga chaubongo chikukulepheretsani? Dzithirani kapu ya mandimu, coriander, ndi tiyi wa timbewu tonunkhira.

Matenda a Lyme adasintha moyo wanga. Zinandiphunzitsa kufunika kwenikweni kwa thanzi. Popanda thanzi, mulibe chilichonse. Chithandizo changa cha Lyme chidandilimbikitsa chidwi chatsopano mwa ine ndikundikakamiza kugawana zomwe ndimakonda ndi ena. Wild Leaf wakhala chandamale cha moyo wanga pambuyo pa Lyme ndipo wakhala ntchito yopindulitsa kwambiri yomwe ndakhalapo nayo. Kuyambira kalekale ndakhala munthu woyembekezera zinthu zabwino. Ndikukhulupirira kuti chiyembekezo ichi ndichimodzi mwazomwe zidayendetsa kutsimikiza kwanga, zomwe zidandithandiza kufikira kukhululukidwa. Chiyembekezochi ndi chomwe chimandipangitsa kumva kuti ndine wodalitsika chifukwa cha zovuta zomwe Lyme adabweretsa m'moyo wanga.

Chifukwa cha Lyme, ndili ndi mphamvu zamaganizidwe, zathupi, zauzimu komanso zam'maganizo. Tsiku lililonse ndi losangalatsa ndipo ndikuthokoza kwambiri kuti Lyme wanditsegulira chitseko ichi.
