Welcome to the Anti-Inflammatory Life Blog!
If you're reading this, you probably have problems with inflammation. I feel you. I do, too.My body changed radically after battling with Lyme Disease. I was diagnosed via Western Blot and ELISA tests twice - first, in May of 2007, and then again in June of 2013. Both bouts were painful and a brutal struggle for my mind and body; the second bout left me with chronic illness.
I have been diagnosed with three kinds of arthritis - Lyme arthritis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. While the Lyme arthritis was expected to fade away, the other two are life sentences. I will never be without pain again, and I'm in my early 40's.
It was a lot to process.
Since my diagnosis, I have gone through the five stages of grief, and finally arrived at acceptance. This blog is my way of documenting my journey. I hope to reach out to others who also deal with chronic pain. Share your stories, your advances, the things you learn.
I wish you healing.
