A poem I have written for #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth

[Vicky Hamlin @VictoriaHamlin8]

@AutoImmuneZen Yes I feel a dysregulated nervous system contributes to so many symptoms. And having Chronic Lyme Disease a high toxic load too. My Nutritionist gave me a list of tools than can support the vagus nerve to try and help.

I am now in my 8th year bedbound with the debilitating Chronic Lyme Disease. I find it incredibly hard to ask ifor help so my amazing friend Keri has set up a justgiving page. Every £1 helps. Insta @tiny_but_tenacious

To all my #chronicillness warriors be proud of yourself for surviving all that you have 🙏✨ #poetry

[Vicky Hamlin @VictoriaHamlin8]

@samaritans Thank you for sharing this. I have been bedbound 7 years now with Chronic Illness and find it hard not to compare myself to others further along in their healing journey. As you say it's not always linear and every step counts.

Race Ready 💪 Claire, @ahamlinuk and Laura at the start of the #GreatNorthRun running for Team @UKLyme raising #Awareness and funds for #LymeDisease 💚

@LAWmedd @drkeithsiau Thank you so much. Yes although I'm in the UK I'm now working virtually with an LLMD in the US. I appreciate your message 💚🙏✨

[Vicky Hamlin @VictoriaHamlin8]

@VanessaKriscoer @drkeithsiau Thank you for your advice, yes I also have POTS - I am hoping that as I heal from Lyme these symptoms will also improve. I agree with you in that the symptoms overlap and it can often be hard to know what's causing what.

[Vicky Hamlin @VictoriaHamlin8]

@drkeithsiau Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm currently working with a US Dr and have started the Cellcore Lyme Protocol. These herbal supplements are very slowly helping. Also working with my counsellor and calming my nervous system down is key as my body is always in fight/flight mode.

[Vicky Hamlin @VictoriaHamlin8]

@MorvenMay Congratulations that's amazing! 👏🎉 You give people like me hope not only that I can improve and heal but that I can achieve great things again 💚🙏✨ xx

[Vicky Hamlin @VictoriaHamlin8]

@UKLyme I also try to raise awareness where I can but do it all from being bedridden hence the less glamorous photo!💚

[Vicky Hamlin @VictoriaHamlin8]

@UKLyme Great photos 💚✨

[Vicky Hamlin @VictoriaHamlin8]

@anguszwalker Great photos, reminds me of when I was well and had a fab weekend here watching my brother's run the Valencia half marathon. We hired bikes and cycled from the old town all through the gardens to the beach. Fun times and happy memories 🤗

[Vicky Hamlin @VictoriaHamlin8]

@anguszwalker Enjoy! I love Valencia, such a great city 🧡🍻

[Vicky Hamlin @VictoriaHamlin8]

@ProjectLyme Thank you! 💚✨

[Vicky Hamlin @VictoriaHamlin8]

Thank you for sharing my story @ProjectLyme and getting the awareness out there. Early diagnosis for #lymedisease is crucial. Prevention is better than treatment. Please be aware and check for ticks 💚✨

In 2016, Vicky Hamlin took a trip around the world and began experiencing digestive issues and leg pain, followed by other symptoms. It took 4 years to get a #LymeDisease diagnosis. Today, she is housebound and takes solace in writing #poetry via @MetroUK https://t.co/R1QjyD1c2T

@ProjectLyme @MetroUK Thank you for sharing my story 💚✨

@drkeithsiau Looks like Bartonella to me. Bart is my hardest coinfection to treat, it feels the most stubborn!
