It began 3 summers ago, an annoying uncomfortable feeling in my sternum. As it grew and became painful, I did the smart thing – I ignored it. Then I did the second smartest thing and started working around it. It vacilated between sharp hot coal poker pain and fat gorilla sitting on my chest. The stupid, denial part of my brain began to rationalize that it must be the bra. From underwire, to sport bras, to tank tops, to cotton – the search began until I had to toss it just to get through the day. The pain was excrutiating and unbearable.
It was just one of many “small” symptoms I was in complete denial about. Some of the more stealthy symptoms of my lyme I was oblivious about, didn’t have the courtesy to cause me such known grief as the center-of-the-chest-bra-pain did. But they were working in muliplicty, flanking my immune system until I was outnumbered and down for the count.
I don’t know what symptoms you are experiencing or ignoring, but they all add up. Denial is a powerful master and can keep you from health, living and a vital existence. The longer the lyme beast challenges and silently breaks down your body, the longer it takes to erradicate it and heal.
In an effort to end on a non-pornographic note – I’m back in a “normal” bra, fully healed and without gorilla-on-chest. To my Seinfeld fans, when Kramer went commando he felt free. Well, I can tell you for certain, to be fully free of this beast and back in my normal gear – I am fully free.
I pray that for all of you struggling, you get the gorilla off your back or chest and find your way to Lyme freedom.
