My Friend Amy saw 16 Doctors in 3 years Before Being Properly DX'd & Treated For Lyme Disease
Hey Guys, I wasn't going to post until tomorrow, but when I read my friend Amy Tiehel's inspiring post, I had to share it with you!

I've known Amy for over 10 years and she's amazing woman. Talented, smart as a whip, incredibly beautiful and down to earth. We in Jersey refer to her type as : Good People!

Unfortunately for Amy, she became VERY sick 3 years ago while living in LA, and no matter what Dr. she went to, no one would listen to her.

Amy fought to be seen and fought to have her voice as a patient be heard, and I truly believe that her story will inspire everyone who read it! Regardless if they have Lyme Disease, diabetes, or just a feeling deep in their gut that something is wrong - Even though they've seen a multitude of doctors & have been diagnosed with a multitude of different disease/ chronic illnesses - all most all of them, WRONG!

Amy writes a blog called: Lymeadvokit.blogspot.com and that's where she wrote this amazing amazing letter to the 16 Doctors that she's seen in the past 3 years - Be prepared to be blown away!!!


Amy- You're such an incredible inspiration and I'm so proud and honored to call you my friend!!!!

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN....THE DIABETES CIRCUS PROUDLY PRESENTS THE BALANCING ACT OF A DIABETIC'S LIFE........"

Painting by Marc Chagall


After my last post where I blamed Scotty J for my wild blood sugar ride, BetterCell and I had a dialogue and we both came to the exact same conclusion in the reader comments section of said post.

We both feel that Living with Diabetes is like living life under the big top. It's a balancing act, a 3 Ring Circus whose acts continue to change, amaze, and challenge us on a daily basis.

With that being said; yours truly began to imagine the following D-Circus Maximus in vivid detail.

Imagine if you will, a pancreas shaped tent where the Greatest Show on earth, "The Balancing Act of A Diabetics Life" takes place. listen as the Ring Master explains my act with "Candy Girl" and "Pour Some Sugar on Me" alternately accompanying the various diabetic feats.

IT'S SHOWTIME!
(and for the sake of time & space in d-blogville, it's is a one-woman show)

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the Diabetes Circus Balancing Act of a Diabetics Life, Proudly Presents,

The Amazing Miss Kelly K, T1 for 30 years and and LIVING a KICK-ASS LIFE!

Watch as she CONSTANTLY jumps through Rings of Fire to OWN her Blood Sugars on a daily basis!

See her bravely (Stupidly?) pricking her finger with just a single lancet-sans Pen, & checks her blood sugar. Watch in AMAZEMENT as she CALCULATES DIABETES MATH, counts her carbs, takes her blood sugar, and correctly boluses for every meal she eats!

Pulling it all together to reach BLOOD SUGAR NIRVANA!

OBSERVE as she CORRECTLY ESTIMATES how many carbs in a 1/2 cup serving of Ben and Jerry's Vanilla ice cream ( 18grams,) a small apple ( 15 grams - 4 grams of fiber = 11 grams,) and a 1 Cup serving of Lowfat Silk Vanilla Soy milk (10grams -1 gram of fiber = 9grams of carb)

Watch in ASTONISHMENT as she PRECISELY identifies which spinning plate has the correct two ounce service of cooked pasta !!!!! A tricky feat that could screw up Blood Sugar Nirvana in an instant if not properly identified and bolused for.

Prepare to be DUMBFOUNDED by her DEXTERITY as she & her pump tubing DEFY & DANCE around DOORKNOBS, EDGES and LEDGES - Most of the time.

Be AMAZED as she not only changes her infusion set in the blink of an eye, but rotates the location as well. ALL IN UNDER 30 SECONDS. Now you see it, now you don't!

Watch her as she NAVIGATES on the Tightrope of life, handling a low blood sugar at work and still maintains her dignity.

Listen and learn as she CONTINUALLY EDUCATES herself on all the latest and greatest Diabetes breakthroughs, studies, and technical accouterments that hit the Diabetes market on a daily basis.

Join her as she WORKS IT ALL OUT, before her actual workout.
Taking her blood sugar; figuring out her temporary basal rate, and MAGICALLY concealing a Lara Bar; B.S. machine, emergency $5, and house keys on her person - And still manages not to look like a bag lady.

Listen in AWE as she handles PEOPLES STUPID QUESTIONS AND STATEMENTS regarding diabetes & Take bets on whether or not she will keep calm and educate the person on the difference between t1 and t2, or if she'll loose her cool entirely and verbally annihilates them with her sardonic wit. "

It's a job, it's an adventure, it's a pain in the ass, and it is OUR life.

The MMR Vaccine. Our GP's, the NHS and Big Pharma know it's dangerous!

The MMR Vaccine. Our GP's, the NHS and Big Pharma know it's dangerous!
How would you describe a vaccine that caused Seizures, Febrile Convulsions, Diabetes, Pancreatitis, Purpura, Arthritis, Myalgia, Encephalitis,  Guillian-Barre Syndrome, Meningitis, Retinitis, and DEATH? More to the point, would you take it? Or would you give it to your child?

These are just a few of the diseases that are apparently caused by the MMR Vaccine.

Your doctor, the NHS, and the Big Pharma companies tell us that the vaccine is safe. They urge us to ensure that our children are vaccinated. Many people within the Conventional Medical Establishment support compulsory vaccination.

And our Media, headed by the public broadcaster, the BBC, appear to support them in this, unreservedly, and without any serious questioning. Indeed, BBC News seems to go out of their way to urge us all to ensure that we, and our children, are fully vaccinated.

Jeremy Paxman, on Newsnight (9th April 2013) appeared incredulous that mandatory vaccination was not imposed in Britain. He interviewed just two people, both in support of vaccination, one in support of compulsorily vaccination. This is typical of BBC's lack of impartiality. Whilst Paxman clearly expressed his personal views, he (and the BBC) clearly have no knowledge that there are real and genuine concerns about the safety of vaccines.

But, I hear you say, how do we know that the MMR vaccine causes these diseases? Where is the evidence? Our doctors, the NHS, and the Department of Health would surely not approve a vaccine, or a drug, that can cause such dangers.

Well, according to this website, they DO know, and the information comes on the MMR package insert from the manufacturer. Merck lists the following adverse reactions on their package insert.

  • Panniculitis 
  • atypical measles 
  • fever 
  • syncope 
  • headache 
  • dizziness 
  • malaise 
  • irritability 
  • vasculitis 
  • pancreatitis 
  • diarrhea 
  • vomiting 
  • parotitis 
  • nausea 
  • diabetes mellitus 
  • thrombocytopenia 
  • purpura 
  • regional lymphadenopathy 
  • leukocytosis 
  • Anaphylaxis and anaphylactoid reactions 
  • angioneurotic edema 
  • bronchial spasms 
  • arthritis 
  • anthralgia 
  • myalgia 
  • encephalitis 
  • encephalopathy 
  • subacute sclerosing panencephalitis 
  • Guillian Barre Syndrome 
  • febrile convulsions 
  • seizures 
  • ataxia 
  • polyneuritis 
  • polyneuropathy 
  • ocular palsies 
  • paresthesia 
  • aseptic meningitis 
  • Pneumonitis 
  • sore throat 
  • cough 
  • rhinitis 
  • Stevens-Johnson syndrome 
  • erythema multiforme 
  • urticaria 
  • rash 
  • pruritis 
  • nerve deafness 
  • otitis media 
  • retinitis 
  • optic neuritis 
  • papillitis 
  • retrobulbar neuritis 
  • conjunctivitis 
  • Orchitis 
  • DEATH 
The issue here is not just that this vaccine causes these diseases, it is that parents and patients are not being told about it, either by the Conventional Medical Establishment, or by the British Media.

So, we need to know from the Department of Health, the NHS, and our GP's, why we are not being told about this.

And we need to know from the British Media, including the BBC, why they are not fulfilling their duty to inform the public.
