Ruschelle Khanna's Battle with Lyme Disease: From Misdiagnosis to Healing
Lyme to me is a psycho-spiritual experience. It is not that for everyone... but for some people going through something like Lyme... can radically, radically change your life for the better.
Imagine being misdiagnosed over and over again while battling a mysterious illness. That was Ruschelle Khanna's reality. In this episode of 'Mental Insights', Ruschelle opens up to Brendan Cutuli about her tumultuous journey with Lyme disease. Her story is one of resilience and self-advocacy, as she navigated through chronic mental health issues like anxiety and mood swings, all while facing the debilitating effects of Lyme disease.
Ruschelle's symptoms were severe, including seizures and hallucinations, which pushed her to seek answers relentlessly. After countless misdiagnoses, she finally found relief through a combination of osteopathic therapy and supplements. But her journey didn't stop there. Ruschelle discovered a controversial link between Lyme disease and mercury toxicity, shedding light on an often-overlooked aspect of the illness. Her experience serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of self-care and the need to advocate for one's health.
This episode isn't just about Lyme disease; it's about the broader implications of chronic illness on mental health and the transformative power of resilience. If you're looking for a story that combines personal struggle with hope and healing, Ruschelle's journey will resonate deeply.
