>TORONTO -- A Canadian woman has been left with the brain of a 70-year-old after suffering from Lyme disease for more than seven years without treatment because she says tests failed to give her a proper diagnosis.
Nikki Kent was bitten by a tick in 2013 at the age of 17, but didn't think much of it at the time. Kent said she noticed the tick on her leg as she sat by her pool, but simply plucked it off and moved on.
>"I'm not even sure if I told my parents that it happened," the now 24-year-old said in a phone interview with CTV News Toronto. "I didn't think it was a big deal. I had no idea what Lyme disease even was at the time."
About a week later, she started to feel ill. The normally energetic cheerleader and soccer player began to feel weak but chalked it up to having the flu.
"I was falling apart," Kent said. She said doctors continued prescribing her different anti biotics but nothing seemed to help. >"I had no idea what was going on. I thought maybe it was in my head. I was getting pretty upset that I was feeling this way and not knowing why."
Kent moved back to Ontario in 2016 and saw numerous doctors, NONE of them, she said, mentioned the possibility that she contracted Lyme disease.
>"That's when the brain fog started kicking in," Kent said. "I was struggling putting sentences together. I couldn't read a book. Even my family noticed I was mumbling more and wasn't easy to talk to. I was losing my memory."
Doctors in Ontario kept telling Kent she either had the flu, anxiety, depression or had possibly even damaged her brain through years of playing soccer and participating in cheerleading.
>"I had so many different emotions going through my head. I've never felt that way before. It was a sense of relief but also hard to hear. I felt like I've been failed by my health-care system," Kent said.
>Kent found a facility that specializes in Lyme disease in Florida and moved there last month. She may be required to spend up to a year in the facility and the treatment will cost more than $100,000.
>"It's going to put my family into debt," Kent said. "It saddens me that I have to go so far to get help but I don't want to let this illness own me."
>"I want to get married and have kids and be able to somewhat live normally."
all USA presidential candidates have a brain of 70 year old, let that sink in

Based tick, slayer of roasties.

Lyme disease is not real. Please provide evidence that it is exists, I will wait.
Isaac Harris
Canadian health care is absolute dog shit

>"I want to get married and have kids and be able to somewhat live normally."
Based and redpilled. Let Jesus bless her with a full recovery.
Lyme is no joke, i grew up in Northern NY and it was a huge problem given the deer population. My neighbor was a man of 85. Mowed his lawn on his own, put a roof on his house on his own at 82. Healthy as an ox. Got bit by a tick and was dead within 6 months because his immune system was absolutely destroyed. His last few months he spent curled up on the couch in agonizing aching pain from head to toe.

I've had Lyme Disease for 20 years. Antibiotics don't work. It's like living life while being given a bear tranquilizer every morning. But you don't hear my complaining. It's a bioweapon from the 50s, they blame the Nazis so you know (((who))) made it.
Based tick on thot patrol. I wish suffering on women so they can see how bad life really easy when they stop playing on easy mode.
Chase Wood
So shes ready to settle down now?

There is some weird politics in Canada with regards to Lyme disease. The government in B.C. here doesn’t acknowledge it for some reason. They won’t give help and apparently the doctors won’t do shit if you get it. A lady told me her son had it and he had to go to the states to get it fully diagnosed and treated. Some weird shit here for sure.

Why are Romanians so based? Does suffering build character?

Lyme disease is real, but it's not "natural". It was engineered on Plum Island, off the coast of Connecticut, in the 60s.
There are natural ways to treat it but mainstream doctors don't know them and mainstream science will not study the disease in any meaningful way. They don't want people finding out the truth about this man-made disease.
Yea Doctors don't even want to test you for it, even if you suggest it. And the insect repellent that is most effective against ticks is banned. Very strange stuff
Brandon Rivera
The (((medical mafia))) is behind it because the cure to lyme is bee stings and sauna visits, both of which are dirt cheap, which would bankrupt the pharma and hospital mafia because people would stop buying pills for other illnesses as well like arthritis (which bee stings cure)

Romanians aren't based. They're mostly fucking Gypsies and Gypsies are just jews.

Angel Fisher
My wife has this disease, and it is terrible. It hides in the nervous system so the testing is shit, and insurance companies don't want to touch it because buying doctors and the CDC is cheaper instead.
Look up Lab 257 or Bitten. The sort of bioweapons programming you see here is the precursor for what has been created in Covid.

Did she ride the cock carousel? If not, I'll marry her and give her babies.

Fucking ticks hey? That's why i eat a lot of garlic bread when i go camping, keeps the little cunts off.

Don't you mean "thit" Mike?

Lyme is worse than anything, it's like being hung over 24 hours a day. It's worse than depression but together they are brutal.
Lyme disease is not teached to doctors on the university. Medical community tries to downplay the effects of the whole disease and most doctors deny it fucks up the brain but insist it simply causes minor rash on skin.
Forget about getting proper antibiotics against it.
Jaxon Bailey
I don't give a fuck about women, their whole life is the tutorial level, they are overgrown children. How many dicks has she sucked and fucked and now she wants to settle down? It it wasn't for Lyme's she would have settled over 30. Fuck you cuck if you enable this behavior.

Nice try, kike. Stop using proxy and show your israhell flag

I've lived with chronic Lymes my entire life. It migrated into my CSF and verified via lumbar puncture. I would not wish the agony of this disease upon anyone...even some of the faggots here. It is literally brain chlamydia and ricketts until you die.
David Thompson
>Does suffering build character? Yes
Zachary Lopez
I usually do, but canadians are such scared pussies they can't actually handle the reality canada is a collapsing shit hole, so they all avoid talking about it.
Aiden Rogers
Retarded article, chronic lyme disease does not exist
Xavier Wright
>I want to get married with a black guy and have mutt-kids and be able to somewhat live normally, hating white people on twitter press F for the heroic tick
All women are whores. I hate whores. Where's your pure trad wife? Oh, you don't have one, my point was made. Enjoy your used up roasties you simp cucks. Also: imi bag pula in mamele voastre de canadieni jegosi si infecti ce sunteti, traduceti asta futu-va-n gura.
Wyatt Thomas
How is it possible for it to go undiagnosed? If she ever mentioned the tick bite to the doctors they would surely have ran tests on a number of possibilities?
Juan Sullivan
What is the best way to treat it? Do you have a book you recommend? >t. had it for five years now
Oliver Bell
found the incecls
Landon Davis
Notice how he doesn't deny being a jew though.
90% of the "white women are the biggest problem in the whole wide world" threads are D&C by jews.

Jeremiah Bailey
so shes emotionally matured now?
Elijah Perez
no one really assumes a tick bite is something significant to report until they themselves discover Lyme disease
Gabriel Murphy
NOOOOOOOOOOO, NOT THE HECKING ROASTERINOS YOU CAN'T JUST BTFO THEM LIKE THIS
she didn't think about it. she didn't know what lyme was. if you aren't looking for the bullseye then it's any other tick bite. Ticks are all over the fucking place in the states year round. I've seen more than one person get lyme and notice it when its visible.
Mason Price
Not getting enough attention trannie? Are you in need of some simps to pay for your HRT?
Carter Kelly
Weird how that's what you immeaditly think when you see a white woman.
Julian Adams
it's always the lonely incels from shithole countries that attach pathologically to edgy shit to distance themselves from their context and situate themselves within online communities t. speaking from firsthand experience
Anthony Taylor
Why do doctors refuse to acknolwedge lyme disease?
I spend 60 hours a week in the woods, if I got lyme disease id fucking know it was lyme disease, and if a doctor tried to brush it off as something else ID SHOOT THE MOTHERFUCKER TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM A RETARDED DOCTOR

——- Groceryjew Detected ——-
Threadly reminder that these posts have been disproven many times before. This faggot, aka groceryjew, started posting these on Yas Forums as "Canada Is Collapsing" threads and has moved on to pretending to make "election" or "politics" threads, and posting this bullshit on /ck/ to avoid this copypasta, but it's the same proxyfagging nutjob.
The lying kike has rudimentary knowledge of proxyfagging and bumps his own threads with a variety of proxies from Canada, the US, and the UK especially. If you pay attention to the diction/posting style/CAPS you can easily see they are the same person, varying between 2-3 posting styles, and doing upwards of 50 posts each thread to keep it bumped. He often deflects his true origin by (((accidentally)) outing himself as a Pole, but he’s really an Americanized Jew.
He’s likely under the employ of the Kinsella consulting group, hired by the conservatives to discredit the PPC and divert attention from the Jewish influence in Canada.
In order to maintain the illusion that Canada has high food prices, he posts prices from remote communities like Nunavut where food has to be flown in/expensive certified organic brands no one buys/food in kgs to obfuscate the price since most Americans are too dumb to understand metric.
If anyone is actually curious if there is an issue with food prices in Canada, go to literally any forum online with Canadians and ask them if they struggle with their food bill. It’s that simple. We pay a bit more than the US does, like we do for everything, but it is on par with other commonwealth nations like Australia.
This is pasta and and the poster will not be sticking around for replies. I invite fellow leafs to copypasta this to all this nutjobs threads, and don't forget to sage; the proxyfagging becomes really obvious when he has to scramble to bump his threads. Redditspacing is intentional and done for maximum exposure and clarity
>have weird ass obscure disease >go to doctor >hmm im not sure whats wrong with you, here take this SSRI and see if it helps >didnt help? keep trying for a month >oh well try THIS one instead >no? keep trying longer >ok now try this one instead >no? >ok wait a bit and then well try this one >no? >well i guess you are just a hypochondriac

>the insect repellent that is most effective against ticks is banned because a book was written in the 1960s called the silence of spring or something and put all the balme on DDT the worst part about it is the substitute for DDT is permetrin and permethrin KILLS BEES

That was a logical post. From an aussie, no less. Upvoted.

There is no reliable test for Lyme, there is no treatment for Lyme and Lyme doesn't cause your brain to age.
Pseudo-scientific garbage.
Oliver Rivera
It can be dormant or the test can give false positives. That's your free health care. When something is so hard to detect and then treat, and the patient says they only feel a little groggy, move on to the next person on the never ending list.
