it’s been a long while…4 years in fact… Tardive Dyskinesia, Chronic Lyme Disease, and Infection – Mad In America https://www.madinamerica.com/2022/12/tardive-dyskinesia-lyme-disease-and-infection/
Chronic illness, lyme disease, microbiome issues
Chronic “Lyme” is always associated with co-infections. A lot of people have very serious systemic infections that go undiagnosed due to not testing positive for the “lyme” bacteria. Many go untreated because medicine doesn’t want to deal with the diseases it’s created.
These diseases are ultimately created by drug resistance brought about by over drugging with pharma that destroy the microbiome in numerous ways. Many people do not succumb to the same micro-organisms if their pharma histories are minimal….
A return from the dead and more on Tardive Dyskinesia (also Lyme)
Why did I mostly stop writing? Because I was dealing with something I no longer knew how to talk about. Mostly because people really don’t like reading about disability. All the able-bodied ableists who want to pretend that somehow disability must be the fault of the person suffering from it. Yeah. Lots of my readers too. The comments became unbearable and remain that way. I mostly keep them turned off.
I’ve written a few new pieces on my own idiosyncratic experience of TD. I thought I’d share with you Robert Whitaker’s long and well-researched piece. (continue reading, click through)
Life with Tardive Dyskinesia (Lyme too)
I’ve posted a couple of times about having TD. It is an awful debilitating, crippling and disfiguring disease caused by iatrogenic injury. I just discovered the National Organization for Tardive Dyskinesia so I thought I would share. There is very little accurate or clear information about this disease. I have avoided doctors mostly as I’ve not encountered anyone that seems like they would do anything other than harm. Neurologists who treat TD are prone to use psych meds and the MDs I saw mostly shamed and dismissed me as crazy. I did have a psychiatrist who was also a friend diagnose me and it’s very clear that I have TD. I go from being physically okay to being able to hardly stand up in the same day. I suffer from acute and chronic pain in my face, head, neck and shoulders. I am often totally unable to function as a result of this drug injury. I’ve written very little about it because this site was about recovering after coming off psych meds and well, I’ve got my mental health but I am not well. It’s likely I will never be well. My only goal now is to learn how to cope better. As readers of this site know I’ve exhausted all manner of behavioral and lifestyle healing methods. This is not an easy ride. (click through for more)
Getting healthy means coming to balance (Lyme too)
update: I did test positive for lyme and several co-infections in 2020 I had multiple infections that responded to Lyme disease treatment. I never tested positive for Lyme and gave up on doctors after that. Healing (for me) didn’t mean killing off all micro-organisms. It meant bringing balance by moving out excess of the ones… Continue Reading →

Tardive dyskinesia is an infection
It turns out dyskinesia is a recognized symptom of Bartonella, a Lyme disease co-infection.
I was right. Tardive Dyskinesia, too, is an infection. I’m pretty sure it always is and not just in my case and I’m collecting studies to go about establishing enough evidence that the medical establishment will stop telling victims of psychiatric drugging that there is no hope. …
