CHRONICALLY HEALED: Kiki’s Chronic Illness Story

/ Chronically Healed

How I Overcame POTS and Lyme Disease: IV Therapy, Marijuana, and the Grace of God!

CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO (youtube restricted it because I talk about how medical marijuana saved my life)

After being sick for 10 years, I am now alive healthy and thriving!
My healing journey was non-linear. Watch my full story to get the most out of what I learned from living with and overcoming a chronic illness.

I was diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS aka Dysautonomia), Lyme disease, and Babesia.

My symptoms were feeling faint (chronic pre-syncope), low blood pressure (hypotension), low blood volume (hypovolemia), nausea and stomach pain, chronic fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, social anxiety, cold hands and feet (cold extremities), sensitivities, brain fog, TMJ, neck pain, and more.

The treatments that helped me were:
– Biofeedback therapy (InnerBalance by HeartMath)
– Jugular Venoplasty (Transvascular Autonomic Modulation surgery)
– NUCCA Chiropractic
– TMJ Orthodontic Treatment
– Paleo Diet
– Supplements
– Vitamin IV Therapy
– Medical Marijuana THC

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, none of these treatments would have helped if my heart was not open to receive healing. Spiritual and emotional health are interconnected to physical health. IT WAS ESSENTIAL for me to be healed spiritually before I could be healed physically.

As I grew closer in my relationship with Jesus, I grew closer to his healing. He healed my soul and strengthened me to be the overcomer God created me to be!

If you know anyone with a chronic illness and needs hope, send them this video! It is my new mission in life to raise awareness, advocacy, and hope for chronic illnesses!

  2. Hello Kiki, This is Terry Bell in Nashville . I’m a singer songwriter who got Covid and pneumonia in Dec 2020. I have been dealing with Post Covid long hauler symptoms that are very similar to what you went through with having Lyme Disease. I lost over 60 Ibs , have shortness of breath, chronic fatigue and weakness, stomach problems ect. It is only by the grace of God that I’m still here and continuing to believe that the Lord’s promise to bring healing and restoration, not sure when that will be but I know I will be okay as long as I keep my faith in his promises.

    I wanted to reach out to you because there are millions of people that are suffering with Post Covid long hauler symptoms that could be helped by your story and healing journey

    Many people feel alone, and isolated because their family and friends don’t understand what it’s like to have a chronic illness and the doctors don’t know how to treat long Covid because it is so new and there is no medical cure at the moment

    I would encourage you to do some research on Long Covid and see that what you have been through in your chronic illness journey to Healed could inspire and give hope to people out there that have lost hope that things will get better they just need to hold on to hope and have faith that God is with them in and will help them get through to the other side to healing, restoration and new life.

      • Hello Kiki, I’m checking back in with you. I left you a reply back in July last year. I told you I got COVID and pneumonia in Dec 2020 almost 3 years ago this coming Dec .

        I was doing fantastic with my recovery this past summer. I was gaining weight, do PT and wax on the treadmill, riding cycle, lifting weights and was walking a lot more . I was still out of breath but I had more energy than strength. The past few months, I have lots all of the weight I gained and I have been extremely fatigued and having the same symptoms I had when I just got home from the nursing home rehabilitation center in Feb 2021.
        I don’t know what happened, I seem going through a valley of having a major flare up .of my old symptoms.

        I want to ask you if in your healing journey if you have had high peaks and valleys in your recovery from the Chronic illnesses you had before God totally healed you . I know that the Lord is with me and wants me to be healed and healthy but it seems like there have been delays and sets backs and it is very hard to deal with and try to keep my faith up and try to stay positive. I like you believe the Lord’s promises of healing cause God can’t lie so I m holding on to that promise and hopeful., which is very hard to do as you know. Any thoughts you can share with me would be very helpful.

        Thank you
        Terry Bell

  3. This is so “funny” – I am starting a website about chronical diseases and how we can heal with Gods love – but also different from examples I have seen that apparently tried but only left me feeling more alone.
    I thought about a title and came up with exactly the same as you (First in my language, then I wanted to add English, that’s how I found yours). I really thought it was so interesting that we both found this title, and both as followers of Jesus. Who knows, maybe one day we’ll collab 🙂
    Love,
    Susanne
