I have a brain disease driven by an infection that gets better with long term antibiotics.

One of my main symptoms was MCI. Interesting that after long term treatment not only the MCI improved or subsided but also my very long standing ADHD (present for as long as I can remember) got dramatically better, makes you wonder.

That actually makes a lot of sense to me. ADHD can be phrased as a regulation disorder. Emotions, executive function/ attention. If anything internal (literally any kind of pain) presents itself for my attention, it wins. No contest.

I have nasty seasonal allergies (at least one per season). Whenever it flares up, the is a marked increase in my needs and decrease in my productivity. I'm hoping to start immunotherapy for them soon. I get my ADHD and my allergies from my dad and immunotherapy has done him wonders.

Meditative techniques can assist with the regulation of emotions/attention. I speak from experience. It takes practice when you’re feeling well to be able to channel it when you’re not feeling well. It’s not as hippy-dippy as you might think (unless you want it to be). No yoga mat required.

How did you find out about the long standing infection?

Would you mind to share what pathogen you're dealing with? In case it's tick borne, I can second your observations

How did you discover the infection

“MCI”? (Not familiar)
