I Have Lyme Disease

Been sick for a year and no doctor in the city where I live could diagnose me. After seeing 7 dr's and specialists I had to drive 5 hours to finally find a Dr who knew what I had and didn't call me crazy.

Sadly, what you’ve been through is so typical with chronic Lyme. There are very few LLMDs to begin with and mist conventional docs know less than nothing about Lyme and even less about coinfections. My daughter is 29 and was bitten at 7. She never got definiiuveky diagnosed until she was 18. She’s been treated and relapsed so many times. We finally went to an LLMD who also does non traditional treatments. She has lost a lot if vision, has permanent sleep issues, has neurological and orthopedic problems that inhibit her ability to work as an illustrator. BUT she has hope and that is her mainstay
