A Journey with Lyme Disease

The speaker shares her personal experience with Lyme disease, which started with chronic symptoms like nausea and a chronic cough. She went through numerous doctors before finally being diagnosed with Lyme disease. At first, she was skeptical of the diagnosis because she didn't recall a tick bite or seeing the characteristic bull's eye rash. However, she decided to try antibiotic treatment, which initially improved her condition. But later, after experiencing a concussion, she realized she had chronic Lyme disease, which has profoundly impacted her life. Despite the challenges, she remains positive and has found support within the chronic Lyme disease community.
