Unexpected Life-saving surgery

Not too long after I celebrated my 50th birthday, I found myself facing a very unexpected, life-saving surgery to repair a ruptured colon, remove a large abscess, and a huge raging infection. What I thought was an episode of constipation turned into an event that almost took my life.

Lyme Disease Antibiotics and Gut Health - personal image©

When I was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2009 I was terrified. I didn’t know anything about Lyme disease or how it should be treated. Information was limited and I wasn’t aware of any treatment options other than antibiotics. So, based on what I had read and the enormous fear I had, I accepted

Chronic Illness Journey

Here we are approaching the end of our first year of treatment for Lyme Disease and Coinfections with our newest doctor.

Antibiotics for Lyme and alternatives

When I was diagnosed 6 years ago I knew nothing about Lyme Disease except that it was something you might get from a tick.  Before Lyme I had never bothered to learn about it because quite honestly it didn’t affect me.

God in the Lyme Maze

Living in the Lyme Maze can be frightening, confusing and overwhelming.  My family and I have spent since 2009 trying to find a cure for Lyme.
