Hello, my name is Kristie and I battle Lyme Disease. I was bitten July 1, 2010 and was diagnosed with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. I took the usual dose of doxycycline and after my rash was gone I never thought about it again. Slowly I started developing a laundry list of symptoms. I was so severe I couldnt get out of bed or keep anything down and I lost lots of needed weight. Doc after doc said nothing was wrong. I even went to the Mayo Clinic in Fl for a week. Finally after an ER visit July 2013 I tested positive for Lyme. Now i am on IV treatment till i see a specialist in DC. So This journey of mine has just started and I would like to share it with all of you.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and my story. I want to show people what this disease really is and what we have to do daily to battle it. I am going to go into extreme detail about and the good and bad days. My symptoms can be gross but I think it important for others to see what really happens behind the scenes. I am not a medical doctor and would advise you to speak with you physician because trying any treatment, detox, or protocol. I just want to share MY story, but every Lyme story is different.... My message is more about awareness andmthe impact it has on our lives. Please be advised that some post may be graphic.
