Here is a Lyme success story as reported to me via e-mail by a friend. The victim lives in Western NJ.
Had a nice conversation tonight with the owner of an Italian Restaurant.
I have known her for about 25 years. About 10 years ago, she suffered very much from Lyme disease. I told her about you and the problems you are faced with daily.
She said she had 6 terrible years, taking up to 17 pills daily, mostly antibiotics, for several of those years. For the past 3 or 4 years, I know she has been feeling wonderful and does just about anything she wants to do, including taking care of her new grand daughter.
She told me to tell you to keep working hard at getting better because you will get better. She said that when she was first aware of what her problem was, she was in "stage 3". I told her you were fighting.
I also mentioned work and she said "work is impossible". I know her husband and family (two boys) helped her a lot.
