Hi,
I got Lyme while working at summer camp and so far my treatment seems to be covered by workers comp (sadly, not that of my two kids who also got Lyme and Babesia while at camp). The lawyer is asking me what I can expect to see in terms of long-term disability from my having Lyme. So far I have been on antibiotics for 5 months and am finally doing really well (though I was completely out of commission for the first few months). I would love to hear from others a scary laundry list of what could go wrong or how having had Lyme (and possibly some co-infections...we do not know) will negatively impact my life. I am assuming that will include things like potential organ damage or chance of relapse or needing to always watch my immune system, but I imagine there is a ton on the list that I would never imagine. It could be something that COULD happen in a year or two or even way down the road. Do not worry about scaring me...I (and they) need to know...
Please email me directly at [email protected].
Thanks,
Beth
