I am so glad that Shania Twain is doing well, but still willing to help make people aware of what Lyme disease can do -no matter who it afflicts.
This sounds like the tick bit her in the throat, but, hey, it is People, ' very widely read, and should warn people about ticks and Lyme disease!
"For more than seven years, she was unable to project vocally and worried she'd never sing again.
Eventually doctors diagnosed Twain with Lyme disease from a 2004 tick bite, which they believe damaged the nerves in her vocal cords.
She relearned how to sing, with lengthy warm-ups and physical therapy, and in 2018 Twain underwent open-throat surgery to strengthen the weakened nerves."
