So good to see this 23-yr-old college journalism student writing such a good article about his struggle with Lyme disease from the age of 13!
Not and easy read, but I am so grateful that he is doing well and that he ends his account in a positive way.

Just shameful that the common denominator for many many Lyme sufferers are outdated and unreliable Lyme testing.
How many more lives destroyed? How much longer will be suffering be denied? Heartbreaking. ❤️🩹

Boy,do I understand,except were we live many doctors say 'We don't have Lyme Disease here'.But amongst the Palm trees, and other trees. There is definetly a good bit of Pine,that ticks seem to love.
Glad this fella is doing better now! I wish more of us could start getting way better!
