Are You Sick But Have No Idea What Is Wrong With You?!

Seem like a long list of symptoms?
All of the symptoms you see are for Lyme Disease. I battled and beat Lyme Disease. It was one of the worst things I have ever gone through.
May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month. If you have been feeling sick or know of someone who has, but they haven't been able to figure out what is wrong with them, PLEASE look into Lyme Disease. It took me over 3 years to finally get diagnosed.
Lyme Disease is misdiagnosed as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson, ADD/ADHD, Autism, Juvenile Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Reactive Arthritis, Infectious Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia, Raynaud's Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Interstitial Cystis, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, Fifth Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, scleroderma, lupus, early ALS, early Alzheimer’s, crohn's disease, ménières syndrome, sjogren's syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, prostatitis, psychiatric disorders, bipolar, depression, encephalitis, sleep disorders, thyroid disease - just to mention a few of 350 diseases that could possibly be Lyme.
The Alzheimer's is what really got to me and my family. Over 5 of my relatives have died from Alzheimer's in the last 10 years. They did a study on 10 Alzheimer's patients brains from the Harvard Brain Bank after these patients had passed away...they discovered Lyme Disease in 7 of them. If any of my family had Lyme Disease (misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's), all they would have needed was antibiotics and they could have gotten better. We will never know because we didn't even think to have them tested.
If Lyme Disease is not caught quick enough, it can kill you or leave you severely mentally and physically handicapped.
I wrote a very detailed post here about my journey through Lyme Disease and also a lot more details about what to look for and why you should get help. Pass on this info! You could save someone's life (:
