When You Go To the Doctor and You Didn’t Expect It to Be Lyme.

A lot of people’s journey to their Lyme diagnoses starts because they thought they had the flu. The symptoms for Lyme can be wildly contrasting, and two separate cases can look completely different.

Symptoms of Lyme can range from flu-like to migraines, or even be as severe as MS-like symptoms. It is important that we educate ourselves on Lyme, its prevention and how we can help the medical community obtain better research. The really sad fact is that the medical community even debates that Chronic Lyme even exists and they don’t know how to treat it. Some patients have to wait months to years for a proper diagnosis and getting closer to relief.
