N.C. - "Both girls had taken leaves of absences from their final years of college because of the fatigue, migraines, aching joints and sometimes fevers they developed, and both girls had undergone the maximum amount of antibiotic therapy, a 21-day regimen, to combat Lyme disease."
"It was only with extended antibiotic treatment, which isn’t covered by health insurance, that Gamelli and Landes said they found some reprieve. Gamelli also learned after her first treatment that the tick bite had transmitted not only Lyme, but a host of other infections — including Babesiosis, Bartonella, Erhlichiosis and Mycoplasma — that required additional care."
