Lyme disease: 'I became a shadow, housebound, a virtual recluse'

I feel a bit raw actually sharing this. But...its important people tell their stories so we can raise awareness and help others. Its also important we continue to challenge medical shortcomings! I was sick for over 9 years before we had proper answers. Something early diagnosis and treatment would have prevented. www.ticktalkireland.org has great information on how to prevent tick bites, how to remove ticks and what to look for in Lyme Disease.
