Tick-born Lyme disease has altered my life tremendously.
I got this nasty infection 2 years ago and since then my life has turned around. Unfortunately no medication worked whatsoever so the side effects hit me hard. The greates challenge was to overcome the tremblings.
Now I am 90% well, but the past two years were really difficult.
