I have a friend who suffers from the long term effects of Lyme Disease due to misdiagnosis early on, and now all she cam do is live with it. And when I say live with it I mean weekly procedures - blood transfusion, getting sick from other ailments extremely easy because of Lyme, things breaking and spraining extremely easy, treatment for many individual symptoms like extreme exhaustion, dizziness, many forms of pain all over. It is BRUTAL. She can't hold a job, can't have a relationship, it is awful. I don't understand why it's something we are all educated on so little.
