Lyme & Life

Ashley racks her brain for what's causing her debilitating symptoms then she remembers the time she pulled an engorged tick off her body. On this episode, we'll discuss her first appointment with Lyme literate doctor, Dr. Daniel Cameron. 

This week we're diving head first into the confusing, winding, and scary path Ashley followed while fighting to find out what all of her horrible symptoms meant. 

This is a seriously stressful time for almost everyone especially those with compromised immune systems. One group of people you may not realize are at a high risk for contracting COVID-19 are Lyme disease patients. Our resident lyme warrior, Ashley talks about the precautions she's taking, how it's impacted her treatment, and what she's most scared about during this pandemic time. 

Borrelia burgdorferi… what does that mean anyway? Well this podcast isn't going to dive into the scientific definition, but the short answer is Lyme disease. Night sweats, Brian fog, muscle fatigue, and facial twitching - those are the types of topics we will talk about from a patient's perspective, specially patient Ashley D. After multiple diagnosis over the course of almost 2 years, Ashley is finally being treated, this is her journey.
