This page chronicles my journey through Late Stage Chronic Lyme Disease. I was diagnosed many, many years after the initial onset, leaving me with a very long list of symptoms that I hope will eventually dissipate or even hopefully disappear as my treatment progresses.

Sharon's Bio

For more than a decade, I suffered from numerous mysterious or rare maladies. I saw internists, gastroenterologists, endocrinologists, chiropractors, orthopedists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, pyschiatrists, phychologists, dermatologists, urologists, osteopaths, and then three rheumatologists. Some of them offered relief for my symptoms, but no one offered a cause.
In early 2009, I became almost bedridden with back and knee pain. Through the grace of God, four months later, I found the RIGHT doctor who diagnosed me with late stage chronic Lyme disease. I began treatment on October 16, 2009, one day after my dad's 80th birthday.
This is my perspective of my Lyme journey.

Lyme quote

Have regular hours for work and play; make each day doth useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success.
