A few years ago I got really sick and was diagnosed with late stage Lyme disease. The road to recovery was long but eventually, after 2.5 years, I was able to fully reclaim my health and become much fitter and healthier than before I got sick.
When my struggle with Lyme was at it's most intense I would go days without sleeping. During these times I would trawl through internet forums looking for help and inspiration from people who had overcome the disease. Sadly optimistic messages about late stage Lyme disease were very hard to find.
The reason I started this blog was to offer hope and tips for people who may find themselves in the same situation. Sometimes with Lyme you can feel that both your physical and mental health are being eroded away. But in the vast majority of cases a full recovery is possible.
In this blog I'll write about my experience with Lyme and what recovery strategies worked best for me.
If you're currently battling Lyme then I wish you all the best for a full an speedy recovery!
