“My name is Juls and I have experienced lyme disease symptoms since I was 13. About 3 years ago, things took a turn for the worse. One day, I suddenly lost the ability to walk, which then led to seizures, uncontrollable tremors, exhaustion, short term memory loss, brain fog, and too many other symptoms to name. It took several years and many doctors too finally get a lyme disease diagnosis. After 18 months of treatment, I am back to working full time, I can exercise (sometimes), and I pretty much live a normal life now. Yes, I have my bad days, but the good days certainly outweigh the bad. It's a shame that lyme disease is not often recognized and is pushed aside by the medical community. As a mental health professional who has been plagued with lyme disease, I am now dedicating my life to helping others suffering from this disease. Lyme is real. Never give up. You will get there.” @onceupnalyme
