As a transplant from West Los Angeles into the New England woods of Connecticut, I couldn't wait to frolic like a nymph in the fall foliage of my 210 year old farm by a stream. 
My dear friend would grab me by the collar and warn me of ticks and Lyme disease.
Like a kitten being carried off in her mothers' mouth, he would guide me away from tall grass and woodland shade as I teased him for being a puss. . 
My personal nightmare with Lyme disease began with strange flu like symptoms and headaches.
I had always been a really healthy fit active woman who never ate white,
ate lots of fruits and veggies and wasn't on any medication what so ever.
So when I had to take some Motrin for a headache I was having it was a big deal.
But then I started eating Motrin like they were candy...
4 tablets every 3 hours for the excruciating, debilitating headache pain and 106 degree fever.
I would actually break down and cry like a baby I was in so much pain. I learned later that this was due to the central nervous system being attacked.
This went on for about 3 weeks until I couldn't bear it any longer and dragged myself into the emergency room at 2:00 in the morning where I waited with 5 big strong men, each of whom were in tears just like me.
We all sat crying like babies waiting for our turn.. 
.
A Lyme carrying tick no bigger than a dot had bitten each of us. 
We all had Lyme Disease.
If I hadn't had a bulseye,
they would have given me a spinal tap 
...thinking I had spinal meningitis.
After the first tablet of Doxycyclene, I began to feel the vise loosen and recover.
However, after 5 weeks of taking the Doxy, I had a whole new set of problems waiting for me....
My homeopath was one of the doctors who said there was no such thing as " chronic Lyme disease".
He believed that the symptoms I was feeling were due to the antibiotics wiping out my flora and leaving me with a system that was out of balance.
He told me that I had to now embark on building my ‘garden' back to normal,
and to follow THE PHASE ONE DIET from Doug Kaufman at Knowthecause.com.,
( Nothing you have to buy except clean organic food he lists for free on his website.)
I credit DOUG KAUFMAN for saving my life.
I went on total body, liver, candida cleanses as well as started taking probiotics.
I began exercising again, eliminated caffine, and before long I started feeling like my old self again.
I went from feeling like I was 200 years old woman and about to die, to feeling like I was a kid again, sleeping really well....I felt like my old self again!
If I hadn't gone through it first hand, I'd probably find all of this hard to believe.
But I wanted to share my story with anyone who is going though this hoping it might be of some help. That there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
It's a very scary real disease that doctors on the West coast say doesn't even exist...
that it's psychological, hysteria...
There is so much still unknown and not talked about and I would love to hear from anyone who can share their story so we can all help each other.
