So, these are spirochetes. Nasty little corkscrew bacteria transmitted from an infected tick to humans. I have had them most of my life, and my story is long and sorted. I'll get to that. I am still in treatment, though under pretty good control right now. I live in the world of the unknown, the controversial, and the misunderstood. Sometimes my world is spinning and sometimes I am paralyzed, literally. I live moment by moment. I take joy from all I can, as often as I can. I hope to enlighten those who are unfamiliar with the complexities of the bacteria and co-infections involved. I also hope to give comfort and support to others like me who live in that same world of Lyme Disease.
