i got it this summer...at 22 years old. 2 weeks after being bitten by a deer tick and contracting a lethal strain of lyme.
I had myocarditis in june which led to stage 1 and stage 2 heart block, and heart failure. I survived the lowest heart rate of a human being in medical history....and ended up back in the ER in july with a paralyzed right foot...lyme had severed a peripheral nerve.
my foot has been rehabilitated and i've regained mobility.
I was on doxycline hyclate for a 2 months at 400mg's/day (herb helped w/nausea tremeeendously)...and then recieved a picc-line for an additional month, in which I took another antibiotic-rocephin.
Now i'm seeing a naturopathic doctor who gives me megadoses of vitamin C IV therapy, twice a week (35 GRAMS of vit C each time...takes over an hour).
I've met many people who've been crippled by lyme disease...the lyme has literally degenerated nervous tissue in their bodies and led to multiple sclerosis, parkinsons disease, etc.
anybody else with a lyme story?
If you don' know much about lyme disease, here's a trailer you can check out all about lyme, titled "under our skin":
