<p>My personal story of how Lyme Disease tried to destroy my life. It put me in a wheelchair , it cost me my job,my home, my ability to walk, and on certain days my ability to talk. I had to fight for almost six years to try and get treatment here in Illinois. I was told over and over ' We did not have Lyme here.' Doctors told me there is no such thing as chronic or late stage Lyme, yet I remained sick. This is my story of how I fought to save my own life.</p>
