EP 9 | Lyme Disease

John was an avid camper throughout his 20s and early 30s. Living in the Pacific North West forest he enjoyed many outdoor activities. He recalls being bitten by ticks over the years and even saw his GP for antibiotic treatment of lyme disease in the past. 12 years later, John feels he has not fully recovered.

After feeling dismissed by Health Care Professionals he sought alternative treatment and was eventually diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease. In order to cure his illness he attempts multiple rounds of antibiotics but his symptoms of joint pain, memory loss, and nerve pain in his hands are only getting worse.

He begins to wonder, maybe the diagnosis of chronic lyme disease was wrong.
