Brief Summary Of Symptoms Of Lyme's Disease

718 Words3 Pages

Throughout my life, I have experienced many strange difficulties, that led me to the hospital where the doctors did not know what was wrong with me or did not have long-term treatments that would fix the problem I was experiencing. One of the most life-changing experiences I had going to the doctor is when I was diagnosed with ehrlichiosis, ehrlichiosis is transmitted to a person through the bite by a tick. You can say that it is very similar to having Lyme's disease, but far rarer. Because of it being far rarer it is not a test that the doctors just run when you go in with an array of symptoms. I experienced a wide array of symptoms in which the doctors diagnosed me with multiple things, such as migraines, back spasms, and even a tremor. This diagnosis meant that I had a hope of getting better in the near future, but that hope was soon demolished by my body attacking itself in a new region.

    As a child, I often spent my time constantly in and out of my pediatrician’s office and at hospitals getting my blood drawn, checking for jaundice, and making sure that my Hepatitis B remain dormant in my liver. But all of the appointments spent with these people made me view them second to my parents: if my parents couldn’t fix my Hep B, then they would call their “handy-dandy friends” to fix me up.
