My Chronic Lyme Recovery Story

05/22/23 • 14 min

May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month, and so this week Adrienne is sharing her own story of recovery from chronic Lyme. After years of symptoms like fatigue and brain fog, she was finally diagnosed, but the recommended course of antibiotics didn't help. Spearheaded by her mother, she set off on a years-long journey of experimenting with alternative and integrative medicine approaches until, finally, she was able to eliminate her symptoms and her body fully beat the disease.
