What was your treatment plan, and how is your health now? YF: “Once I was diagnosed I had a port surgically implanted in my jugular vein and started an unbearable 90 days of IV antibiotics. The Herxheimer reactions on this treatment were so sever that at a certain point I honestly did not think I was going to make it through alive. After that I did another six weeks of holistic medicine at a treatment center in Florida and had good results, but it still only got me to about 70% of my normal self. At this point there is not much I have not tried yet. I am getting ready to go for a Lyme treatment in Switzerland. I hate the thought of having to leave my family again but I am so determined and will not accept living this mediocre way of life so I won’t stop until I get back to my old self and hopefully find a cure for Lyme disease that I can share with people that are not able to run around the world to find treatment. Unfortunately health insurance in this country only pays for 28 days of antibiotics and believes you should be cured after that. It infuriates me to think that people are dying everyday because of it!”
