After walking her dog through a trail in Connecticut, she found a tick on her neck 5 days later! (Yikes!) then after 30 days later she started getting very sick with all sorts of different, and very strange symptoms! As the illness got better and got worse, she saw her doctor and got tested several times for lyme and it kept coming back negative! Overtime she kept getting worse, after getting tests and more tests done for a year straight she started losing hope. But then she took matters into her own hands and sought out a Lyme literate doctor that she paid for out of pocket. The doctor said “You are classic Lyme disease, Gina” and she felt a surge of relief. However, that was just the start of a journey with Lyme!
