Jamie’s Story
Jamie, Author, Mother & Forever Lyme Warrior
“I had given up, succumbing to my ALS diagnosis. My children were sick and had both received autism and neurological damage diagnoses. Things were dark, and daily activities were like running a marathon. My heart had a mind of its own.
It wasn't until my husband got sick with Rocky Mountain spotted fever that our search for a real diagnosis led us to Lyme. I had a laundry list full of conditions, but they were all caused by one tick, and I gave my children Lyme in utero!
Fast forward through a decade and a half of illness and recovery, including PICC lines, organs removed, and more surgeries and tests than we can count, and that's where you will find us. Are we perfect? No. Cured? No. What we are is healing and not defined by Lyme.
Our journey was a rollercoaster of emotion and the fight of our lives. While heartbreaking, I wouldn't trade it. It forced me to look at health differently, and I went back to school. I used what I learned to deepen my family's healing. Now, I lead a team of health coaches for a cellular healing company and have programs in my personal business to help those suffering from Lyme.
My family's story is one of hope. We learned that you can survive and even thrive while living with Lyme. While it seems unreachable, healing is possible.
Now, I am a best-selling author, and our story has a voice.”
