Bit - July 2012
Diagnosed - 2014
2012 I was bit by a tick in Orlando Florida when I was fishing from the shore in a public pond. Three days later I was on my way back home to Canada from a business trip with a fever of 102. I went to my family doctor because of a bullseye rash on the back of my leg and was told it was an allergy. Seven weeks later nothing was getting rid of my new illness. I was admitted to hospital and spent 9 days in intensive care suffereing from Meningits. My road to Lyme Disease had just begun. Eventually I did the Igenix testing and found out that I had Lyme Disease and Co-Infections. I still work extremely hard fighing one issue after the other...typical lyme disease. I felt the need to raise awareness and founded World Lyme Day raising awareness and funds to find a cure.

Bit - Unknown
Diagnosed - TBA
After Years of struggling multiple issues, I was at a loss when doctors could not find the reason. I began investigating how all of my symptoms could be happening yet no diagnosis from my family doctor. Multiple hospital visits and still diagnosis was not being made.
I took it upon myself to try and find out what was going on. Via the internet I started seeing all of my symptons start mimicking a disease I had never really heard about... Lyme Disease. It did not take very long before I realized I was not alone.
