Shane’s Battle against Lyme Disease

I am fortunate to have my family alive and supporting me through this Lyme ✳️Disease journey. It’s difficult coming to terms with Lyme is forever and can get dramatically get worse at any moment. It’s difficult explaining to people over and over again that chronic Lyme isn’t covered by ANY insurance. I basically have to pay out of pocket for health care through a specialty clinic that focuses on Lyme and co-infections. I’m tired. I’m swollen. My body aches. My hands and arms hurt. The depression is real. The financial struggle is real. The fake smile is real. Friends say I hope you bounce back. They don’t understand because they think you’re cured in a couple weeks worth of antibiotics. I’m also having some neurological issues related to Lyme tingling, shooting pain, and numbness in my hands. Shaking hands while trying to eat cereal. I miss playing pool and competing. I don’t even have the energy to go to the pool room. If you can anything helps during this rough time and will not go unforgotten.
