I just watched this and it's crazy seems like my story same as her doctors saying its in your head and all this crap till you finally find out, and she's doing a lot better now. Sounds like she had babesia too with night sweats? I wish she would share her treatment protocol

I heard she was communicating with Yoland Foster...so maybe she went to her Dr. whoever that was.

She probably did the IV antibiotics.

I haven't watched it yet...I forgot about it...

How long does she think she was infected?

Thanks for sharing HappyJo. I started to tear up watching the interview. I thought it was good, but way too short. I hope to hear more from Avril.

I would love to know about her treatment. She said she is halfway through. I'm grateful that she is speaking out. Let's hope she continues to do so and shares more of her story.

Daddylonglegs,

I can't remember how long she has been infected. It took her 2 months of going from specialist to specialist until she figured out she probably had Lyme and found a Lyme specialist. She seemed to indicate we have to be our own advocates. Unfortunately, it is very true.

Lymie-

I checked the Wiki and a little Google and couldn't find anything.

Just wondering if this was a lifetime thing (maybe bit as a child) or something more recent. Maybe she'll say more (book?) at some point.

I've also read that Pres Bush Jr had it while in office. It's never been revealed what his treatment consisted of...

Lyme knows no boundaries...billionaires or the poor(me)!

That's the interview.

Re Pres Bush Jr-their cattle ranchers. That makes me assume their pretty versed in Lyme. We're used to Lyme=Chronic Lyme but that may not be the case in his situation.

There's articles online when she first came out and said she said Lyme that she felt like crap for a good year and found out after she was in Vegas for her bday when she was so fatigued she couldn't enjoy her trip

jrpsf-

I'd still love to know the treatment ... did he get 10 days of doxy and given the all clear? :)

He caught it right away.....and it was treated
