Jill's adventure with Lyme Disease began in 2010, some six years before our first consultation, or at least that is what she thought.  It first manifested as muscle stiffness, severe indigestion and tremendous fatigue.  As with so many cases of Lyme, her condition was not correctly diagnosed initially.  Jill was told she had GERD (gastric reflux) and had surgery for that.  Perhaps because her sister was diagnosed with Lupus (the autoimmune illness Systemic Lupus Erythematosus or SLE), she too was told that was the problem and was treated for it.  Nothing seemed to help.
