- registeredcorn 1y agoSame. Family member who lived out around Utah and Colorado. She had been racked with pain for something like 15-20 years. She was going to doctors constantly, trying to figure out what was wrong. She was labeled as a "drug seeker" and got shoved around for years as a result. Later on, she came across a doctor who happened to used to live in the North East and recognized it as Lyme disease pretty much instantly. She still deals with pain on a constant on-going basis, but has been slightly lessened with more targeted medications, etc. Hopefully something like this can offer her and others like her some sustainable, long-term relief.
