A friend of mine in college suffered terribly from Lyme in the early 1990s, when the disease wasn't as readily diagnosed and treatment protocols weren't established. He lost 100 pounds and dropped out of school. Lyme today is the most common infectious disease in New England.

- 616c 13y agoI knew someone similarly in my youth, when he was between 10 and 13 years old. He would walk around with a gas nebulizer that would give him the necessary meds intravenously, and get the stint in properly I was told by him and his mother was an experience filled with pain, screaming, and terror. Even with a friend who mostly able to live a normal life, the pain difficulty of the disease and treatment literally scared me for years after.
