I'm grateful to Dr. Marra for treating me and helping me get my life back. I was in treatment for 10 years. When I first came in, I couldn't be out of bed for more than 2-3 hours a day due to extreme fatigue, had migraines half the time or more, regularly experienced heart palpitations, and many, many more symptoms. I was told by other Drs it was stress from being in college but finally went to a naturopath for my original diagnosis. Thankfully, because my symptoms were getting worse by the month.
I went to Dr Marra for treatment and now I have a demanding full-time job, have active hobbies like running, bouldering, and paddleboarding, and have time and energy for an active social life. It all came back slowly over time, with a full-time job 3 years after starting treatment and layering in additional activities as I got better. I've been stable for 2 years now without treatment, with no sign of illness returning. A long road, but 1,000% worth it to have a full life.
If you have Lyme disease and you worry that you'll never be OK again -- I see you, I was you, and I hope you find comfort and hope in knowing that it can get better. All the best wishes to you, no one deserves to deal with this awful illness.
