Key Takeaways:
It took 7 years to get an accurate diagnosis of Lyme disease and co-infections. After getting sick in 7th grade I couldn’t finish that year of school. When showering hurts. Instead of being an athlete and playing three sports, I could barely walk to class. Chronic pain, light sensitivities, extreme fatigue became part of everyday living. Mighty Well the company came from an entrepreneurial upbringing. I think of patients as athletes. “I love my life, but I wouldn’t wish it on anyone”-Jessica Donaldson Learn to use your voice to help others. Sometimes your health has to come first. Maybe I need to take a few days off, but I’ll be back. Created Mighty Pack Backpack for easy IV infusions as well as an antimicrobial PICC line cover sleeve.
