At the time she visited my office Miki “her nickname” was in her mid-forties. One morning she woke up and had a sudden loss, of vision in one of her eyes. A friend drove her to the eye doctor, he examined the eye and was unable to find a problem. The eye specialist referred her to a neurologist because he was concerned that something serious might be going on and Miki needed further examination. After a series of tests, the doctor reported that she had lesions on her brain. A scary situation especially because his recommendation was a spinal tap. He suspected early-stage Multiple Sclerosis. In the meantime, while she waited for her appointment for the procedure, Miki came in to see me. She was worried and I don’t blame her the waiting was nerve-wracking. During the session, I told her that I felt like she had Lyme disease and that after the treatment she’d be alright. She had the spinal tap and it was conclusive, no Multiple Sclerosis. I was right it was Lyme disease. The Lyme doctor gave her a couple of months of oral antibiotics for her treatment, but the Lyme disease persisted. The next step was intravenous for six weeks and Miki would have to make some changes to make it work, because of the needle port, as well as the limited arm movement. There were a few other daily adjustments, but ultimately, she surrendered to the treatment that took care of the disease.
