Brooke writes from central Illinois, where she lives with her husband and children. Karissa has been on IV treatments for more than three years, fighting the damage done to her body by Lyme disease; with ongoing treatments, her health is stable. Without ongoing IV treatments, she is bedridden. She maintains a positive attitude and redeems hours of IV treatment time by working on school, with a goal of entering the medical field so she can help others who are suffering the way she has suffered. Brooke advocates for Lyme awareness by writing about Karissa’s harrowing journey to a diagnosis and healing. She is deeply grateful for the work of the Global Lyme Alliance. The organization offers a priceless gift which suffering Lyme patients have found to be very rare indeed: hope.
