I share my experience of getting Lyme Disease, which is how I landed in Dr. Shackelton''s office a few years ago.  We discuss what the classic symptoms of both Acute and Chronic Lyme are.  The best tools to diagnose and treat Acute Lyme vs. Chronic Lyme.  How Chronic Lyme is often misdiagnosed as or contributing to diagnoses such as Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Autoimmune disorders and even Multiple Sclerosis.   There are many misconceptions about Lyme and how to treat it. Early diagnosis and treatment of Lyme is key to avoiding chronic issues, and it is often overlooked.  I hope you find this episode informative and helpful!

I love northern Michigan, aka "Up North", and specifically Cathead Bay.  It's my "Zen" place.  A big part of what makes it so special is Lake Michigan.  While vacationing in Northern Michigan, I inspired to write a poem about Lake Michigan and to utilize it in a gratitude meditation. Writing in general, especially poetry, is not a strength of mine, to say the least!  None the less, I was directed by the Universe, Divine, Spirit to write a poem and share.  I truly hope something here resonates with you and inspires you in some way!  Much love to you all.
