In this powerful episode of the Love, Hope, Lyme podcast, host Fred Diamond is joined by Lyme advocate Marjorie Veiga for an honest, practical conversation about managing the overwhelm of Lyme disease and tickborne illnesses.

Marjorie shares her personal journey with tickborne illness, which began in 1999, and her experience caring for her daughter through years of Lyme coinfections.

Drawing on her background as a senior manager at Verizon and her deep involvement in the Lyme community, Marjorie explains why organization, documentation, and support systems are critical to healing.

At the center of the conversation is "My Lyme Guide," the comprehensive resource Marjorie created to help Lyme patients and caregivers track medications, appointments, symptoms, insurance, school accommodations, and more especially when brain fog and fatigue make daily management overwhelming.

Together, Fred and Marjorie discuss:

💚 Why Lyme disease creates unique and ongoing overwhelm

💚 How organization can accelerate healing and reduce stress

💚 Managing medications, pulsing and rotating treatments, and symptom tracking

💚 Supporting children with Lyme and navigating schools, 504 plans, and IEPs

💚 Using technology, apps, and patient portals to stay organized

💚 Frequency-based and bioresonance therapies as complementary healing tools

💚 Practical advice for caregivers and families walking this journey together

💚 How hope, teamwork, and adaptability matter at every stage of healing

Marjorie also shares encouragement for those early or deep into their Lyme journey, reminding listeners that healing is not one-size-fits-all and that there are always new paths forward.

This episode is especially valuable for:

✔️ Lyme survivors

✔️ Parents and caregivers

✔️ Those overwhelmed by complex treatment plans

✔️ Anyone seeking practical tools, structure, and hope

💚 You are not alone. There is help. There is hope.
