I've been through the ringer, myself. I had my tonsils removed at age 5. My appendix at age 25. And I was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2017. I've experienced back pain that feels like getting stabbed with a knife. My Lyme disease test results came back with "5 hot bands" when you only need 2 hot bands to be considered Lyme positive. My Lyme progressed to the point where I had a 102-degree F fever and a case of meningitis (unofficially). I didn't want to go to the hospital - and didn't - because I knew the only solution would be IV-antibiotics.
