Lyme Disease In The News!
Perry Fields, is an athlete and Lyme Disease Advocate. Perry's ordeal with Lyme Disease came with an innocent tick bite in 2003, that Perry "thought nothing of". After all, Perry didn't know much about tick borne illnesses and was in the midst of preparing for the 2004 Olympics. Running with Lyme successfully, in 2005 it all came to an end in the middle of the biggest race of the year, the US Track and Field Championships. Perry became terribly ill in the middle of the race in front of thousands of spectators and national television. The experience was "every athlete's worst nightmare."
Perry then went on a fast and furious journey to find "the cure" and to recover 100% from a disease that is deemed "incurable." Perry's journey took many whacky turns as the athlete wasn't going to take "no" for an answer. She pressed on finding help in the strangest places from doctors, researchers and ultimately experimenting on herself. Perry, once face to face with her own mortality and thoughts of suicide, now is fully recovered and has regained 100% of her health back. She now believes the disease is curable.
