After contracting Lyme disease, Lauren quickly developed severe symptoms, including neurological issues, heart complication, and P.O.T.S forcing her into a year long battle that drained her health, finances and strength. Through hospital visits, costly treatments, and constant setbacks, she continues caring for her 7 Bluetick hounds and her farm almost entirely on her own. We explore the science behind Lyme, why it's called \"The Great Imitator\" and the importance of prevention, tick-removal, and tick-testing services like TickCheck. This is a story of resilience, reality and the urgent need for better Lyme awareness and research.</p><p><br></p><p>Instagram: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/brew_city_blue_hounds?igsh=MTExdXM0YjlveWQzcw%3D%3D&amp;utm_source=qr\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/brew_city_blue_hounds?igsh=MTExdXM0YjlveWQzcw%3D%3D&amp;utm_source=qr</a></p><p><br></p><p>Facebook: <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/share/18PymsmEWE/?mibextid=wwXIfr\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.facebook.com/share/18PymsmEWE/?mibextid=wwXIfr</a></p><p><br></p><p>TickCheck: <a href=\"https://www.tickcheck.com/landing/lyme-disease?gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=201474434&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADvq656tIgEmHWdne88I47vdGxNAn\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.tickcheck.com/landing/lyme-disease?gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=201474434&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADvq656tIgEmHWdne88I47vdGxNAn</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Tick Testing: <a href=\"https://web.uri.edu/tickencounter/testing/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://web.uri.edu/tickencounter/testing/</a></p>","author_name":"Brad Mathewson "}
