Great video Jean-Luc ! I, too struggle with Neuro Lyme DIsease and a few other tick borne illnesses ..two bites with two EM rashes..that i know of ! It was a rough road indeed but I am doing much better these days..we can't give up ... ever .! So glad you are feeling better ! Lots of good people here who feel your pain and share hope and strength ! .

You are a true inspiration to me. My experience is incredibly similar to yours. Struggling immensely but finally have a positive and healthy mind for the first time since the severe neurological symptoms took over 3 years ago. I'm from the Seattle area, was infected training for a summit attempt on Mt. Rainier. Very excited to get my life back. You will be in my prayers.

The first song is 'Days to the end of coal' by Christopher Arruda.

Dude you got this man. I'm totally in the same boat. I'm 26 too and have had this thing for 3 years. It all started with a VERY VERY stiff neck. Playing the guitar is totally good for you. It might sound crazy... but it helps to balance out your central nervous system. BTW I got this infection in either Wisconsin or Florida.. as I was bitten by ticks in both places shortly before getting the super stiff neck that triggered everything else. Keep shining brother! We'll beat this!

Man, I've heard of lyme disease my whole life growing up surrounded by the forest. I had no idea that it was like this...at all. Totally thanks for sharing. Best of luck!!!
