Hi PeteZa!-

Thank you for posting this article!

What a very sad story of how Lyme disease can greatly affect someone!

I also wondered how many people that have Alzheimer's also have Lyme disease!!

Thank you again for sharing! :)

You are welcome. I am just so glad he and his wife are wanting to share their story to the world.

I think everyone should - it brings with it awareness.

The sad part is, a lot of people who suffer from Lyme disease are not celebrities.

Just the average person like you and me. Just trying to get the word out about how absolutely horrific this disease is.

We don't hold much credibility because we are not famous. We are looked at (by society) as being "crazy" for all the symptoms that we talk about.

I am trying to educate my family of why I have displayed the same symptoms as: M.S., Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Dementia, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, and ALS. Since I have started treatment for Lyme, Babesia, Bartonella, Candida.

I was misdiagnosed for 27 years. I have a long road ahead of me.

I agree. I am so grateful to these celebrities for helping to spread the word. I've encountered so many people (family members included) that think it's all "in my head" etc. I've also met people who know I have Lyme and are scared to touch me because they think they'll get it. It can be so discouraging. But then I meet people who watched Real Housewives and learned about Lyme through that or have read articles like this one and then reached out to me. It makes me so so so grateful!

Thanks PeteZa,

What a great interview with such a positive message for all of us! It sounds like they will be wonderful advocates for the Lyme community. And the fact that they are out there, still touring and very social gives me hope, not just for us Lymies but to spread the message.
