I barely made it through my senior year of high school, and then took two and a half years off from college. I'm also a triplet, so it was extremely hard for me to compare myself to two other people, who were healthy and to see where I was in comparison to them trying to see in Dr. Horowitz.

I met with him in May of 2022, and I told him that, it was my dream to be able to go back to school in August, and we made that happen. I have done a few rounds of dapsone and I have tolerated the drug extremely well. I was definitely worried about the side effects, but I had no, you know, issues whatsoever. Previously, getting the IV treatments was, very limiting in terms of what I was able to do.

I did years of oral antibiotics, and that was also an I experienced burnout from, from this multiple times. You know, it's really hard on you mentally and emotionally to be taking pills every day for, years at a time. but once I started a dapsone I got so much better, so much quicker. it's been great that the, impulses are so short. because, you know, that really helps with the mental health and the burnout. you know, taking all these pills. and when people ask how the treatment is, I don't lie.

It is hard. And it is intense. But I chose my hard, and I chose that my hard would be the treatment. And not like suffering with my Lyme disease.
