Send us Fan MailAthena Brownson was at the peak of physical fitness as a teen and into her twenties, but things began to change out of nowhere. Soon after, she was diagnosed with Lyme Disease, but the diagnosis was just the beginning. Lyme disease is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks (deer ticks) carrying the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, joint and muscle aches, rash, arthritis, and varying degrees of all types of auto-immune disease. It can result in death and in Athena's case, has taken her to the brink of hell and back. This episode shows how strength, resilience, and mind over matter, can triumph!!
