Katie DePaola’s Lyme Hack:

“Hi, I’m Katie DePaola Silverman and my Lyme Hack is this. This was something I struggled with, it’s something I encourage you to listen to because it does make a difference. It makes a big, big difference. So I had really taken on this identity of being sick, I was a sick person. I was a sick person for the 10 years that I was not diagnosed, I didn’t know what was wrong with me. And there was a period of time when that identity was my identity. And so, I realized I didn’t want to be sick anymore. I wanted to find the right doctors to help me manage and eventually cure my Lyme disease. And so, I started by saying “I am a healthy person” and telling myself I’m a healthy person and living in this new identity. So, don’t let your identity be about being sick. You’re not just a sick person, you’re not destined to be a sick person. This does not have to be your identity. That’s my tip, and I hope it helps you!”
