Lyme disease is still a widely misunderstood disease in northwestern Ontario and across Canada.
That’s the feeling of author Vanessa Farnsworth.
Farnsworth was diagnosed with Lyme Disease six years ago, and says still not a lot is known about the illness.
She says there’s not a lot of research done in Canada, adding that she has come across a lot of research from the United States.
Farnsworth says her symptoms were mis-diagnosed a long time before finally finding out she was in fact suffering from Lyme Disease.
When looking up information online about Lyme Disease, Farnsworth says a lot of the information is very confusing and conflicting.
