Lyme Disease an endless battle

I have been in pain since I was 16 years old. That translates to 34 years. I had my first hip replacement when I was 29 years old. Back then hip replacements weren't nearly as advanced as they are now, so unfortunately, I have had to have 5 revision surgeries since then. The other puzzling part of this story, is that the arthritic pain was replaced with muscular pain, that was always shrugged off, and I was instructed to do more PT. It never occurred to me that I had Lyme disease, I didn't even know what that was. I always just accepted the level of pain that I was in, thinking that hip replacements weren't designed for people with a 6'7" frame. I always said "they didn't make prosthetics for dinosaurs" Little did I know that there were things beyond my wildest imagination that were causing these things, and I was about to make a discovery that would change my life forever!
