When Life Gives You Lyme | Ashley Baker | TEDxHagerstownWomen

Imagine the entire course of your life being changed by something no bigger than the size of a poppyseed. Ashley Baker is a pioneer in the space of Lyme and Tickborne disease awareness—one of the most controversial diagnoses in medicine today: Neurological Lyme disease, also known as Persistent or Chronic Lyme. After going unheard, dismissed, and sick Ashley learned from other Advocates and Trail Blazers out in the world who stood up for themselves and their health and is on a mission to change the narrative and inspire hope, reminding anyone silently suffering—you’re worth going to bat for too!
