A mum who suffered in pain for eight years and left bed bound by a mystery illness has finally received a diagnosis after travelling to Mexico.Kirstie Haysman first started experiencing fatigue and pain in her joints in 2015, with doctors initially telling her that it was likely an infection or autoimmune condition.
After years of struggling and still without a diagnosis, the 34-year-old travelled to Mexico for blood tests - which showed she was suffering from Lyme disease.As reported by Wales Online, the bacterial infection spreads to humans through infected ticks and causes high temperature and fever, headaches, muscle and joint pain and tiredness and loss of energy.Kirstie, from Watford, said: “[If the infection had been diagnosed] it could have cleared up in 28 days with antibiotics - now my body is shutting down and my husband has to pick me up to use the toilet and have a bath.
I was doing high intensity training before, I was very fit and it's now at the point where when I wake up my entire body is weak and hurts everywhere.“I pray it gets better so I can walk around – I've been outside twice in last the six weeks, other than that my life is in bed.
