  • Lyme Disease

    QUESTION

    Dear Fitness Expert,
    A little over a year ago I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease as well as Lyme Meningitis. I was in the hospital and put on Rocephin for 30 days. Since then, I've been rehabilitating myself in terms of the fatigue, residual effects of the Lyme's, and then Fibromyalgia.

    I'm doing much better now, but am taking a large amount of vitamins to help with my energy levels and immune system.

  • Group B Strep Questions

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    In my first pregnancy I wasn't tested. In my second pregnancy, they told me the test came back positive. I never understood what it was. What is Group B strep? How do you get it? Does it ever go away? If it doesn't harm me then why does it harm the baby?
