Can a tick bite change your life forever? Erika spent five years searching for a diagnosis, while her body deteriorated and no one could explain what was happening.

In this episode of I Survived..., Erika shares her story with Lyme disease and the difficult journey she faced, seeing dozens of specialists, undergoing medical tests, and enduring treatments. She experienced devastating symptoms such as extreme fatigue, neuropathic pain, memory loss, and severe hypertension.

But the pain wasn't the only thing she had to face. She was also labeled "crazy" and "hypochondriac" while spending millions of pesos searching for answers.

Her story is a testament to uncertainty, struggle, and perseverance in not giving up when no one seems to listen.
