Catching Lyme Early is Key to Recovery

I discovered the following two stories on the same day and found the differences interesting. 

The first link is the story about Karen Hartenstine, who discovered she had Lyme disease after she had suffered for a long time without a proper diagnosis. 

The second link is the story about Donna Hamilton, who discovered she had Lyme very early on, directly after receiving the tick bite. 

Ms. Hamilton was treated with a month of antibiotics and seemed to recover rapidly and without incident. Ms Hartenstine suffered for years before learning that she was suffering from Lyme disease and continues seek healing/recovery. 

Both of these links are videos of the women themselves speaking of their encounter with lyme.
