She and the family thought she had picked up a very bad flu or had picked up Lyme’s disease. She was sleeping a lot and lost many cognitive skills.

The side effects of that drug were such that she has opted to discontinue it and have a better quality of life. Since the treatments Heidi’s cognitive skills have improved.
