In this episode you will learn:

• How Lyme disease almost wrecked Ed's quest for a college degree
• How Ed finally got the help he needed
• Ed's cutting edge work on the frontier of bioinformatics for Lyme disease

It seemed to be under control until a traumatic event on top of a highly stressful point in his college career which lead him to not only feel terrible, but also not take care of himself in a way that would help him regain his health.
