Ally Hilfiger, daughter of fashion mogul Tommy Hilfiger, shares her struggle with misdiagnosis, mental warfare, and an eventual diagnosis and recovery from Lyme disease. Ally had struggled since she was 7-years-old with uncomfortable symptoms that no doctor could explain, and was now pushed to a spiritual and mental emergency by the mysterious maladies plaguing her body, her own forms of self-medication with pot and alcohol. After 11 years of unanswered questions, she found herself in a psych ward, where she learned that she, in fact, had Lyme disease. It was there that she began her journey to diagnosis and recovery after years of physical pain.
