Ally was at a breaking point when she woke up in a psych ward at the age of 18. She couldn't put a sentence together, let alone take a shower, eat a meal, or pick up a phone. What had gone wrong? In recent years, she had produced a feature film, a popular reality show for a major network, and had acted in an off-Broadway play. But now Ally was pushed to a psychotic break after struggling since she was seven years old with physical symptoms that no doctor could explain - everything from joint pain to night sweats, memory loss, nausea, and brain fog. A doctor in the psych ward was finally able to give her the answers she and her family had desperately been searching for and the diagnosis that all the previous doctors had missed. She learned that she had Lyme disease - and finally had a breakthrough.
What she didn't know was that this diagnosis would lead her down some of the most excruciating years of her life before beginning her journey to recovery from 11 years of misdiagnosis and physical pain. She would need to find her courage to heal physically, mentally, and emotionally and become the survivor she is today.
Set against the backdrop of the fast-paced fashion and entertainment industries, Bite Me shares the heartbreaking and hilarious stories that moved Ally forward on her journey from sickness to health. Its themes will be familiar to more than 300,000 Americans diagnosed with Lyme disease each year, many of whom, like Ally, wondered for years what was wrong with them. Bite Me offers listeners hope and ideas for how one can transition from victim to survivor and shares the spiritual principles and actions that have contributed to her wholeness as a human, a mother, and an international spokesperson against Lyme disease.

Almost everyone fighting this awful disabling disease is not believed, told they are crazy and often watch their lives slip away in almost unbearable pain and suffering.
Please read this book. Give it to your friends, family and to your doctors.
Please believe that when someone lives in constant pain, even though it may not be immediately identifiable, often it is not only real but worse than imagined.
Many who display symptoms similar to those Allie suffered from are treated as psychiatric cases. They are not crazy. . They are quite physically ill. Just wait. Soon enough it will happen to you or to someone close to you.
Thank you for your courage, strength and resilience in writing this book.
Profoundly amazing. Every MD needs to read this book.

She really gave me justice for my feelings. She was diagnosed at age 19 and wasn’t able to find peace for a long time. She didn’t leave anything out!
Thank you so much ally
