I had accepted that I was dying: Avril on battle with Lyme disease
Canada's 34-year-old singer Avril Lavigne has opened up about her battle with Lyme disease that she was diagnosed with in 2014, and said, "I'd accepted that I was dying." Talking about one particular night, she said, "I felt...like I was underwater and drowning." Transmitted through ticks infected with borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, Lyme disease causes fever, headache and fatigue to humans.
