Summary:
Ally
Hilfiger
, daughter of fashion mogul Tommy
Hilfiger
, shares her eleven year struggle with misdiagnosis, mental warfare, and an eventual diagnosis and recovery from Lyme disease. Undiagnosed, the fashion heiress suffered with the disease's crippling symptoms - which include chronic fatigue, headaches and muscle pain - for almost two decades.
Ally
was at a breaking point when her father put her in a psych ward at the age of eighteen. She had struggled since she was seven 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, and the notoriety gained by starring on one of the first reality TV shows. Rich Girls was an MTV reality show that aired for one season in the fall of 2003 and winter of 2004. The show followed the lives of the daughters of two very successful businessmen:
Ally
Hilfiger
and her then-best friend Jaime Gleicher as they completed their final semester of high school. Eventually
Ally
learned that she had Lyme disease. Now she was able to begin her journey to diagnosis and recovery after eleven years of misdiagnosis and physical pain.
