Avril Lavigne opens up about her battle with Lyme disease

The songstress stopped by Good Morning America on Wednesday and instantly became emotional when discussing some of the struggles she had to face.

What she suspected to be dehydration while on tour last April, turned out to be a crippling bacterial infection that comes from a tick bite, as confirmed by her diagnosis in December 2013.

'I went from doctor to doctor for about eight months until I found somebody that had the knowledge of Lyme disease and the experience of treating it.'

She went on: 'I actually knew I had it the whole time, probably since the summer, and was just up against a lot of doctors telling me, ‘You’re crazy, some of them were like, 'It doesn’t exist.'
