Original Stryper bassist Tim Gaines, who parted ways with the band in 2017, is working on his autobiography.
"In writing my autobiography, I am currently writing about my experience with Chronic Lyme Disease," says Gaines. "I was infected by a tick in 2008. 10 days into the infection, I was sent to the ER, being told by an urgent care doctor that I was having a heart attack.
"In the months that followed, one of the first indications that something was desperately wrong with my system was I started having fatigue and night sweats. As the fatigue came and went, I experienced unusual body sweats while playing on stage. I would become embarrassingly "soaked" in sweat after only a few songs. This photo captures what I went through in 2009. Only a few numbers into the set I was drenched. Crazy stuff, and it only gets worse."
