A few weeks ago we reported that 'All My Children's' award-winning actress Debbi

would be taking some time off from the soap. This week we've learned the

reason for her leave of absence: is dealing with Lyme disease.

While appearing on 'The Tom Joyner Show,' talked about her condition: " I

had to take a leave of absence because I was diagnosed with Lyme disease. It's

nothing fatal. Lyme disease is an infection caused by the borrelia bacteria from

a tick. It's a chronic condition and I've had it in my system for over 15

years. "

" I had two pit bulls when I lived up in the hills of L.A. and could've gotten

[bit] from [a tick on] them. "

On the bright side, will be back to work on 'AMC' very soon; expect to

see her back in Pine Valley as Dr. Angie Hubbard in early March.
