About This Site
Everyone dealing with chronic Lyme Disease has a story to tell. The site serves as a platform for affected individuals to easily share a piece of their experience.
My hope is that the website also serves to:
-
Allow Lyme patients to learn from others' journeys and to read the advice they have to offer.
-
To raise awareness of:
-
The difficulty of receiving a diagnosis.
-
What it is like to live with tick-borne illness.
-
The variety of treatment paths - and the lack of one "cure-all" approach to recovery, for each case is unique.
-
The serious and complex nature of these conditions: In many cases, the experience is life-changing for patients and their loved ones.
-
Together, our collective experience is a powerful statement about Lyme and tick-borne disease. By continuing to share perspectives on life with this illness, we increase awareness----an important stepping stone to change...At the very least, by sharing, we may change ourselves.
