Purpose of this Blog

The purpose of this blog isn't so that I have a place to whine, cry, and get attention for my invisible suffering. Not at all. I took some time to read about other people's Lyme stories on the internet last night and, afterwards, felt that, I too, wanted to share my story. Even if my story is only one of a staggering amount - I like the thought of adding my story, like a drop of water in a large pond, to the stories of so many others. Maybe, just maybe, it will help others realize how real, debilitating, and serious this disease really is.

In my opinion, it's as bad as Cancer. Lyme disease is so evil!!! (and I laugh as I say this!). Instead of killing us off (which, heaven forbid, I have no desire to die) it tortures many, leaving us alive yet dying at the same time for many, many years. But eventually it can lead to death and has actually robbed many lives. But for the most part, thanks to this new and advanced life form called the spirochete, it mainly and "only" causes a lot of prolonged suffering.

If there are any passions or pursuits Lyme has given me it's that, as mentioned, I want to help raise awareness in others of how debilitating and real this disease is and help open others' minds as to how to go about treating this ravaging disease - antibiotics aren't the only way (nor are they THE way) of going about treating this disease, especially when it's in its chronic form.

More N.D.'s and holistic physicians need to share methods that work with one another so that successful methods of treating Lyme can be spread to as many doctors as possible and there needs to be a way for these millions of Lyme sufferers to know about, learn about and receive help from these doctors, without having it be like finding a needle in a haystack, to find them!

Also, Holistic Doctor's, Naturopathic Doctors and Lyme Specialists shouldn't have to feel that they need to keep what they're doing quiet or under the radar - especially if their treatments are working!

Much needs to be done - Lyme sufferers are caught in some strange crossfire. Suffering away and not sure about what method or which doctor can really help them!
