Why wear a ribbon?

 
"I wear this ribbon because I have Lyme Disease. I also wear this ribbon to learn..." (MElymie)

MDJunction to me

cinderella"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....

thanks MDJunction

I have high blood pressure at 28 years old, had it since I was 17 and suspect that's when I got lyme disease, does anyone else with lyme have high blood pressure? I also have tachycardia when I am herxing, but haven't heard of many that have the high blood pressure.

spread CINNAMON on your food you eat daily; dr. oz says it will lower your high blood pressure.

yes, i've read of many folks with this problem; don't know about the heart issue also, but high BP yes.

Here is some great suggestions for lowering blood pressure the natural way....Of course with Lyme you can fully do the diet but maybe some of the other supps.

I have very low blood pressure because of my Lyme...Dizzy and faint most of the time.

Cinnamon is a great idea too, it has a lot of other benefits for Lyme.

I use to have low b lood pressure. It recently started fluctuating. I now take bp pills.

My theory is that lyme creates a biofilm that thickens the blood. So I figure it most likely is from lyme

I have had Lyme for about 15 years, but as the symtoms became stronger I developed high blood pressure. I finally agreed to go on some BP meds. Although anxiety and pain that goes along with Lyme and coinfections cause high blood bressure...I still think that the infection itself is doing it.
