Why wear a ribbon?

"Because I take on Lymes Disease every day of my life and when i see others weari..." (justbeingme)

MDJunction to me

"In the 3 months I have been with MDJunction I have developed a sense of calmness. I now friends who do not judge me because I have been a mental mess at times. It is such a good feeling to have friends I can tell my deepest thoughts and always get back to me with their support. I have never seen a therapist for long periods of time. Right or wrong, this is the best therapy possible for me. Thanks Roy for getting this up and running and making such a difference in my life. Sara" (saralaurie)

Just a reminder that you should not get a live Christmas tree, as they can bring ticks right into your home! A post from Bettyg just reminded me of this. That is how she got lyme disease, from her parents Christmas tree, 38 years ago! Instead, opt for one of the artificial trees, they have done some great things with them these days, some look so real, and even come pre-lit! If you must get a real tree, or spend time in anyone's house who has a real tree, be sure to check your family for ticks very carefully.
Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.
