MDJunction to me

"I am so happy to be a part of the MDJunction family! Where I used to be alone, I now have friends whom inspire me, comfort me, support me, and do not judge me. My new life began October 17, 2008. I weighed in with severe depression, social anxiety disorder and avoidant personality disorder. I was born with complications but I am fighting for my life and I will survive!!" (apieceofwork)

 Here is another useful link. This is a great story to use when introducing someone to Lyme. She touches on everything from chronic Lyme, to LLMDs, to Plum Island. Here's the link: http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2007-07/features/ lymecountry

Thanks,

Lori

 Hello,

Great story, very inspiring!

I called Plum Island and wanted to know about Lyme disease. I got the right gal, for, she told me that no one would speak with me there, but gave me a past Scientists' e-mail, who now works for....guess who....The Dept. of Homeland Security!!

Funny, isn't it!
