I've been dealing with lyme disease nearly my whole life. Undiagnosed for 20 years! Been infected since I was 9 years old. I'm now 29, and the past 10 years I have steadily gone downhill. My husband and I always kept researching for answers, when he came up with lyme disease.

It's because of sites like this that we were able to finally get this figured out. I'm now in treatment and will be happy for even a 40% improvement. I used to be very active in the community, raising money for people with cancer, planning benefit dinners, delivering meals on wheels, but since my health gives me limitations, I can no longer be as active as I would like in such things. So this is how I reach out now.

Lyme disease is so underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed, I feel the need to reach out to people who are suffering like I am and have. If I can make this journey easier for even one person I will have succeded. If you'd like to know more about me, please feel free to check out my profile page.

I've been dealing with lyme disease for 6 months. Found a tick attached to the back of my neck in July.

Became sick 8 days later, life has not been the same. (please read my profile and it will explain the story of my journey since July).

Like many of you I went on a search and found this wonderful board. I'm here to help you like the wonderful people here that have helped me understand what I am and still am going thorough, and that I/we are not alone.

Sharing stories and ideas help us all. Always remember we will win this battle with lyme, lyme will not win, we will beat this together.
