Please welcome our new Moderator, saraeli!!

Congrats! I am happy too. Both of you have been so incredibly helpful to me the past 3 months... I’m so grateful.

Thank you, Sara!! Your posts are always so helpful and detailed.

Thank you, saraeli! As others have rightly noted, you're a great asset to this forum and are incredibly helpful and thoughtful in your numerous contributions. I enjoy reading your posts and value your perspectives.

Girlie: I'm glad to see you and the other Moderators getting some additional help. Hopefully, you'll be able to pull back from the forum a bit and enjoy a much deserved break.

My sincere thanks to all the Moderators, as well as the many wonderful members who offer so much knowledge, comfort, and inspiration.

Thank you saraeli!

Awww thank you, everyone! Your kind words mean a lot to me. (Grinning so hard right now.) This forum is so helpful to me, and I hope to be helpful in return.

Congrats saraeli

woooohoooooo!!!! congrats!!

Your volunteerism to help others is rare and appreciated. Your responses to some of my "panic" questions have helped so much for me. There are so many you have helped.

Thank you all so much! I find your welcome very touching.

I want to let everyone know that I am in the process of moving, so in the next couple of months there will be days here and there that I'm MIA, but I will not disappear and I definitely care! (And part of moving is mold remediation. Oy!)

I have a background as a writer, academic, and crisis counselor. Now, as a person with Lyme and its associated chronic conditions, actively participating in a Lyme forum feels like an obvious thing for me to do! I hope to continue getting to know you all. What we all do here - the community, support, hope, empathy, and practical answers - really is amazing.
