Doesn't this look familiar.
My symptoms were noticeable, as many with major lyme.
Work:
In the past I was asked by co-workers and bosses:
-Why are you so sleepy?
-Where is your brain the last week?
-why are you limping?
-you need to stop reversing numbers
I never mentioned lyme in the workplace and avoid facebook (faceplant, fakebook lol) to avoid being labels as nuts.
I reminded them of my better skills and said they should too.
If they pushed, I let them know directly of their weaknesses too (told this to some superiors too).
--------------------
Non-work:
Only non-work people know my health, and I dont go on about
it. Again, I dont announce it on any social media platform with my name. Never.
