I wrote about my experience and sent it to local newspapers. It was published in many-including sister news papers out of my state. I was, and still am, pissed about how I was treated by mainstream doctors.

Anyways, after that got published I received about 200 emails from people looking for a lyme doctor. A few of the newspapers asked if I would leave my email adress with it. I never thought I'd get that big of response but I did. Some people who read the newspapers without my email attached, even called me at the school I work at. I don't have Facebook but people still found a way to hunt me down. There are tons of people suffering so really anything you can do to spread the word is good.

I was one of the people who use to think lyme was not that big of a deal. Wow am I dwelling on that thought now.

I also didn't think that many people still read newspapers lol but they do. If you guys have the energy and brain function (I don't always) i encourage you to tell your story to a local newspaper. You never know who it will help.

Also WHEN I get better I want to start a lyme disease awareness run/walk in Wisconsin. We need legit awareness about this disease more than many. So if anyone knows how to go about that let me know. 😊

Thanks Jb1994. Yeah it's very hard not to get personal and emotional when telling our stories. But we are all human and guarentee others can connect with your story. When you feel comfortable I say go for it. If you leave your email just be prepared for lots of desperate people. It gave me a purpose when talking to all those people and trying to help them but it also made me very sad to hear about their pain and suffering. I just know more people are being misdiagnosed or undiagnosed every day and it makes me so mad. I feel I have to get involved everytime I heard about peoples failing health because I've been in their shoes. I say next may for lyme month we all publish our stories!!!!!!!!
