Inside you will find a symptom checklist which may be helpful in diagnosing Lyme. If you suspect that you may have been infected with Lyme disease, seek medical consultation at once. Click for More 
Treatment Of Lyme Disease

         I have created this website because my own life has been greatly affected by Lyme disease. I was misdiagnosed for years and dealt with dozens of doctors. I would hate to have another person needlessly go through the same thing that I have. Since I have been living with it for so many years, I often wonder what parts of who I am are really me and what parts are the disease. I live my life from day to day and try my best to stay positive. Some days I make it out into the world and get stuff done
and other days I just can’t. Maybe one day I will be completely healed. In the mean time I keep my faith and count my blessings.
