From Suffering in Silence to Lyme Advocate: My Personal Journey of Hope and Healing

Why I Became a Lyme Advocate: My Personal Journey

Living with Lyme disease can be a lonely and isolating experience. When I first became sick, I struggled to find answers and support from the medical community. Eventually, I was diagnosed with Lyme disease and began treatment, but the road to recovery was long and difficult.

Throughout my journey, I realized that there were many others like me who were struggling to get the care and support they needed. That’s when I decided to become a Lyme advocate.

As a Lyme advocate, I work to raise awareness about Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. I educate the public about the symptoms of Lyme disease and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. I also advocate for better research and funding for Lyme disease, so that we can find better treatments and, ultimately, a cure. And get more education about prevention and how lifestyle can affect your recovery and help you from relapsing.  

Here are a few reasons why I am passionate about Lyme advocacy:

  1. To help others: Lyme disease can be a debilitating illness, and many people suffer for years before receiving a proper diagnosis. By raising awareness about Lyme disease and advocating for better care, I hope to help others avoid the same struggles that I faced.
  2. To make a difference: As a Lyme advocate, I know that I am making a difference in the lives of those affected by Lyme disease. Whether it’s through raising awareness or advocating for better care, I know that my efforts are helping to make a positive impact.
  3. To change the system: Lyme disease is often misunderstood by the medical community, and many people struggle to get the care they need. By advocating for better research and funding, I hope to change the system so that everyone can receive the care and support they need.

If you are considering becoming a Lyme advocate, know that you can make a difference. Whether it’s through volunteering with a local Lyme organization or sharing your story on social media, every effort counts. Together, we can raise awareness, improve care, and find a cure for Lyme disease.

You are not crazy, there is hope!!
