more long years' journey through lyme

i like to pretend i am not sick whenever i can, like today, still on my winter break, enjoying hiking, snowshoeing, skiing, eating - some days i have energy - especially when i dont have to work!!

speaking of gratitude, from my last post, I must thank Dr Maureen McShane for her dedication, caring, intelligence, brilliance and confidence in treating me and SO many others who are suffering from Lyme disease!! & my family who have been with me on this devastating journey for the past several years!!! & my new family doctor, Kristin Terenzi, who is the only doctor in Ontario who beleives I have Lyme disease!!!!

This is your blog, darling ...

Ann, 


We've been talking about this for a while, now's the time to start.   This blog is pretty easy to use.   We can change the colors and layout at any time.    


I know sometimes it's hard to do this - sharing your thoughts with your friends and the world - but I expect it will be cathartic.   You'll cry while recounting some of your experiences.  Your words will flood out with a myriad of emotions, at the same time you'll be getting a lot off your chest, so to speak. 


Part of me says this is going to be good for you, the other part says it's going to be good for the other people who have lyme as well.   If one person reads your thoughts, experiences, feelings, and suggestions enough to take one piece of you into their hearts, helping themselves, than I would say this blog is a success.    


Am I making sense?


Love you,






Liz
