Welcome to my blog! This is a place of information and hope for fellow Canadians who are suffering from Lyme disease. I want to share with you the knowledge I have gained during my fight with this debilitating, frightening, and misunderstood illness. I hope you will be blessed.

THE END

Today is the day of No Mores!!!!!  I just got off the phone with my Lyme-literate medical doctor.  After 18 months of treatment for Lyme disease, I'm now D*O*N*E!!!  Yep!  No more antibiotics!  No more medication side-effects!  No more drug claims to submit!  No more bumpy rides through Michigan on I-69 every 6 weeks!  No more visits to Frankenmuth!  No more visits to Birch Run! (Wait a minute, what am I saying? We'll probably squeeze in Frankenmuth and Birch Run now and then, just for old times' sake!)

Thank you, Dr. L, for saving my life!  But the glory goes ultimately to God, who guided my steps, led me out of this crazy maze, and walked with me the whole way.  My prayer is now for those who will come after me, who will face these similar struggles.  I will do whatever I can to help anyone who asks, and to fight for changes in the way Lyme disease is recognized and treated in this country.  No one should have to go through this when we have the knowledge and ability to prevent this kind of suffering.

If you, or someone you know suspects that they may have Lyme disease, it is important to be evaluated by a Lyme-literate medical doctor.  Remission is definitely within the realm of possibility, with the right treatment.  I am living proof of this!
