What Lyme Does To The Brain

“Since Lyme Disease is just a myth, can I have a unicorn too?”
Very few people are fortunate enough to pursue diagnosis and treatment of Lyme Disease without encountering some variation of the “Lyme is a myth!” line. 
I’ve had Lyme disease since ‘09 and just getting diagnosed and treated has been a huge struggle.  There is a huge need for education and awareness.  I can’t do a lot of serious activism but I launched this t-shirt campaign, because I hope wearing this shirt will be a lighthearted conversation starter. People need to know that Lyme does exist, all over North America, and almost every other part of the world.
If this shirt gets fifteen preorders by February 8th it will be printed.  They’re just $10 each, screenprinted on Hanes tagless 100% cotton shirts.  The shirts are very nice but will shrink in the wash, so make sure to order a larger size!
To order one of the shirts, go here:

So now that I am done with school I am going to try to lose this 50 lbs to get back to a healthy weight! I have worked on my diet and tomorrow I start bikram yoga! I am hoping this helps and that the heat helps to detox these spirochetes out of hiding and out of my body!! Wish me luck!

Well folks…..

It’s official I have made it through nursing school while battling Lyme disease! When I was diagnosed in may I was not sure I could make it through my last semester but I did! It was tougher but I pushed through! My pinning ceremony was last night my whole family and n was there cheering me on and I was so damn proud of myself! I can not believe it is over but now on to studying for the nclex!

Four lectures left almost nclex time!!!

So what I have decided to do is make a list of everything I am not confident and maybe make some lists or concept maps for those and then questions questions questions… I hope this is enough! I’m so nervous!! I feel like i know nothing from fundamentals…
