Here’s to all the Lyme Warriors
Going to rant here. May offend some. Don't care. It seems that most people think that people with Lyme disease are off their rocker and people with other illnesses recognized by mainstream medicine are ”brave”. Contrary to what you may have been made to believe by doctors people with Lyme Disease are NOT hypochondriacs.
They do NOT want to be sick. Nor are they drama queens seeking attention, and the last thing they would ever want to be considered is a burden to their families. Rather just the opposite…You may think you are helping by telling them this but you are doing more harm than good when you don’t treat chronically ill people with anything less than compassion. People with Lyme Disease are victims. Victims of a broken health care system based on greed that doesn’t care about their suffering or the quality of life that they live.
They have been forgotten, ignored, shunned by their doctors, and lied to by the CDC. People with cancer are heroes for the battles they fight -true …but try fighting that battle with no help from doctors, no treatment, and no encouragement. Let’s see how long you would last under those circumstances. Never judge a journey you haven’t walked. Never assume things about what you don’t understand. As far as I am concerned people who fight Lyme disease every day with absolutely no help from mainstream medicine and no compassion-they are the real brave Warriors. They deserve a medal for going to battle with no armor, no backup, and no support and they do it with a smile on their face.
So here’s to you beautiful, brave Lyme warriors…
YOU ROCK!!!!!!
