I am a single parent of three wonderful angels. I have a daughter, seen in my photograph, and two unique and wonderful boys. My two sons were both born with an extremely rare genetic disorder known as “X-Linked Alpha Thalassemia Mental Retardation Syndrome” Both boys are have sever developmental delays. Both are non-verbal and communicate with limited signs. They love to laugh and are easily entertained by the small things in life.

I live in the northeast and suffer from seasonal depression. I basically hibernate from november until april. Besides moving, I’d really like to talk to people about how they’ve conquered their depression. I’m a really cynical person and depression has got me beat 
Hi, all. I’ve had Lyme disease for approximately 6 years. I got diagnosed and received appropriate treatment after 2 years (which is MUCH FASTER than most Lyme patients) and have done very well with my treatment. I am a “Success Story” so I know that it may be possible for other people to get better.
I’ll be glad to share the treatments that I received and to give anyone/everyone hope that there truly may be an end to their suffering.
I think I might have Lyme disease.

Hi! I have chronic Lyme (yes, there IS such a thing, don’t believe the IDSA or the Insurance company lobbyist’s lies and propaganda.!!!.). I would like to meet others with Lyme, and those who have been “cured” or at least regained most of their health. I would like to give and recieve support for this horrible and misconstrued disease.

Being tested & want to educate myself
I have a brilliant friend who is afflicted with chronic lyme disease. She is a strong spirit who would be a major contribution to the world without this disease. Her long-term disability insurer has refused payment. She falls through the cracks for medicare regarding an aggressive cutting edge treatment. I am the point person for her network of support, and want to connect in as many ways as possible.
Hi, I was diagnosed with lyme in 2003 and treated for it and had no further symptons…til now. I need info on chronic lyme and whether there is a possibility i have it even though i am now testing negative. I’m verrry confused.
I have what I believe is chronic Lyme and Bsbesiosis. I have been in treatment for 5+ years. I feel a bit like a veteran and would gladly offer any help through my experiences so far. I am not “cured” yet but, yes, I am still breathing.
I am a resident of the State of Kentucky. I have recently been diagnosed with Lyme Disease. I have two bites. One old, one as new as three months. I saw in an article where research on this disease is being done.
I had no idea I would ever be told I had Lyme. I thought, and was suggested by doctors, that I may have Lupus, MS, or something similar as I am always, always tired, in pain, etc. It was scary. It still is as I read there may not be improvement in people who have had the disease for a long time. White matter disease showed in a recent MRI while a severe migraine was being investigated.
I had my first bite in the Summer of 1999. Now that I’ve been diagnosed with an “old” bite, I recall when it happened. I was frightened I had a spider bite (as I am terrified of spiders) and I went to the ER. I was told it wasn’t a spider bite and sent home. It was a huge, round, red infectious circle on the back of my leg. I always wondered why they didn’t seem concerned about it. With that being said, I have been suffering from Lyme Disease for most of seven years. It has been extremely difficult dealing with the pain and other symptoms that go along with Lyme. I feared I had everything. I couldn’t understand why I was in so much pain and so very tired all of the time and no doctor seemed to be able to tell me why.
Thank God I found the doctor who cared enough to investigate.
