Lyme Disease

Craig HedbergMay is Lyme disease awareness month. And while many people know that bites from a Deer tick can transmit Lyme disease to humans, most are unaware of two similar diseases spread by deer ticks. Craig Hedberg, a professor of environmental health sciences at the University of Minnesota, says the three diseases exhibit similar symptoms.

My sister Tracie and I both have chronic lyme disease. We are also the one's who wrote the proclamation for awareness of this horrific disease. I went 10 years misdiagnosed and now have lesions in my brain, liver and on my spinal cord. We are both working hard on starting our advocacy/website in order to help others. We are called Minnesota Lyme Fighters Advocacy and our website is www.lymefighters.com, which is still under construction. We are both on disability, but, utilize our time educating the public and providing information to learn more. We are very passionate about this mission and would like any help or info on new research, tests, treatments and the list goes on. Any help that you could provide to us would be priceless.

My phone #952-217-5946 and my sister lives in Brainerd and can be contacted at #218-534-2992

Thank you, so much, for acknowledging a disease that has debilitated our lives.

Hello :) I also have Lyme Disease & have been disabled for quite some time. Ironically, I am trying to create a website called lymefighters as well. Now that I see it's taken, I'll just try again :)
The reason I'm writing is because I was wondering how to get a website sponsored or syndicated, so I can avoid any monthly fees. (It's hard enough just getting disability payment, I'm sure you know)So basically if you aren't paying for your site, email me ONLY if you have time. If I dont hear from you, Good luck with your site! & If you want some extra resources for Lyme info, feel free to email.
~God Bless
