Hi! This is for my lyme thread to help spread awareness about lyme, share a bit of my own struggles and a glimpse of some of my life obstacles, and let others know how serious late stage lyme can be for us.

I'll be doing semi-regular giveaways, and there are some really kind users from my whitelist who are donating more giveaways to hopefully give the thread more exposure, but most people don't even bother to bump, even after they won a giveaway.... It's kind of sad, but I will keep up my work, no matter what.
Check back and bump often!

No offense meant here, I've had friends and family members battle cancer and survive, and some that died from cancer, but people treat cancer patients in a different light, and people have a certain mentality when they hear somebody has this, but it's usually short-term, ending in death, or recovery back to near normal or normal health again. Diseases like lyme are much worse, and nobody really cares. People ignore me and think I am capable of doing anything, my government could care less and it only gives very little for people in my condition. I wish there were more kindness out there for people suffering with TERMINAL DISEASES, LIKE LYME. People need to know, and there needs to be more funding for people with lyme, and more programs to get us the care we need, and have a life of much less suffering, instead of adding to our problems with uncaring attitudes, very little help or support from the community, and no hopes for cures in the near future. The pain is constant. The feeling of a flu (called malaise) is constant. The fatigue is like working a 168 hour week (yes, every single minute of lyme is like feeling the hardest labor a healthy person could imagine - I know because I was healthy once, doing manual labor at times).

Some days are better, those better days are still worse than my worst day when I used to be very very healthy, and a fitness freak. No more 5 minute miles for me on the track, or through the woods (that was my favorite way to go).

tl:dr - lyme is devastating. I want to spread some awareness. I, and others, will do giveaways here and there, so check back and bump often! There will probably always be at least something up on the thread to be given away.

MOST OF ALL, PLEASE DO NOT THANK ME HERE, BUT, BUMP MY THREAD AS THANKS!
