Breaking The Ice!

[Cherry Darling]

Well, I guess its time for me to grow a pair & introduce myself! Came upon this site by pure accident & am so glad I did. Just reading everyone's posts has been very helpful & informative. This seems like a very close-knit community of ppl who trust & look out for each other... I cant wait to be a part of that! About me: 32yrs young, work hard, raise my 2 awesome boys & just a very chill, laid-back, happy-go-lucky kind of person. I have my daily struggles, but hey!... dont we all?! I just try to keep my head up eith everything that comes my way. I have Chronic Lyme Disease. I contracted it 14yrs ago when I was living in New York. It took doctors 8yrs to finally find a diagnosis & tell me what was happening with me. I live out west now, so most docs out here are extremely inexperienced with treating Lyme Disease, especially in my situation where the symptoms have turned into a chronic condition. I have what the medical profession refers to as "Reoccuring Lyme Disease Syndrome". This will be my 3rd round of treatment coming up in the next few days I have recieved for Lyme Disease in the past 6 years. Treatment consists of having a pic-line inserted into my heart so I can recieve intravenious anti-biotics... its not that fun, but it is what it is. Living with Chronic Lyme isn't that awesome as it has caused major havoc on my central nervous system. The pain in unbearable at times to say the least. I just want to have a better quality of life & to be able to enjoy it to the fullest. That is why I am so grateful to have found this site. I have already learned so much & look forward to learning more & getting to know the ppl on here better. Thanks for letting me ramble on a little bit here!... I hope this long-ass post did not put you to sleep! Thanks again!
