I met other Lymeys in person for the first time
I finally made it to one of those Lyme Association meetings. It was hard to see others in person. It is not same as reading or even connecting online. They are right there next to you. You can see their emotions as they speak about their struggles. Listening to them […]

Dear insomnia, Even though I’ve met you back then, I didn’t know you this well. You didn’t take a big role in my life. You would come and visit on and off. I have to be honest I liked you better then. Now, I just resent you for taking over […]
Road trip
