Hi All! Thanks for inviting me to your group. First of all I want to
apologize for the screen name, it was from way back when we though that
kind of stuff was funning in middle school. My name is Leah and I am 19
years old. I am going to college to be an Electroneurodiagnostic Tech
and I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease in July 08'. I was unknowingly
bit by a tick at Eastern Ave Disc Golf course in June. At first I
thought it was a mosquito bite, but it grew and grew and turned into
the "bullseye" rash. The doctors diagnosed me with Lyme and started me
on my antibodic. I haven't had the stiffness or felt bad in awhile, but
I still do have a mark where the tick bit me. I am going back into the
doctor soon to make sure everything is clear. In the past 5 years I
have gone through cervical cancer and now lyme disease. My motto is to
apperiate life and everything it has to offer. Never let the disease
control you, you control the disease. I look forward to chatting with
everyone on here and get support from others as well as give support.
Have a wonderful day!
