Thank you social media for world-wide awareness

Anyone who knows me well, is aware that I didn't use social media.  I am an old school girl that prefers to talk on the phone, write a letter, or visit in person.  Sure I have a Linkedin account, but that was for my career and business networking.   In the last few months a few celebrities shared their Lyme journey.  Their stories were poignant and rather hard to read - some of their Lyme experiences mimicked what Heather was dealing with.   It was then that I realized how necessary it was for anyone affected by this terrible disease to share their experience. Each journey is different, but if my blog helps one person, than I feel that I have been successful.  

I have shared my blog on Linkedin, and Heather has shared it on her Facebook page.  In the 24 hours that my blog has been live, it has been read by people in the United Sates, Ireland, United Kingdom, Vietnam, Australia, Russia, India, Canada, Hungary and Israel.  

I am humbled.  Please feel free to share this blog with anyone.  I am by no means an expert, but I am determined to help educate and share Heather's journey. 

Did you know Lyme disease was first recognized in the United States in 1975 after an unusual outbreak of arthritis near Lyme, Connecticut.
