You Don't Have to Suffer Alone
Having a complex illness like Lyme disease—one that’s not recognized within the medical community or understood by friends and family members—can be hard to face by yourself. Especially when you’re already fighting a battle inside your own body. An estimated 1200 suicides take place each year in the U.S. due to Lyme and associated diseases.
But you don’t have to suffer alone.
