I'm sad to say that I still have not received as many stories as I would like. I may push back the deadline a month or so. I really want people to *see* what Lyme patients go through. My own story is such a mess and I plan on writing about every little tidbit of it. But I need more then just my own story. I need yours.
I'm sorry I am not financially able to give you something for the gift of your story. If I could I would. And if this book is successfull I will give back, at the very least a free copy to everyones story that is included. I will be giving back to the Lyme community by donating money to an organization or setting up a fund for Lyme patients who need help with supplements, meds, or Docs. It's so expensive and I feel like that is the best way to give back. Research is important of course. But if we can't get the treatment we need now then it won't matter what the research finds years down the road, we might now be here anymore.
I plan on getting even more into activism after this book is down. I'm going to write GA officals, the local newspapers-anyone I can to get the word out there about this awful, misdiagnosed, hidden epidemic/disease.
Please help me make this book a success. I am really looking for stories of people being misdiagnosed. I would love a story about a patient who was misdiagnosed only to find out it was really Lyme. I want people who have fibro, MS, Lupus, ALS, whatever to read this book and think "Oh man, could this be Lyme?"
I think of people in my past who have had MS, or fibro and I wish there was a way I could get ahold of them and say hey just for shits and giggles get tested for Lyme, and see what happens. One lady's life was totally destroyed emotionally because of "MS", she didn't fit the mold. Doctor's didn't really *know* why she had MS. Very young lady at the time...I wonder.
Anyway y'all help me out please!!!! Stories can be emailed to Lymebook@yahoo.com. Or you can find me on Lymenet.org as littlebit27. Thanks all who have contributed.

The photo above was taken by me in my backyard. One of the photos I will be using. *****IF YOU HAVE A PHOTO YOU WOULD LIKE INCLUDED PLEASE EMAIL IT TO ME, WITH PERMISSION TO USE IT, KNOWLEDGE YOU ARE NOT RECEIVING ANYTHING IN RETURN AT THE MOMENT, AND A PROMISE THAT IT HAS NEVER BEEN PUBLISHED BEFORE. I AM ESPECIALLY INTERESTED IN BEFORE AND AFTER PICS OF LYME AND ***TICKS***. I WANT PICTURES OF TICKS FROM STATES WHERE "LYME DOESN'T LIVE"*****
Thanks!
