Let Me Introduce Myself
Thank you for coming to my site. I thought you might want to know who I am. My name is Devin and I am 15 years old. I live in Northwest New Jersey. Lyme has affected my life since I was a year old. That is when my dad fist got sick. Luckily, he had a bulls eye, but he was not treated long enough. A couple of years later my mother and brother got sick as well. It took three years for them to be properly diagnosed. I was eleven when I first got sick. I started to have panic attacks and was unable to sleep. Even with all of our background knowledge of Lyme, my mother was unable to tell that I had it. Luckily for us, we have an outstanding Lyme specialist that we travel three hours to see. We are all now off medication and doing well. In all these years, I have noticed that nothing has changed in what the majority of people know about Lyme. There is still a major controversy within the medical community on how to diagnose and treat it. This is the main reason why I made this site because we need to protect ourselves against a very painful and misunderstood disease. I hope that you find my site very informative and helpful. I would appreciate it if you would help me reach my goal of 1,500 signatures in my guestbook by the end of May.
Devin
