All I ask is you watch this movie for about 5 minutes, because I know it is long. Some of you may not know this, but I have Lymes disease that was confirmed back in July. They think the whole disease started out as Lymes and over time has manifested itself as Rheumatoid Arthritis. Below is a video I wanted to keep documented for myself. It explains a lot of how I feel and similarities of what I have gone through. About the first 5 minutes there is a girl who is very similar to how I am. Her name is Mandy with blonde hair. I am worse in my movements. Sometimes I can't move at all. The other difference with Mandy is the disease affected her speech where mine is not. Lymes disease can manifest in different ways. Luckily my brain is not affected and I am not a quadraplegic. My doctor is also at the end of this video. His name is Dr. Klinghardt in Kirkland, Washington. He is about 45:45 into the video.

That movie was so interesting and helped me understand so much more the severity of this chronic illness. I am amazed at your strength, you a magnificent person, with an amazing purpose!
