#GoingLimeForLyme

Yes I like the hashtag thing, it's fun, I think I'm going to use it whenever I find a cause or foundation I want to support.  Anywho, for those of you who don't know (which is probably none of you), my sister has Lyme's Disease which is a very debilitating and frustrating tick-born illness.  She recently started a new blog getting the info out on Lyme's and spreading awareness.  If you all could take a moment and at least glance at it, please do, if not, here is a snippet:

Lyme disease is known as “the second Great Imitator” for this very reason. It appears in each person differently and affects them differently as the bacteria progresses in their system. For me, it has attacked my nervous system, including my brain and my heart. Pain is something I have grown accustomed to, but I refuse to let it stop me.
