I second Dana here. AI bots are grabbing the #Lyme narrative from biased sources with financial interests in Lyme vaccines/tests & chronic disease treatments. Borrelias (like Lyme) have been around a long time, but the Cold War military was mixing viruses and Borrelias inside of

Over the Holiday's I was in and out of the hospital because of complications from the #Lyme. I am alway's shocked @ how little is known both from doctors & nurses, though nurses seem to be more informed. Point being, it starts at the top!... And we need compassion, not evil!

One of major #Lyme neuro Dr.s who has studied #Lymedisease neurological & psychiatric symptoms of years has discussed these symptoms: Difficulty finding words, short term Memory loss, geographic disorientation, numbness, pain, weakness, visual disturbances...ect. This is #Lyme

I am no Dr. of any sense, so I really don't know the mechanics or workings of the brain that shut off regarding short term memory, But I've alway's wanted to do a #Lyme lost and found cartoon! Ever loose a pair of glasses, only to fine you've been holding them?๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š

How many times must we hear, nothing...normal, things look good! #Lyme was made to look good...or look like nothing at all...and there is lies the "it's all in your head!" They perfected the invisible stealth illness...though hopefully we will be seen for anything but "normal!"

Too many people still don't understand #Lymedisease & the dangers much less the weaponizing of ticks & the history, but many in the #Lyme community know thanks especially to K.N. & the book "Bitten." Thanks also to J.M. for the book "Australian Lyme Crimes the Global Disgrace.

With the exception of an old cartoon of Noah throwing two ticks off the Ark, I've never ventured into religion. But if one explores the Bible or other religious books Ticks are mentioned, thus my thought on this issue. #Ticks #Lymedisease #chronicillness

Not only is Otzi the oldest remains of a human found with #Lyme but the fact that he had brown eyes, was lactose intolerant, and predisposed to heart disease tells me that some very delicate testing was applied!? I have to also wonder what was added to Lyme w/weaponization

I found this guy Jesse Ruben on TikTok & loved this song. I told him "This Song Hit Big Time" as I thought either about a relationship or illness...He wrote back "#Lyme is the fng worst!" If you listen to the words my guess is you'll understand. tiktok.com/@jesserubenmusโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ’š

David Skidmore Jesse Ruben Greetings, there is an idea for an inexpensive medical startup associated with Lyme disease, which can be made an educational project in parallel. He himself received borreliosis eight years ago with a tick bite.

I know little of this beyond just reading, Iโ€™m wondering if anyone in the #Lyme community knows anything more? Perhaps Alex you can expound? Very interesting.

Despite you're faith, given tomorrow one of my favorite songs & the Holiday. Again, given your faith and what you hold onto, my faith is best described in this song. What ever you're faith, hold on too that faith. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ™ youtube.com/watch?v=sIaT8Jโ€ฆ

Perhaps it is I who has lost touch but it just seems back in 2012-13 there was so much more #Lyme advocation, obviously as per the picture this was the "I am one of the 300,000" I remember the blanket, even the shoes we had to write on & went to an advocacy group at the CDC. ๐Ÿ’š

I'm seeing more and more posts about the biological work that was done on #Ticks & #Lymedisease Just tonight I was looking through my messages from Dr. Grier who we all miss dearly๐Ÿ’š and found this that he sent me in 2022, I don't recall it, but recalling anything is a challenge!

Over the yrs. Lyme loonies has used humor to advocate for #Lymedisease I am not sugar coating this one but rather showing the severity of what a #Tick bite can do to one. Thankfully she is doing well & living life. I want to thank she & her mother for letting me use this. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ™

Long before ร–tzi the Iceman, researchers found evidence of Borrelia, the bacteria that causes #Lyme disease, in fossilized ticks preserved in amber. Specifically, fossilized ticks found in 15-20 million-year-old amber from the Dominican Republic contained Borrelia-like bacteria.

Beyond climate change you well know sir that birds, "trains planes & automobiles" ticks have made the rounds to find their next meal & have spread far and wide also in part of the medical agencies & neglect of #Lyme And no, Joe Rogan was spot on! Remember "Operation Mongoose?"
