"The Spoon Theory"

This is how many must choose to live each day! If too much is done in one day...It will be 'paid' for in the following days or even a week or more trying to catch up!
This is what it feels like to have a Chronic Illness.

My best friend and I were in the diner, talking. Like normal girls our age, we spent a lot of time in the diner while in college, and most of the time we spent talking about boys, music or trivial things, that seemed very important at the time. We never got serious about anything in particular and spent most of our time laughing.

Lyme Disease

This page provides an overview with basic information about Lyme disease.

What is Lyme disease?

Lyme disease is an infectious disease that is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), which is a spirally shaped type of bacterium that is called a spirochete. In 1981 researcher Willy Burgdorfer discovered this new bacterium in ticks (bloodsucking parasites), a bacterium belonging to the genus Borrelia.

The bacterium was named Borrelia burgdorferi after its discoverer. Not long after its discovery it was also established that Borrelia burgdorferi is the cause of Lyme disease, a disease recognized around the town Old Lyme, Connecticut, in the Unites States of America in the 1970s by researcher Allen Steere. The medical name is Lyme borreliosis. So the name "Lyme" origins from the name of a town, not a name of a doctor or researcher. In German language they use the name Borreliose.
