“Yes, I lost hair.

I, too, went to bed fearing I wouldn’t wake up tomorrow.

And, yes, I also felt unseen and unheard.

You are not Alone.

I am a Lyme warrior, five years into remission, with a calling to help others to feel a little less scared and alone.

Like so many, I went undiagnosed and misdiagnosed for twenty plus years. The one diagnosis that stuck was the incurable, chronic illness, fibromyalgia. Over the next twenty years, my symptoms spread to nearly every organ system in my body. Once I started treatment, uncertainty and isolation wrapped itself around me.

I was surrounded by a sea of unknowns, drifting in a boat of despondency. Pain, fear, and suffering bounced off my boat like a thousand tiny rain drops, saturating every waking moment. Uncertainty swallowed me up. I wondered constantly if anyone else was experiencing what I was experiencing.

Five years into remission, reflecting upon what makes treating Lyme disease so scary, I realize it’s the uncertainty. The not knowing. The silence and loneliness that envelop this disease.

That is why I share my experiences, creating a safe space for all you amazing warriors. It is why I wrote my memoir and why I continue to share about what I went through on my blog. I want to hold the hand of as many Lyme patients as I can, wrap you all in a warm blanket and run a hot bath for you. Keep fighting my friends. You can reach remission!”

According to Doctor Rawls your biggest obstacle combating is not necessarily what you may think… it’s much more than treating the infections!

This past week, Yolanda Hadid—once a fixture in the fashion world, now a Lyme advocate and mother to internationally acclaimed model Bella Hadid—shared a deeply personal message on Instagram that struck a chord with countless families in the Lyme community.

For those of us who’ve watched our children suffer profoundly from tick-borne illness, her words are achingly familiar.”

“Watching my Bella struggle in silence has cut the deepest core of hopelessness inside me,” she wrote.

“The invisible disability of chronic neurological Lyme disease is hard to explain or understand for anyone. I try to lead by example on our Lyme journey, but my own pain cannot compare to watching my baby suffer.”

𝐁𝐄 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐄 while you’re with your family outdoors in this warmer weather‼️

Per new data from the CDC, Emergency rooms nationwide are reporting a record-breaking increase in tick bite cases.

According to Director of the University of Rhode Island’s Center for Vector-Borne Disease and its TickEncounter Resource Center, Dr. Thomas Mather, and Dr. Tom Daniels. July 2025 is already surpassing previous highs set in 2017.

With ticks being so plentiful right now, they both have said that it’s likely that more people will end up getting sick from tick-borne infections. Lyme disease is still the top concern when it comes to tick bites, but note that ticks can transmit other pathogens as well.
