Since my mysterious stuff started almost a year ago, I have been scared. Scared I'm going to die. Scared I have something that no one can diagnose. Scared that I will be sick for the rest of my life.
But today I am not scared.
This is the first flare up in nearly a year where I have accepted the symptoms, been able to calmly acknowledge what's happening, and not panic.
It's the first time I've had chest pain and not thought, all of those EKGs can't be wrong and yet I still feel like I'm going to have a heart attack.
As strange as it sounds to others, I am relieved to have Lyme. And I am relieved to have a name to go with it.

- Knowledge is power. If you understand the terrain and have a map, it does really help a lot in co-existing with symptoms during the healing process. -
