It's great to see people sharing their stories and experiences with Lyme disease, especially regarding mental health. And the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine sounds like a fantastic resource for anyone struggling with a difficult diagnosis. Speaking of mental health, have you heard about the work being done to support first responders? I found this link that might be helpful: https://restore-mentalhealth.com/first-responder-mental-health-care/. We must take care of our mental health, and I'm glad that resources are available to support those who need them.
