The fibromyalgia I've had for 32 years was an undiagnosed Lyme symptom.

Well, I don't FEEL green anymore (maybe some asparagus stuck on my tooth)... but I will always have a green heart.

I am doing my best (& busy too) to make changes for the lyme community. I am a fighter and I am fighting for all of us!

Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is the organism that causes "walking pneumonia."


pneumonia = noo-MOW-nyuh

pneumoniae = noo-MOHN-ee-ay


If you're talking about having the condition, you can say pneumonia.
How many people walk around saying the Latin names for things...if they do, how many people know enough about it to understand what they're saying.
