Hello fellow Lymies, I've been reading the posts about citruslyme, and know others are in need...
I don't know why this didn't dawn on me earlier (probably the neuro problems), but there's a website called Live for the Challenge ( liveforthechallenge.com ) that is a registry for "everyone wo is currently struggling with medical difficulties."
Basically, those who register, pick out things that they need to survive, and people come around, read about you and your needs, and donate what they can. The perk to this is that people know exactly what you need.
The founder of this site is Diem, from Real World Road Rules Challange: Fresh Meat. She struggled with Ovarian Cancer, and wanted to help others. I'm from the MTV generation, and the first time I heard about Lyme Disease was when Irene had to leave Real World Seattle (my home town) because of the disease. I thought it was really cool that Diem was able to think something like this up. Check it out.
Additionally, I read something about Lynn needing a PICC line. If that happens, I have a ton of unused IV tubing and dressing change kits (the little, expensive stuff that can be donated.) I live in Virginia Beach and the BF and I are willing to bring it up. We were going to donate the supplies to a church, but if Lynn can use it, we'd rather it go to her.
-------------------- Sometimes when I say �Oh, I�m fine� I want someone to look me in the eyes & say �tell the truth�
May I suggest you copy your post to TREEPATROL'S NEWBIE LINKS, and he can add it in there.
Also, MINOUCAT has a disability link in tree's ... found half way thru there but has LOTS OF OTHER STUFF also. If you find her link, please add your important info there too.
Thanks so much for thinking of others needs, and coming up with a great solution! Bettyg
