You will beat this one day ... you and all these other teens in the video will make things better for those who follow us .... the future won't be so bleak for those with Lyme.

Victoria,
That was heart breaking and so true.
My two young children who also have Lyme watched with me and
Were amazed to see all of the other "kids" big and small with Lyme too.
Can this video be sent to our legislatures?
You really did a fantastic job.
Keep up the great work and positive attitude.
You made me realize things that I took for granted
Like going to a prom, high school and other extra-curricular activities.
Hugs,
Geneal

Vic,
First utube vid I watched in a LONG time. My slow dial up takes an hour to load one!!
But I did just for you,,,it was "G-R-E-A-T",,as Tony the Tiger would say.
Your too young to know who that was but a force in MY day!!
I think you have an aspiring talent in THIS area,,,dont give it up!!!
AND "YOU" will make a difference!!! The world NEEDS more great young people as yourself!!remaining--just don--

Excellent, Victoria - I cried all the way through it! I had a normal younger life and this is just preposterous what kids or anyone are having to go through now. The only consolation I can think of is it'll make everyone wise beyond their years.

Vic that is excellent...I just realized that you're vic from the chatroom and I guess I wasn't there when you announced this project.
Also you have a great career in store if you make full use of your talent when you get well, as I'm sure you will.

The more we all keep making noise the better people will listen. We all need to do as much as we can to bring attention to the many issues we face with this disease. It was really beautiful too. Stay Strong!!!!!!!! Stacy

Victoria, 5 star video; OUTSTANDING!! very effective for a short video; alot of food for thought.
Please thank your friends also for participating viewing each of their stories.
Victoria, there were 2 screens with text in that did NOT pop up and stay there to be read at all. Any possibility of fixing that to add MORE to your already impressive 1st time video! BRAVO BRAVO!!
Can you tell me what they said; seemed to be on a grey brick top background; it was gone in 1 second on both areas, and same background. Thanks.
FYI, I'd received an email about your video but hadn't had time to watch it, and then again it was MENTIONED in Alexandra's CARING BRIDGE sight, so I watched it there and then 2 other short ones aired on tv.
Alex is our 14-yr. old Iowan who is DYING and who was perfectly healthy 2 yrs. ago; no one can decide what she has since she's been on a respirator for over 1 year!
so your site is getting around internationally; well done by friend!
Keep up the good work, and MORE videos to come!

thank you again, great work......
have a easy symptom free day.... mtree
