The fog is lifting

[alee_grrl]

So I'm done with finals (whew!) and after days of sleep and nothing much else the brain fog is starting to lift. So hopefully I'll get back to being a little more active on my blog and in my communities. :)

Apparently May is Lyme Awareness Month.

A surprising (to me at least, as it acknowledges Chronic Lyme Disease even though the CDC says they aren't sure it exists) article by Chuck Norris on Lyme Disease. It is part 1 of a 3 part series. The other parts have not been posted yet.

I had never really considered wearing t-shirts and other things about an illness I have, but I found a whole bunch that I love over at zazzle.

Thanks for the links, I never realized how uninformed I was about this disease <3

It's not a disease that gets a lot of attention, though that may be changing as more and more people get diagnosed. Until a good friend of mine was diagnosed in the mid-2000s I had thought it only a minor illness that one could get from a tick. Boy was I wrong. The things I've learned since my own diagnosis last summer have astounded me, and I am always surprised that this info isn't more accessible. Thankfully there are more and more groups working to raise awareness on Lyme so the materials are finally getting out there.
