Lyme Alert Greece and more...

Since that "August-from-hell" ended and I finally had my IGeneX results back, I started feeling a little better (mood-wise)! So I slowly began to built that Page on Facebook for Lyme awareness in Greece. That Page has been on my mind for a long time now. It just "hit" me suddenly one day while I was trying to figure out WHY me?...Why did I, had to go through ALL THIS? Well, I guess my mind answered with this idea: I had to live this, I had to go through all this suffering, because I was the one who could make something big out of it!

As my fb-friend Mel says "If I can bring one child back from a misdiagnosis of MS. Or a elderly back from a misdiagnosis of Alzheimers'. Or a ball player back from a misdiagnosis of ALS. Or a banker back from a misdiagnosis of Lupus. Or that student back to a real life from a misdiagnosis of Autism. Or that honor student back from a misdiagnosis of ADHD... I will have accomplished my goal". This is my goal too. This fb-Page is only the beginning. If I manage to survive and heal, I will do a lot more. I have it all planned in my mind already!...For now, all I can do is translating articles in Greek, posting links and asking people to suggest my Page to others. A friend asked me the other day "is it worth it?", when I told him to invite people...Yes, I think is totally worth it. Because maybe one of your friends might have a friend who has a friend with a misdiagnosed case...And maybe he/she can look a little further being aware of Lyme and be saved. It is worth it...Definitely!!

You can see a Like-box to my Page here, on the right side-bar of the blog. I also added a Twitter box just for fun, since I am very active on Twitter lately, twitting on behalf of my dog Pepe :P
Well, it's not ALL about disease...That's why we (Pepe actually) are ALSO on Blip http://blip.fm/Lord_Pepington daily dj-ing and talking to more people :)) Fun!!

B back soon!

  1. It certainly DOES worth it. I have sent it to everyone I know. I will send a reminder again. You are doing a great job Georgia with the blog and the FB page.

    And remember. The day that you will be able to leave all this behind will come. And it may come sooner than you think.

  2. I commend you for actively participating in this awareness campaign. I agree that this fight is worth it, because there are too many cases of misdiagnoses around the world. And while most people might blame the medical professionals for it, there are instances that patients are partly the reason why the symptoms are misdiagnosed, or it was diagnosed too late.
