May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month



May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month.
If you don't have a Lime Green pin or ribbon, get one. We need to get the word out that LYME DISEASE IS A PROBLEM!!!!


Wanna make a bigger impact, buy a Lyme Disease shirt! People will surely stop and ask about your shirt that says Lyme is a four letter word!
This shirt can be purchased by clicking the picture of the shirt. The person who created this shirt is (obviously) affected by Lyme. Go to her blog to see other designs for shirts, buttons and other assorted items.


Print off flyers and information about Lyme Disease and pass them around doctor's offices, legislative buildings and even people you see that ask you about your shirts and ribbons.


People KNOW that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Make an IMPACT on Lyme Disease. Make people Aware that Lyme Disease exists and it is a Chronic Illness. Make people aware that it imitates other illnesses and the controversy surrounding treatment and test results.

I will post this blog many times prior to May 1st so that everyone has a chance to change the world's perception of Lyme Disease.

Tie a Lime Green Ribbon on your Car or Tree during the month of May. Post these pictures on your blog to show your support for Lyme Disease patients!

Thanks for the link! I will try to post our Lyme Awareness efforts soon. My mom had open heart surgery and there have been many complications. She has been in ICU since 4/16 so I am afraid May is getting away from me before I really get to do anything about LYME DISEASE! Blessings!
