I have been in a rough stressful situation for the past week. I found out that my friend Nicole has Chronic Lyme Disease and it's a serious disease. She told me that she used to go up to a doctor in Wisconsin and had to pay $500 each time to get her medications but 2 months ago her doctor got shut down(treatment of Lyme Disease is highly controversial) so now she has only 2 months worth of medication left. The disease has left her with 20/100 vision and she says that it's slowly destroying her brain and body. I'm so scared for her and i don't know what to do or say. Plus now she is trying to find a new doctor and the only one she found is all the way in Connecticut but it will cost $500 for her to start off. Plus she says she's nobody in school and she sometimes drinks on the weekends. She's also only 16!!!
It is so sad when things happen to people like this. So much pain and suffering going on in the world. I hope your friend can find relief and things work out for her.
Maybe if someone wrote media. News can change things fast. It election time. I e-mailed my Congress Man. His aid called me last year. Problem fixed right away.
Poor lass being so young and having to endure this terrible illness. I hope things work out for her and that there's something that will help her out of her present situation.
