Today, my first long-form essay went live on Ravishly. I was nervous and scared to write this piece, and I was flooded with an unexpected range of emotions. How could I write about the most challenging and dark time in my life? Well, I persevered, chipping away at the piece over a two-week period. I am very proud to say I did it! I was able to share my story and a story that mirrors the lives of so many other Lyme patients. I’m so proud to have accomplished this, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading it and find some hope in the story.
A big thank you to Ravishly for allowing me to write this cathartic piece!

Ruth is awesome! She helped my family and I immensely. After years of talking to her over the phone I finally got to meet her and thank her in person. She is brilliant and kind. Your story is truly touching. I am so happy you are getting better. I wish you the best in your future treatment and life. It gets better.
Thank you so much! I’m hoping to one day meet her in person as well. And, I’ll be giving her the biggest hug EVER!
