The Lyme Spot is about having Lyme: living with it, putting up with it, embracing it, damning it, figuring it out, not figuring it out, but most of all...it's about community. I will be sharing my experience, my feelings, and all the things I know that help me get through my days and keep me feeling positive, or at the very least keep me alive! But please, also come here to share your experiences, feelings and all the things you know. Together, we can get through anything...

The Healing Compassion of Father Michael Bassano

"The spirit of compassion goes beyond language, culture, tradition...and makes us one with all living beings." -- Father Michael Bassano


We with Lyme disease know what it is to be sick. We know what it is to fall ill and not get better. We know what it is to be abandoned. I look at the patients in this video and I know some of what they go through. It's true, I don't know what it's like to be almost dead from AIDS. I don't know what that is like because the physical effects of AIDS are different than those of Lyme. What I do know is what it's like to be bedridden. I know what it's like to be written off by family, to be abandoned and have no one.
