My heart sank. The Lyme and Bartonella community had lost another bright light. The news shook me and triggered a sadness I hadn’t felt in months. If you’ve lived through a traumatic experience, you understand triggers. I planned to write about recovering from trauma and triggers this week. Still, I’ve put it aside until next week to pause, honor, and remember three exceptional patient advocates in the Lyme, Bartonella, and MCAS communities, one of whom lost her battle with this insidious disease last week.
I have never heard about this disease before reading your article or I may have but didn't wish to put an attention to it but after reading your article, I have added the books which you have recommended and will gain more knowledge. My condolences to the family of the deceased friends :(
Not enough words to convey my thoughts. I know Jake, Alex, and Dr. Spector will be tucked in the hearts of many. Big time massive (((hugs))) - so hard to say goodbye to the special ones, til next time is so much better to ease the pain.
Tracy, very nice remembrance of these victims to the curse of Lyme Disease. Hopefully, their story, and the many others who have and are suffering, will not be in vain; but rather serve as an inspiration to all to continue the fight and never give up hope.

Thank you Tracy! Your tributes to Jake, Alex, and Dr. Spector are beautiful. Your post is educational and passionate.
Thank you Tracy for this sharing. I am pausing with you to remember. ♡
