Yet another pointless loss of life from this wickedly underdiagnosed, undertreated and almost universally underestimated disease. Lyme is not a minor ailment or an inconvenience, folks; it's AIDS on steroids, and the epidemic is spreading faster than you can possibly imagine.
Today tears are falling on broken hearts all over the Lyme Community as we mourn the loss of Erin Spillers, 29 years old, who died suddenly at home yesterday. Erin was a sweet, young woman who had just found love with her new boyfriend of nearly two months, Buddy. She had been struggling and suffering with Lyme Disease for a long time. Today she is with Jesus, free from pain and suffering. Rest peacefully, sweet friend. ♥
