Bhavani Esapathi the genius behind Chronically Driven, winner of the Wired Creative Hack Awards 2015, for creative solutions in social health talks about rising above limitations with chronic disorders, Crohn's for her, to live life the way it should be live with Aaron and Sarah in LymeVoice  024th episode. She is a Fellow of The Royal Society for the Arts and a TedX Speaker, an accomplished writer and an active participant with innovations on everything digital while doing some work on cultural management & communications for the past 5 years. Crohn's is an incurable chronic autoimmune disorder with hard hard-hitting symptoms that patients have to put up with, just as Bhavani had for as long as she can remember. Adding to the confusions caused by debilitating chronic issues since childhood she was being repeatedly told she’s not supposed to have Crohns because she is Asian, when she finally decided to find her correct diagnosis using every resource available to her. The adversities she had faced in her quest for her diagnosis and treatment, she knows were not hers alone and she is aware that these adversities have solutions. Finding these solutions and providing easy access to them to people with invisible chronic conditions became her advocacy, she had rallied the limitations Crohn's has delivered to her and had risen above them to become an accomplished writer, motivational speaker and chronic disabilities resource person for those who want success despite debilitating chronic issues.   What’s In This Episode   Fight Her Health Issues Continuously Bhavani had a lively and colorful childhood with her loving family, despite being protected too much and slowed down by illness. Her past chronic experiences with her unnamed illness fortified rather than take away from her feistiness. She was always a dreamer, and she envisions a world where people don’t have to suffer unnecessarily under nameless ills because Doctors and other health professionals don’t or won’t take their symptoms at face value. She has to fight for her health and she also has to fight for acceptance of her sickness by other people which should not be the case. Her parents always believe in her and their positive upbringing had propelled her to accomplish her success milestones and brought her to where she is now, still with her health issues and more.   Heal - Finding A Point   Being given enough space and not interfering with what she wants to do had made her evolved into herself gradually and in her own pace, and it let her found her footing. She believed what her parents had told her that she is special and she’s going to become great and that made finding healing easy for her. People believing she can rise above her limitations and not justify every task or move she does are inspiring her to go on and find a better self.   Live Proactively While Learning To Hustle Within A New Normal   Chronically Driven her website was conceptualized as a form of catharsis not only for her but also for a lot of other people. It is designed as a unique platform where people who are willing to share their stories can come and tell narratives of their plight with different invisible chronic conditions to inform people or to provide support to those who are also suffering. It’s been a year since her website was up and she can actually see her objectives being realized because different people respond to her positively when they found her website. She knows she can empower herself and others too in finding healing by restructuring their life around their limitations which she has done and continue to do while dealing with different issues as they come up. Sometimes her issues work in her favor, giving her additional advantage and inspire her (in her words) to hustle and that’s what she’s working so hard to impart. She invites everybody to tell their stories with one of her favorite life’s quote “Those who tell stories, rule the society” – Plato.   Don't Forget to Vote for Bhavani! Voting ends Jan 25! http://blogawardsuk.co.uk/ukba2016/my-entry/chronically-driven   Check out her new Sight! www.theinvisiblelabs.com   Congratulations To Bhavani Esapathi, 2015 Creative Hack Winner!!   Creative Hack Award     Quotes: “If you want to be then do.” Jim Ron   Contact Info: Bhavani’s Website: Chronically Driven Bhavani’s Twitter: @bhaesa Chronically Driven Facebook Page: Chronically Driven @Facebook Sarah Schlichte Sanchez(Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/sarah.s.sanchez.1 Aaron Sanchez   https://www.facebook.com/aaron.sanchez.9480111?fref=ts

Matthew McSpadden is LymeVoice.com’s 023 Podcast Episode’s guest. The big hearted man behind DoOverLife with Grief talks with Sarah and Aaron about overcoming grief, his grief that at one time had him contained in a tight spot, which made him feel helpless and totally lost. He was thankful for that particular grief though, and for it to had come at that particular period. It made him what he is today; stronger, wiser and more warmhearted towards those who matter in his life and he is loving the kind of person he has become. His grief was caused by traumas which made him a fighter and he thinks it made him a socially appropriate person too. His experience made him discover that saying the right words at the right time can mean so much in nudging a person to acknowledge or rather to recognize their grief, support their healing process and affirm them in their recovery. It made him magnanimous with words of encouragement and he is working hard on bringing that to a worthier level with his up and coming Episode Podcasts at DOOVERLIFE. He was a Math teacher in a Public School and his grief and traumas had impacted his profession greatly. He lost it, together with a few of his dreams. However he is making sure by working hard on his ongoing overcoming grief mission that he wins what he had lost back. What’s in this episode: Matthew’s Griefs - Gaining Disability, Losing Disability Matthew’s trauma was not caused by disease and not by Lyme at any length, but by physical and emotional misfortunes; the physical one was unintentional; a near fatal stroke 2 years after he lost his brother while he was playing football. And then after that he faced another one. It was an emotional trauma that could have been the end result of the underlying physical distresses he was experiencing at that time caused by his stroke. His divorce at a very young age was a major emotional upheaval which made everything cave in for him. He lost all interest with everything that’s going on around him and in his life. Like any person who had gone through grief Matt had also fallen into the throes of depression. Not the suicidal type, but more of the “I lost interest with anything that’s going on in my life” kind. There were so much going on inside him, physically, emotionally and psychologically that he found small talk at gatherings of friends or family distasteful. What he badly wanted then to hear were some sympathetic words that will help him to properly place everything into context or label his confusions. But it were not so. Then something woke him up from his stupor and made him reach out to his loved ones. It was in kind an indirect plea for help. He was glad those people in his life who had remained by his side all through his ordeal were mindful enough of his welfare. They promptly acted and had saved him from totally going over. He was glad it was not too late when final realization came. That no one is going to help him get out from the hellhole he was slowly burrowing into but himself. There was a kind of trigger occurrence that brought about that most opportune jolt. It partially ended his FIGHT story. Learning To Rise Above His Grief Everything happened for some reasons and, he had recovered and had risen up from the morass for a few reasons of his own too. And he knows just as traumas and grief differ in severity and causes; reasons for healing and recovering from grief and trauma also varies. He is for people to seek what can make them fight and seek out healing themselves because what works with somebody might not work with them at all. His was reading self-help books, and it reinforced what he personally know. That not everybody could rise above situations all by themselves, they need help. He wants to share some personally learned insights on how; like seek a dream support team and then ultimately find their key to happiness. People or a person that can become the light that will subdue all the darkness slowly encasing them. And that’s the entirety of what he wants to impart, to those who are fully capable of providing help. Be available for loved ones who are going through traumas; physical, emotional and psychological. Be there not to give advice and reassurances that everything is okay but to listen and inspire grieving persons to fight and become totally positive in everything. Spark their interest to find a way in every interaction to become positive; be it a one on one encounter or with a crowd. And definitely they to will make it through the storm, just as he himself find his HEAL. Those without your pain rarely understand your goals. Mike Murdock Proactive approaches to healing; physically and psychologically. For emotionally he had already found his solace, the reason that ended his feeling of loss. He found a new love and that’s what’s inspiring him to continue what he had started and LIVE his kind of new normal. There are still moments he can lose track of his thoughts and ideas when writing but he can follow his thoughts easily when he speaks. He was frustrated when he lost control of his brain and don’t know the reasons why. He is relentless in finding ways to recoup what he had lost by his stroke, but he also know he has limitations. His website is what occupies most of his days today and one of the main reasons that stimulates him to fight some more. He has found out that a podcast can be the proper venue for his newfound talent, to replace the one he had lost. He has found additional people to add to his dream team through his podcast endeavors. The ones he know he can count on to come to his rescue when he is slipping. And all these good things and positive force he found, he wants to also impact other depressed persons’ lives. He wants to empower grieving people to be strong enough to share their stories. And provide opportunity to their loved ones and other people close to them to get a glimpse of their inner turmoil. So these people can be a constant anchor for them just like Matt’s dream team. He plans to elaborate on his story, with a book he is thingking of publishing. And he wants to impart what he had learned with his ordeal in dealing with grief through his coaching offer at his website. “Keep listening to podcasts like LymeVoice because it’s in that listening that we can become powerful again.” was Matthew’s parting shot as this episode is closing. Today he continues living and finding happiness within his kind of normal and he still has interesting anecdotes to share about his LIVE story. He is leaving us a favorite Quote, the one that inspires him every day: Win the day!

Sarah and Aaron get together with Cara Gael in this Lyme Voice’s 22nd podcast episode. Cara Gael is an incredible young woman, she has an amazing attitude towards her chronic condition, exceptional for most young persons her age, especially those who continually live a life with chronic illness. She tells her stories and encourage others to tell their stories via her podcast site. Cara Gael is an artist, health advocate, and freelance marketing professional who lived and experience complex chronic illness for a total of 20 baffling years, before she finally found her appropriate diagnosis. Her story is the usual story of most people with chronic illness and that is years and years of struggle within the healthcare system trying to find a diagnosis rightly befitting symptoms, agonizing over many misdiagnoses and losing many constructive opportunities along the way. Her firsthand knowledge of the importance of patient experience, made her want to give the patients the ability to communicate their opinions in conversations about healthcare that customarily rarely take account of the Real Sick People. She’s one of those who has a natural awesome Fight.Heal.Live view in life. What’s in this episode: Getting on Disability, Losing Disability Cara has been finally diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Hypermobility Type, a year ago. This is a hereditary connective tissue disorder that affects how a person’s body produces collagen. Despite her painful, hypermobile joints that sometimes partially and fully dislocate, widespread soft tissue and nerve pain, chronic daily headaches, and moderate to severe chronic fatigue. And a few other number of secondary conditions that affect her autonomic nervous system, immune system, and heart. She has a very sunny attitude towards life in general and life with chronic illness in particular. Lyme Disease was the trigger that pointed her and one of the doctors she went to for consultation to what’s really wrong with her, more or less a year ago. Hearing her talk about her illness one would wonder why she’s so vibrant and her suffering all those debilitating symptoms almost every second of her life. She recounts her story in such a fun way that makes her endearing and she can become an awesome inspiration for chronically ill people. Her almost half of her lifetime disability was lost when her illness was finally named. That’s the time when she felt she’s finally won the battle, after she didn’t quit fighting in finding her diagnosis. Her Fight story. Learning To Function Within A New Normal As a patient who struggled for 20 years with complex chronic illness before finding her major diagnosis, she had enough experience in her sleeve inspiring her to share in her podcasts about her life of living with chronic illness and disability. She’s doing it partly, “to give others living with illness the opportunity to talk about their experiences.” She’s not claiming that she’s a doctor, and she’s honestly admitting she has no medical training, and she’s categorically placing importance on these and for people to know that. She has a whole page in her website devoted to her narrative of the fact that she’s not a medical professional, and possess only anecdotal experience and painstaking research. She empathically advise everybody to at least consult doctors first for despite the considerable medical knowledge that she’s assimilated along the way, she cannot diagnose, treat, or cure anybody. She’s vividly aware that any illness or sickness can’t be treated by "easy cures” and "quick fixes". Her day is determined by the degree of how alive or active she feels in the morning. She has her own spoon diagram of Christine Miserandino’s “Spoon Theory” in her website to explain how she allocates her supply of spoon for a day. Each chronic illness sufferer has different kinds of day and chronic life, each can draw their own budgetary diagram of their spoons. Like what Cara has done to make her Live story as easy as she can. She’s advocating for all patients with chronic illness to not shy away from taking the reins and driving their lives. She knows nobody could help chronic illness patients find their new normal more than they could. When they realize and accept that fact then they can begin their emotional healing, accepting that nothing can prevent you from having some life overruns sometimes. She is inspired by a quote from a song lyric by Guns and Roses of a line from their song November Rain.   "Nothing lasts forever, even cold November rain."

Dr. Shawn Naylor is with Aaron and Sarah Sanchez, this is Lyme Voice Radio’s 21st Episode. Dr Naylor as a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine talks about Lyme Disease and the different revolutionary approaches of Lyme disease treatment he uses within his practice. As a clinical preceptor for Rocky Vista College of Osteopathic Medicine his Sound Clinic is dedicated to treating patients with Lyme and other chronic illness through an innovative approach focused on resolving the proposition that health, balance, and well-being is a natural human state.  The ultimate goal is to analyze the root causes of the disruptions and eventually guide patients experiencing chronic issues back to health. Influences of A.T Still, MD and Deitrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD play great roles in Dr Naylor’s practice of Osteopathy Medicine; Dr. Still’s the body has the ability to heal itself given the right conditions and Dr Klinghardt’s Applied Kinesiology with Autonomic Response Testing (ART). Dr Naylor through Sound Clinic dish out a complete Lyme Fighting, Healing and Living progression not only by totally establishing the derivative causes of the chronic symptoms but also in steamrolling entailed financial burdens which he acknowledge that many patients find challenging when dealing with Lyme.   “A sound mind, sound advice, sound moral values.” Sound Clinic     What’s in this episode:   Fight – Dr Naylor talked about passion, passion for eradicating underlying issues is the key mobilization drive for Doctors who make Lyme disease treatment the main focus of their practices. A lot of Doctors who advocate for Lyme disease have not experience Lyme infection in their lives and still they believe in the toxicity of Chronic Lyme Illness. They never went through all the debilitating symptoms but still they advocate research and exploration of new methods for diagnosis and treatments of Lyme disease. However having gone through a Lyme infection will greatly help Doctors treat Lyme infection more aggressively. Their fore-knowledge of the degree of the debilitating pain will provide them the stimulus to pinpoint the onset of Lyme symptoms seriously. They know that in order to get rid of Lyme you have to possess the kind of attitude that says Lyme is not going to get me. Fight with a sound mind, for a sound mind can get you to places.   Heal - Dr Shawn Naylor and his staff are a just a small force behind many Lyme advocate groups. Dr. Naylor admitted though that he had been through what folks with Lyme have to live through because he too had Lyme. He believes that patients have to possess the same passion as their doctor has for living, for them to effectively fight and rise against Lyme disease. A positive and go-getter attitude can play a commendable part in making patients get diagnosis for Lyme and rid themselves of all the debilitating symptoms of Lyme early on. Patients have to fight not only the symptoms but also fight for their insurance coverage sometimes making the battle for healing too weary for some. As discussed with other guests before Lyme disease drain patients physically, emotionally, psychologically and financially. He, through his Sound Clinic try to alleviate impacts by coming up with innovative ways to help patient cope with the enormity of the resulting Lyme issues. He advocates open-handed approach when handing in informative answers for insurance coverage for a lot of insurance companies are not well informed about the enormity of Chronic Illness thus limiting coverage. Patients have individual Lyme issues influenced by the unique structure of their individual immune systems and every one of them don’t have to undergo the same treatment rules his treatment methods. Individualized approach is what he advocate for and patients’ attitude are the ones that will determine how long or how short that treatment is going to be. Listen to sound advice it may have something that’s worth seeing.   Live – Listen to what your body is telling you. Healing is not instantaneous so patients have to move slowly through their recovery. Don’t be in too much of a hurry because one little gain entails a lot of repercussion if you become too confident your health is normal again and overdo things. It’s easy to overdo things unconsciously then you may lost the ground you’ve already covered and be back where you started off. Help of loved ones in presenting a solid help support to the patient while taking breaks in between caregiving to avoid burn out. Both should be watchful of becoming too co-dependent with each other the caregiver of being needed and the patient of being cared for. Sometimes trauma can trigger chronic Lyme and bang an infected person goes through the worse Lyme symptoms. Nevertheless the world is changing now with regards to Lyme testing and treatments syncing with technology so parameters and methodology used before in treating Lyme patients are slowly turning for the better. Dr Naylor advocates for patients to always possess a substantial character with sound moral values then the possibility of getting waylaid from the right path is lessened.   Proactive approaches to getting Lyme testing to a new level where people who complain of going through apparent Lyme symptoms should be tested for Lyme immediately. The longer the period of gestation a person with Lyme disease is allowed to undergo it’s harder for the patient to recover. Dr Naylor is active in getting the word out there; to the legislators and researchers, letting them know the widespread scope Lyme infection has claimed today. Those states which was declared Lyme free before are now showing signs they are becoming Lyme hot beds and those old data are now defunct. They got Lyme disease in there and it’s getting lethal. He is also proactive in seeking alternative treatments for each patient in connection with a patient’s financial capability and he channels his efforts into his cause “Integrating Conventional and Alternative Approach to Healthcare”. He believes that individuals have different capacities and he’s willing to listen and fit them into one of the variations. He’s after getting patients healed and not in getting patients into medical indebtedness. Information is everybody’s business and it’s very easy to get hold of information nowadays. Be informed and be proactive in seeking out information and facts then you may advocate for yourself when faced with disbelieving people especially a disbelieving doctor.   Resources Mentioned:        CDC Criteria        Mythelation        A.T Still, MD        Dr Klinghardt’s Applied Kinesiology with Autonomic Response Testing (ART)        Major Autohemotherapy (MAH)   Product Mentioned: Premythelated Supplements   Quote: “Patience and persistence.” Dr Shawn Naylor   Contact Info: Dr Shawn Naylor’s Website http://www.soundclinic.com/ Sarah Schlichte Sanchez(Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/sarah.s.sanchez.1 Aaron Sanchez   https://www.facebook.com/aaron.sanchez.9480111?fref=ts

"I think I came out of the womb wanting to make the world a better place.” Noelle Janka This simple quote simply sums up Noelle. She was 15 years old when she launched her first grassroots campaign. She’s made extensive progress with the causes she’s passionate about. Several more recent successful campaigns includes her participation with an effort to increase federal auto fuel efficiency standards; another one was the first campaign to elect President Barack Obama. She was the first board president of the Boston Cyclists Union for a year and a half, guiding the group and masterminding the group's internship and volunteer training programs. Today, Noelle has another way of showing her open-handed support to others who are aiming to become social change leaders through coaching, mentoring and consulting. As a trained life coach she’s pursuing certification from the Academy for Coaching Excellence.   What’s in this episode:   Getting disability, losing disability: Noelle had her first symptoms when she was 16 years old and in high school. Like many Lyme folks she had been through the road of misdiagnosis and ceaseless symptoms until her Mom took matters into her hands and decided to put her foot down on getting Noelle tested for Lyme in New York. After she’s diagnosed she went in search for help, relief and solutions. Which she found and then she had been in remission for 1 year where she’s back to feeling and living normally until a traumatic biking accident triggered her symptoms. The trauma caused her symptoms to escalate and extend, symptoms that can still pain her until today. Although she’s found ways to manage her symptoms they still act up all of a sudden making her less functional and not capable of lucid tasks on some days. Finding flexible work: She had come to a point in her career and life where she has finally acknowledged she is sick and told everybody at home and at work that she’s sick. She had dabbled in a number of jobs until she was offered a managerial position after a series of short term jobs, and when they knew what’s actually happening to her, what she’s going through, they made an arrangement for her to work a flexible schedule around her sickness. Despite all the leeway given to her she came to a point where she admitted that’s it’s not really working and she quit work. That’s when she found her coach. A Yoga Coach and through attending this very helpful Yoga Class helped her got her focus back. Learning to function within a new normal: With all the solutions they found to help manage her symptoms she acknowledged to herself that she need to come up with something to help Lyme sufferers like herself. A community that’s different from the ones already existing. With so much suffering there are a lot of people who don’t know where to get help and just suffer their symptoms in silence. She’s decided to share what she knows about Lyme and symptoms management protocols via a consulting website under her name and another website with a name that stir impetus for living, empowering healing from Lyme. All the help she got while healing, she wants to pay forward and that is the cause that she wants to promote in her website. She want to provide Lyme folks with a healing vision.

In this episode is the second part of Aaron and Sarah’s interview with The Next Door Entrepreneur. And in this second interview their focus is on the financial perspective of being sick with Lyme or with any other chronic illness. Specifically, earning money to spend on getting well. Episode Outline Lauryn Lauryn talked in detail about her other business, aside from Oliver Poons; the children’s story books. With this she created as solution to financial complications, caused by Lyme and other chronic illness. A Different Kind of Work is a job platform for those that will not be able to survive the rigors of traditional workplace. The Next Door Entrepreneur Her umbrella venture The Next Door Entrepreneur encompasses all her 3 businesses. The idea for The Next Door Entrepreneur sprouts from her and her Mom Lois’ observation that there are a lot of people in their immediate neighborhood that are in the same predicament as they are that may need some help starting over. They also may be in need for someone to counsel them for they don’t know what to do and who to ask for help with all their physical difficulties and financial troubles.

Lauryn Wendus of Lauryn, The Next Door Entrepreneur is with Aaron and Sarah and in this episode they talked about how Lauryn had lived through her Lyme illness and about the financial success she is able to accomplish in the midst of her personal struggle with Lyme. Lyme had impacted Lauryn’s life at her early 20s, 23 to be exact. And she is definitely an inspiration, for in the face of of her personal perceptions of being moderately incapacitated by her Lyme symptoms during the most debilitating period of her illness; she was still able to take control of her life and her career. She had come to terms with the truth that if she wishes her life to amount to something in her condition she has to make somewhat positive all the huge negativity that is slowly encompassing her. She is a fighter and she is not going to let Lyme drag her down into dependency. She turned her perceived physical weaknesses into something positive. Into a get-up-and-go stimulus to make herself successful in ways her now constrained physical stamina, which is being weakened by Lyme allows her to. Instead of letting Lyme take over her life and pin her down, she used her recovery time to assess her life and what’s left in it. She knows she is capable of many things so she picked up her act which had managed to get strewn about and resolved to not let Lyme cut off her wings.   “She really embodies the spirit of Fight.Heal.Live in the sense of recognizing that in some capacity life is not gonna go forward as it used to and then proactively taking stuffs to take care of herself.” Sarah   Aaron and Sarah identify themselves in Lauryn. That’s why they made sure their fortuitous meeting via Twitter will give them the break they need to make Lauryn’s story one of their Lyme Voice’s Episode Podcast. The three of them acknowledge they had been through the same Fight.Heal journey and are now on the same boat riding out the tumultuous passage of their Live journey. Together they will make Lauryn’s Lyme story a Lyme Voice’s story.   Episode Outline Intro Aaron and Sarah talk about their recent week, a large week for them because Sarah was able to enjoy her younger brother’s wedding. A large week indeed, for Sarah was able to coherently enjoy the event unlike her younger sister’s wedding before which she had attended with a third voice in her head telling her not to make her weakness show all the time. People with Lyme have lots of internal issues that nobody sees outwardly. They may appear okay on the outside but actually they’re not. They all agree they had been through this feeling before, and honestly acknowledged the fact that there were times they had to somehow fight the battle on their own, because nobody can perceive that they are slowly withering inside, grasping for the straws dangling at the periphery of existence for energy is slowly ebbing out from them without anyone noticing. Lauryn’s Hers is a classic story of a life with an undiagnosed Lyme illness. Lauryn tells how she as an ambitious young 23 years old, at that time enjoying her financial corporate career, suddenly feels some weakening stamina and foggy mental awareness. The symptoms come and go and at first, and she didn’t know she has Lyme. She’s never had all the characteristic symptoms connected to Lyme before her diagnosis. No bull’s eye rash, nothing, so at first Lyme was not the suspected diagnosis. She was misdiagnosed with Lymphoma because of the swollen lymph nodes and some misleading blood works. She had gone through the same conditions that other patients with Lyme had experienced despite being devoid of the usual Lyme disease flags. So it came as a surprise to her and her family, her Lyme disease diagnosis. But she didn’t give up she decided to face her symptoms head-on. She went through almost the same Fight journey with Sarah; that sudden feeling of being overly fatigued all of a sudden, swollen lymph nodes and all. But it was the blurry visions one day when she was driving to work which jolted her to finally acknowledge something was definitely wrong. She speaks of her journey to self-realization which she was able to finally create in her mind. While lying down in bed bogged down by the different symptoms she was undergoing, of making something with her life with Lyme. And from her education too, to earn what she needs to be able to live because a life with Lyme is a high cost existence. That was the point of acceptance for her, when she told herself okay if you can’t get rid of Lyme how about creating a life with Lyme, her Fight Lyme Story. The biggest part of which was focused on gaining back her mental coherence, of backing backwards before she can go forward, a very humbling experience for her. “After trying basic part-time work but still unable to sustain the required schedule without my condition deteriorating, I was left with few options.” Lauryn She has an interesting start as an entrepreneur. Her Heal Lyme Story. Although she studied about business and its subjects in college and was able to graduate with a degree in business, the basics of being an entrepreneur were not taught to them at school. So she had to grope in the dark how to and what kind of business she is going to have, because she knew then, that she can no longer work in a normal corporate environment. During those moments of soul and mind searching the idea of publishing her scribbled works had not occurred to her. Her story writing talent was not an actuality at that time. It came as an accident and had started when her Lyme symptoms altered her so much mentally she started writing with her left hand though she was right handed her entire life before that. The novelty of her left handed writing ability had amazed her so much she was scribbling in a notebook, children stories inspired by Oliver the cat who was her constant companion while she lay in bed so much. But then in retrospection she recognized the potential and so she took the power of the internet into her hands and she tried to find answers. She started her business broke and with the help of her mother, because Lyme has taken over the bulk of her finances. She detailed how she used creating a business as her Heal motivation and she recounts all the interesting events during the start of her entrepreneurial career. She shares her Fight.Heal.Live Lyme story with the hope to be able to give people who are living lives with Lyme just like her and Sarah, that there is indeed life after or with Lyme. She wants to convey assurance that definitely you’re going to get better from a Lyme illness and definitely Lyme disease exists. She was able to figure this all out during the past 3 years, the total span of her entire life with Lyme so far. As an entrepreneur she’s created 3 businesses which are connected to her live your life with Lyme “After all, if I can do it, so can you.” cause: The Oliver Poons Children’s Brand: Happy, whimsical, rhyming children’s stories and accessories.

Life is full of twists and turns, and circumstances that seem set in stone can become nonexistent at a moment’s notice. The name Next Door Creations was inspired by the idea that no matter how things may seem in life, it’s important to always have faith that the next door of opportunity will present itself. Whether the “next door” is a spark of the imagination, an event you attend, or a person you meet, something, somehow, will always appear, and the opportunity to seize a new path will emerge. From there are infinite possibilities; endless ways to create something new.” -Lauryn Alyssa Wendus   You can sign up for a newsletter at her Website: http://laurynwendus.com/ You may contact her or email her with:  [email protected]   Don’t forget your Audible download! http://www.audibletrial.com/LymeVoice
