I 2 was looking up BattleStar Galatica vids when I came upon this video.Holy serendipity I have been suffering from a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia for 8 years with no relief.I do remember a tick that long ago,which I found snug in my bathing suit top that I wore over night and found the next afternoon.I pulled it out of my breast,not thinking anything about it!Just that it was gross and freaky.Now after watching this,which I just started to sob,because this is my life and now Im goin 2 get tested!
Educate yourself about this!! I’ve been sick for a long time and misdiagnosed for years. Lost everything
THIS IS SERIOUS and WAY more common than people possibly understand!!
I cried listening to this. So many things strike a chord. EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT LYME DISEASE> It’s killing us…..
Opposite way round for me… big BSG fan but actually I was just looking for lyme videos because I have it and found this – was pretty surprised to find the President of the Colonies giving a talk on lyme! haha
I have recently come to find that I may have had this for ten years or more. My heart is broken for sure. Nobody believes me and I didn’t believe myself until the symptoms were so far along I couldn’t deny it. I experience this pain in the muscles etc. I’m so sick these days I can’t get out of bed. My family just thinks I’m delusional and they abandoned me. I had to fail out of school last term. I can’t cope anymore.
Where do we go?
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
My child is a cop in a CT town. Go to lymenet dot (org) to the flash discussion then to doctor seek. You need a Lyme Literate MD.
I grew up in Milford. Who has that test? Are the LLMDs offering it?
There is a new Lyme test available in Milford CT. Just “google” LYME DNA TEST MILFORD CT for details.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do internet research on using SEA SALT for curing Lyme. I had it for seven months before I was diagnosed, and doxycycline only made me sicker. I took a shot of about 1/2 teaspoon of RAW SEA SALT in a small amount of water, and in only hours I felt better than I had in months! I continued this maybe three times a day for several days and it ended my Lyme. I take this “shot” every now and then just to be sure it stays gone. IT WORKS. DO RESEARCH. TELL THE PEOPLE!!
Wrote a Lyme disease brochure with the help of 2 Lyme specialists. Will email to anyone interested.
you mean:
oh my Gods this is so moving.
oh my God this is so moving.
Lyme is treated just like Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia. There is no respect for the suffering these real diseases cause. Travelling, pounding hurt is exactly what Fibro feels like. The cognitive difficulties are also very bad with Fibro as well. I wonder sometimes if all Fibro is related to Lyme. Someone’s got to figure it out. Being told your depressed is always fun too. Totally awful
I’m glad that somebody will suggest that Lyme is transmissible between humans.
I did not know this disease until I typed up Mary McDonnell on youtube because I was looking for BSG videos. I looked what this is on wiki. Thank you tvcee15 for this. I’ll be a little less ignorant when the day ends today. It makes me so grateful for my health.
Hey guys….PLEASE register at the Oprah Winfrey website and let her know how much you would like to see her do a show on Lyme disease. Dr. Oz thinks the “UNDER OUR SKIN” documentary is wonderful but a show about Lyme won’t be done unless she sees lots of interest. Request that LLMDS and patients be the guests so that we can be heard. Also, Daryl Hall would make a great guest. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER !
God Bless,
wow, mary mcdonnel sounds so much like President Roslin from BSG. i feel like im hearing a speech on colonial one!!
Thank you for having the courage and compassion for speaking out about this disease. It is so widespread. Thanks again, please stay with this fight for everyone who is suffering from this disease. Bless you.
No…it is a bacterial infection transmitted through insects. Don’t try to make things more complicated than they already are, please. The Lyme situation is politicized enough.
This is well done. There are answers… search “chronic lyme disease success story” and watch the videos. Only people who beat lyme can show you the way. Keep looking creatively until you find answers. There are answers, but maybe not where you would expect them. If a mainstream medicine can’t do the job, then you’ve got to look elsewhere.
i am waiting for my test results..i am afraid i will get a false negative ..i thought i was going crazy …i was so scared…my mind …it’s like i stepped out for a while & somebody else is runnung the show…my heart does’nt beat properly ..i fall down …i can’t work…& am afraid they wont hear me…
A dear friend from high school had Lyme disease and ended up having to drop out of school and live as a recluse at home. She gave up her dream of pursuing her dream of studying Shakespeare because of this horrible disease. This is an incredibly beautiful and truthful speech on the disease. Thanks to Ms. McDonnell for using her celebrity to bring this to the light.
I think this video of Mary Mcdonnell was very informative and says a lot regarding Lyme Disease and it’s debilitating effects on “all” person(s) involved. Thank you, Thank you, Thank You for her and every other person(s) support in fighting this horrible, sad, and sometimes forgotten ‘chronic’ disease.

I know about what yr going threw. I was bit in 1992, then 1996, and now get to stay home 24-7, becouse I cant do anything without colasping. Google Dar’s Toy Story, I wrote it 1 year ago, to let others know what we go threw every day. Been downloaded 6 Mil. times in 1 year. Its on Lyme-Net. Dont look back@what ya did, see what ya can do, it could be worse,like me. Prayers can only help. Were alone out here,and can,hoping anybody will hear us. Texas Dar !
Thank you Mary. More people that are able need to take a stand. For my area, I made up a comprehensive brochure that was approved by 2 Lyme specialists. I was overwhelmed by emails requesting a brochure. Currently, I am in the process of having this brochure scanned so I can start email to anyone interested. Whatever you can do to educate others, do it. Neighborhood meetings, church gatherings, etc. Direct people interested in Lyme disease to youtube as this is a great resource.
