I am trying so bad to go to this conference. My daughter has been sick since the age of 15 with undiagnosed Lyme and now it has gone to the brain at 25 yrs. She was having one of her brain episodes and left me with a damaged knee and fractured hip when she pushed me to the ground. Everyone has to be educated against this dreaded disease and what horrible damge it can do a body. I hope I get the chance to make it to this conference 🙁
