LymeBrave founder Susan Pogorzelski has partnered with leading Lyme organization Global Lyme Alliance as a regular contributor to their #MyLymeLife essay series.

"When I was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease, the reason for this inherent need for sleep finally became clear to my family and friends, though there are still days when they struggle to understand why I can’t accept their invitation for a spontaneous night out. Even now, they’ll send me cute memes and funny cartoons about napping, and I’ll laugh along with them because it is cute and it is funny, and I’m grateful to have my sense of humor back. But sometimes I wonder if they will ever really understand that this is a need, not a choice. I’d never choose sleep over friends.

I’d never choose this life with Lyme. "
