SUGAR.

So apparently people with Lyme are not supposed to eat processed sugar. I have had Lyme for over a decade and I did not know this until this past year. I was reading about it in a Lyme book and they said something like “Don’t worry- if your friends are eating cinnamon rolls, you don’t have sit out! You can just eat a mango instead.” This sentence only proved to make me very angry. I mean, I can handle sitting on the sidelines from almost all physical activities, taking large amounts of medications that make me even more sick, and going to the doctor all the time. These things I have learned to accept. But come on. Don’t take away my cinnamon rolls or my frozen yogurt. That’s just mean. Oh, and I hate mangos.
