May is Lyme Awareness Month

May is Lyme Awareness Month and this whole month, we will be posting each day about Lyme disease on our Facebook page. Sadly, we know firsthand because we lost our Mom, Jeanne Cloutier. In her memory, the Central Mass Lyme Foundation, Inc. was formed. Our mission is to educate, raise awareness and help others advocate for their health. During this month, please share facts about the disease and wear lime green to raise awareness. Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria named Borrelia burgdorferi. It can create symptoms that mimic the flu, joint pain, fatigue. muscle pain, fibromyalgia, and neurologic problems like depression, anxiety, and loss of muscle/motor control or seizures. It can also infect the heart and cause palpitations or DEATH. If you know anyone we can help, please have them contact us TOLL FREE at 1-888-511-LYME.
