Introduction

Hey everyone. My name is Sean and I drive a 1996 200sx se-r and a 1989 Nissan 240sx. On most forums I am known as sr20sean. My 240sx build, which i will document in another post, is built for how I wanted it to be while at the same time I'm using it to help spread the word on Lyme. I created this blog to not only share progress of my car but to help raise awareness for how bad Lyme Disease can be and how badly it can effect someone. I plan to have a few meets/bbq's and possibly a few other events to help spread Lyme Disease awareness.

I have had Lyme since late 07 or early 08. Unlike most people's symptoms mine started off neurologically and progressed from there. I began getting panic attacks out of nowhere, a fear of being stuck in one place and not being able to escape, and I also had a hard time understanding emotions. This progressed into severe headaches, stomach issues, and body aches. The panic attacks turned into a nearly constant feeling when my stomach issues began because of that fear of not being able to get out if I had needed to. Because of the near constant panic attacks I was unable to attend 99% of 11th grade and all of my senior year, the two years I had been looking forward to most. Still i continue to fight the illness but I am now able to function more then I had been thanks to 2 separate treatments of IV antibiotics for 12 weeks minimum of daily treatments each, and 5 weeks of having a PICC line in my arm. There was also the numerous different oral antibiotics I was on. Hopefully I can find a way to help raise awareness for Lyme while still having fun with my car.
