It was a journey that I did all alone cause most of my friends vanished on the way
Alas ... but now you've made some new ones and are, perhaps, the better for it. The friends we choose during the good times, are rarely the same as those we choose during the bad.
The dichotomy causes you to redefine the word "friend," and become the wiser for it.
My story echoes the voices of many other Lyme sufferers who underwent the same experience of getting infected with Borrelia burgferi, one of the smartest bacterias on Earth,
Not "one of," Lavi ... Borrelia burgdorferi is THE SMARTEST bacteria on Earth. By a mile.
It is the ONLY life-form on Earth that doesn't require iron to manufacture proteins (it uses manganese instead). This alone should make its existence impossible. This renders ineffective one of the host's primary immune defense mechanism's against bacterial infections and makes BB a super-competitor relative to all other bacteria (all other bacteria are hyper-iron-dependent and must compete with one another for limited supplies).

The doctors who think you're faking it are morons. The evidence in support of the existence of Chronic Lyme Disease is overwhelming. The naysayers prove only that education is no guarantee of knowledge, let alone insight.

Thanks for the correction. I wasn't sure and I did not want to sound bias. As for gaining new friends, you are absolutely right! I was lucky to stumble upon those who stay around no matter what, an endangered specie ;-) Not to mention those I met in here, like yourself! Big hug!
@lymepoet,
Back at ya.
