I have a lifelong disease that threatened my life back in 1990. It caused an infection in my heart called endo-carditis. It caused another heart infection in 1992. I have flair-ups of this thing every year or two. When it causes any pain in my heart, I get scared. Then there are the times I have trouble breathing. The heart beating healthily and the lungs working properly are two very important parts of LIFE. One cannot live without these actions going on in the body.
The disease went undiagnosed for many years before 1990. We are not sure exactly, but it appears to be from 1985 on that I have had it. It is called Lyme Disease and is gotten from a tick bite. It affects one's whole system and never goes away completely. For instance, my Infectious Disease Specialist told me NEVER donate blood.
Then again, I have been threatened with sexual assault, actually experienced it in another time and was the victim of childhood sexual assault many times.
