Thank you very much
Thank you for letting me know. And so sorry you have this horrendous illness 💔
Thank you very much for the advice.
Do you have any advice about how to get started with it please?
I’m realising that I really need to help my son use this App. I’m assuming you need to wear a wrist band or similar to measure heart rate.

Thank you @kfarrow14.bsky.social for letting me join you this morning : )
The museum is well worth a visit if you are in Edinburgh. Brilliant.
I’m smiling and standing next to Dolly the sheep - an exhibit in the National Museum of Scotland.
After an evening of Lyme disease awareness advocacy in the Scottish Parliament, I took a break this morning and visited Dolly in the National Museum of Scotland. I was studying genetics at University when Dolly was born so this was a big deal.

But it's not a done deal yet. Please share urgently.

Tick-bite illnesses can be complex and debilitating. Are we any closer to understanding them?
This article from Australia’s ABC News highlights the work of Dr Richard Schloeffel who has been researching a group of people with ongoing symptoms linked to tick bites.
