It's been rough, I won't lie.

But I've found some amazing people who really care through it all. Real love and support.

Listen to Janet Jackson "After you Fall" and J. Cole's "Note to Self".

I really pray that we all get better and that justice is served to the IDIOTS who aren't taking this as seriously as it is.

I'm 22, live in Windsor, ON. My name is Kurtis Colman.

I was a professional dancer, even being able to dance for Paula Abdul, be in music videos, and be on the TV Show "Once Upon a Time". I started feeling sick and not right and like I was aging way too quick.

After being diagnosed with depression I went to rehab, then was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and it wasn't until seeing a Naturopath in BC trained by Dr. Murakami (aka Saint Murakami) that I got my diagnosis.

That was maybe a month ago. Now I'm taking CBD Oil, but it's been rough.

I'm one of the lucky ones though, I was only sick for 2 years before getting diagnosed which for some is a gift, I never lost my ability to walk and although with much pain I've been able to sort of manage on my own, and I found a treatment option and am working with the best doctor MURAKAMI.

I was told that if I took CBD Oil for a year then went to Germany to do their hyperthermia treatment I'd be better. And a year cure is better than a lot of people I've heard taking 30000 herbals and not knowing how awful they're gonna feel that day. So like I said in ways, I'm lucky. But that's really sad that that is considered lucky. It should even be this way.

It seemed and seems like I'm hitting wall after wall on the lyme road...field...whatever.

My diagnosis doesn't count because it's not approved by a government that supplies a 80-90% inaccurate test.

The Western Blot even came back negative with a few bands positive. Doctor's didn't know how to read it and for a year I was basically told, yeah maybe. I dunno. 

It's really sad. I'm sure we all have our stories and we've all lost a lot. But here's some of what I lost.

Stability, mental, physical, financial. How the heck are we supposed to work like this, and getting on disability takes forever.

Being a dancer, I can`t do it for a living anymore. My whole career has to change. That`s fine I just wish it was on my own terms and not this diseases.

Years of good health, wasted. If there were proper education and testing and treatment of this. We wouldn`t have to go around paying 1000s of dollars on the next ``Cure`` that works for some people, or the next 30 herbals that will flush it out. This disease has been around more than long enough SOMETHING should be known about it.

That`s what kills me and many others, the why?

No one deserves this disease, no one deserves unfair treatment, no one deserves to struggle and not know where their next cheque comes from cause they can't walk, no one deserves to be forgotten and put on the back burner.

We all deserve to be loved. And I feel the love from friends and family. But not from doctors and from the masses.

Anyways, please stay strong and if you ever need someone call me
