I'm from the beautiful and sunny (might be wishful thinking) Highlands of Scotland. Finding Joy is my debut novel which is about a family fighting Lyme disease!

@NeilDrysdale your kind words in this beautifully written article mean more to me than I can say. Thank you!

I talked to recently-elected MSP Morven-May MacCallum about the challenges caused by Lyme disease, which meant she was housebound and bedbound for much of her early years. It's obvious, though, that the Black Isle resident is a resilient individual

Excited to be kicking off the first of many events this year at Forres Theme Day! I’ll be there with information on Lyme disease, my books and handmade sea glass bookmarks 😃, tick removers and repellents and lots more. #lymediseaseawareness #lymewarrior #charity #carshow #author

A flashback from my early days of Lyme disease awareness! What an adventure these years have been and all thanks for my novels Finding Joy and Keeping Joy #lymedisease #lymewarrior #booklover❤️ #author #chronicdisease

How do ticks spread Lyme disease?

Ticks pass through 3 life stages: larva, nymph & adult, & require a blood meal in each stage.

The tick may become infected during one feed before transmitting infections during its next feed.

Been trying on hand at making bookmarks with sea glass that I’ve collected on my beach walks. What do you all think? Shall I start selling them on my stall? 🤔the green ones are very fitting for Lyme 😃 #lymediseaseawareness #lymesucks #bookmarks #authorsofinstagram📚 #booklover

Really pleased to have attended & helped @LymeResourceCtr with their event in the parliament last night. It was great to see so many MSPs such as @RussellFindlay1, @MareeToddMSP & @ClareAdamsonSNP there. Great to see @ScotGamekeepers #lymedisease #chairty #lymelife #lymeawareness

These are exciting time for our incredible short film Unseen. Sarah and Lyndsey have been busy in the studio editing the film - we are one step closer to completion and that’s all think to your kind donations!! 👏👏#lymedisease #shortfilms #filmmakinglife #filmmakers #filmmaking

A recent Australian brain MRI study of ME/CFS and long COVID provides further evidence that people with ME/CFS and post-COVID syndromes experience genuine cognitive impairments with measurable neurological changes: https://t.co/naPBlXyZPs

@ah_scotland Hello. Sorry I completely missed your kind message! I have given it try and sadly it didn’t work very well but thanks for suggesting it. It is rather cute isn’t it😊

Tried the coconut oil trick on ember in the hope of stopping her from getting pom poms in the snow…it worked for all of five minutes 😂. I hope you are all staying cosy and warm! #cavapoo #doglovers #dogoftheday #snowday #snowdog

Trying out @thrivahealth after the GP refused/were unable to run some test. It was surprisingly painless, quick and easy. Now I just need to wait a few days for the results 🤞#bloodtesting #healthforall #chronicillnesslife #lymedisease #lymewarrior #lyme #healthylifestyle

Happy New Year everyone! I’d adore to know what your plans or goals are for the year ahead…even if it’s just to survive another year! #lymedisease #newyear #ɴᴇᴡʏᴇᴀʀ2026 #newyearnewme #author
