Lyme disease made my face asymmetric and ugly
This doesn’t happen to everyone with Lyme (but I feel like if it did, we would be known a lot less as an invisible disability).
I have been going through a difficult flare-up since January. Recently, I recorded a video of myself and it was SO BAD compared to ones I recorded in December.
My eyebrows are asymmetric, with one eyebrow legit an inch above the other. One of my eyebrows doesn’t move much. One side of my mouth moves more than the other. My eyes twitch and blink as I read things.
Worse, I showed a photo of a group of people to AI and asked it to describe the clothes of the person with an asymmetric face. It correctly found and described me and only me. I tried again with a different photo/clothes, also correctly found me.
This is just a rant but yeah I am not happy with this “invisible disability” and how it makes me look. Lyme face is real and noticeable by humans and AI alike.
