Madeleine shares how social media provided hope while struggling with a chronic illness.
Madeleine Boyson is an undergraduate studying history at Walla Walla University. After being diagnosed with Lyme in 2014, she studied art history for a semester at Oxford, eventually returning home for extensive antibiotic treatment and IV therapy. Madeleine has become intimately acquainted with the isolating effects of a disease that is both neglected medically and confining physically. Though she’s still in treatment, Madeleine is an advocate on social media for Lyme and other invisible diseases; she sits on WWU’s ADA Committee and the local Amnesty International leadership team; and she writes for WWU’s newspaper The Collegian.
