I had Lyme Disease in 2004 and major spine surgery in 2005. In both instances, connecting to people who had been through what I was experiencing changed my life. I founded Trusera to address this gaping need in our search for health information: we all need access to others' first-hand experiences and "the friend who's been through it."
