Lyme Disease

[blueta2]

you guys rock, thanks for listening. I know this is a BB site, but our health is imperative and I need to get the word out.
I hope you all watch the trailer of the movie and read about it b/c trust me, it will affect someone you know sooner than later.

Hugs

The CDC estimates that 1.8 million new cases of Lyme Disease occur every year in the US. The likelyhood of you getting properly diagnosed is pretty slim too. Most likely you'll suffer like hell through the acute phase, then settle down to chronic and progressive ailments with doctors giving you "diagnoses" that are really just labels of your symptoms rather than discovery of the root causes. Oh and by then you'll be in the disseminated phase where even gram dosages of IV antibiotics probably wont cure you and your insurance company will refuse to cover proper treatment.


Peeps do you have any friends or family with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Benign Fasciculation Syndrome, MS, unexplained chronic headaches, dizzyness, early onset arthritis, tinnitis, intermittent unexplained fevers, chronic GI tract ailments, unexplained muscle and/or back pain, scatica, and about any number of another dozen or so chronic unexplained ailments? If you do then you may know someone who actually has Lyme Disease, but their doc is too fucking ignorant to know how to properly diagnose them.

Lyme Disease is not a rare condition. People just think it is.

I went 15 months getting progressively sicker before I was diagnosed, and even then

Hey RW, so glad u could join me.
Did you see the trailer or hear of the movie?


I too was sick for 13 yrs being told I had CFS then Lupus and only last Aug was I given the grim news, but then it was too late.
And to boot, not one dr diagnosed me, I did, by searching the net. I found the lab, and the lyme dr. Now my Rheumatogist is all ears with me ;-)

Yeah. Because a documentary will make it better.

 

[blueta2]

Yeah. Because a documentary will make it better.

I'm fighting for my life as are many others with this illness and yes getting the word out there will make it better.

How do you think the word of lyme should be told as to get people to listen?
