Topic: Death from Lyme

We sadly read in our paper of a lovely woman who died "after a protracted illnes from Lyme disease". She had been a medical researcher and nurse.

To preserve her privacy I will not disclose more information. But I send my thoughts and prayers to her family. And I can't help wondering what we can learn from her experience.

I have been ill for so many years and nearly lost my life as well. But I feel hopeful that we got it under control in time, that I am responding to the Bicillin and Biaxin and doing well compared to my past long history of serious illness.

It is such a long haul, but I am thankful for all of you as well as for the years of hard work and research done by others on our behalf.

Thank you sincerely from my deepest soul. And accept our deep sympathy if you are related to or know this lovely lady we have lost.
