Lisa... you said.. "I mean, is there somewhere that actually shows a dr or other professional using that word to label us? ... I need proof. that's how I roll."
Here is an entire article by a NIH toad that once led the Lyme program and continues to spend his miserable energy blasting Lyme patients.

More mentions by so called professionals... and they are talking about LymeNet and its members here.
"So why the interest in Flagyl among the Lymees? Quackery and incompetence, of course. That is, quackery and incompetence among the so-called “Lyme Literate” docs who prey on—I mean treat—these unfortunate people."
"It’s been a busy week in LymeLand. There must have been some kind of nuthouse furlough recently because three Lymee wackjobs have just dumped a load of nonsense into the Internet, which in all fairness is basically what the 90% Internet is—a digital landfill for the mentally ill, the conspiracy-minded, the juvenile, and the criminal."
"I continue to marvel at the ability of these people to withstand so many simultaneous infectious agents—some of which have significant mortality rates. In the real world, most of us would be under a doctor’s care or in a hospital for any one of the above agents, but these online Lymees are tough, able to sit at home chatting on the Internet, and basking in the admiration and envy of their fellow LymeNuts. One such admirer writes:
…I wish I could get positives on some coinfections. They keep comin[g] up neg and I am constantly second guessing every treatment I get.
Well, with the right quack doctor and diagnostics company, I’m sure you will. Best of luck with your hypochondria."
"…the negative feedback participants received led them to identify with a new community of people, “Lymies,” as they developed a new understanding of their disease. Defense (hiding doctors) and resistance (advocacy, activism) are defining parts of this community. "
"The tea drinkers don’t seem to be having much success overthrowing reality. Neither do the anti-vaccination nuts. Or the AIDS denialists. Or the Lymees. Maybe they all should sit back, relax, and have a cup of decaf coffee. My treat."

Wow, gotta love the moronic irony in that quote about AIDS deniers, while he's doing the exact same thing regarding Lyme.
Arrogant, ignorant hypocrite.

who is this Edward McSweegan? I cna't read I am in so much pain... sorry.
he sounds like a real winner if he is writing all these things. I get the point and I see the damage, I just guess that keebler an dothers that agree lymie is wrong want to stop it before it gets bigger.
it just isn't main stream yet, and that is what I thought was happening, that's all.

Seeing a lot of "Lymie" references, even in the media. Not nice. Bringing this up as a reminder.

- Thanks for the reminder, Tincup. Each time I hear this or see it in a supposed information article - it's just a sharp stake to the heart compounding the fractures from years of doctors' insults & dismissals. -

- Randibear,
The disparaging slang, whether posed in a question or not, is certainly language often used as insults to demean women (and also men, if calling them a "boob"). It seems that is the intent of the post, otherwise it serves no purpose other than to insult the posters here regarding a very tender issue. -
