Well.. who has Nova Scotia been playing with out behind the barn?
It appears someone has warped their little brains.
"Other symptoms that are, or have been suggested to be, associated with Lyme disease (including those of so-called `chronic' Lyme disease and post Lyme disease syndromes) are considered too non-specific to define cases for surveillance purposes, whether or not they may be caused by B. burgdorferi infection."

Tracy9, speaking of "no investment in anything", if our government can put someone like Martha Stewart in prison, do you think these bas*ards will be far behind? Personally, I think they've done way more damage....The least I think we can do is try to find some "Pen-Pals" that will be willing to correspond with them...Or, maybe,we can leave that up to them, ...As they are such "astute clinicians",they can figure it out for themselves..... http://www.prisonpenpals.com Joe

AARRRRGGGG!!!!! For the last few days I've been able to spend more time on the computer. I finally watched 'Under the Skin', along with many others.
I have found that all of the anger has re-suferaced!!! I'm sooooo flipping mad that I don't even know what to do!! THEN after seeing this-----------Bas*ards is one accurate word decribing these idiots. How about Ignorarant; no that would mean lack of knowlegde---not the case! Stupid--A**holes--etc....
Sorry, in a pretty bad/frusterated mood! I cannot believe what is in the report!!!! Un-freaking-real!!!!
What can we do?????????? So many times I've started letters, contacting the media, Newspapers, but I can never seem to finish as I always get too sick. So any suggestions on what I can do?????? I, as I'm sure y'all are too am SOOOOOO sick of the ignorance, Dr.'s just turning there heads and looking the other way 'cause they don't even want to take the time to learn about the disease, etc....
, , , I know, it's a been a bad week!
