This man is slipping quickly and I am hoping someone on here knows how to contact him. He could be treated with abx and saved. He's only 46.

He has a profile on linked in but I am not a member.

Anyone?

Here's the article:

He may not have Lyme, but I would surely get checked out.

Myco....What makes you think ABX will help this guy?

Man, that's so freakin' sad. [Frown]

I don't see how in this case Lyme and ALS would mimic each other. He's so far gone.

I'm just curious, how many people on here are on feeding tubes and seriously can't walk (or barely)?

I think it would be nice to see if he took a WB what it would say, or if he tried to take ABX, what it would do.

I guess I'm just more of a skeptic to the idea that "everything" is or could be Lyme.

Lyme has so many symptoms that mimic everything else, but to me, it doesn't mean that all of those diseases don't exist or that they were induced by Lyme. I just can't submerse myself that far into the Lyme world I guess. :|

Actually, if you do a search of lymenet archives you will find a number of cases of lyme that resemble ALS. Some can be helped, some cannot.

Well this is heartbreaking.

I'd say its ALS and not Lyme.

Posted by Myco (Member # 9536) on :

MANY ALS cases are Lyme.

Dr M in CO was near death from "ALS" and I just saw him this past weekend up and walking and doing well after treating his Borrelia.
