Why isn't there any serious research being done to arrest this disease? It's all about IVs and neurological symptoms.

Come on ! Can't we try something NEW? A different antibiotic is in order. Doxy takes TOO DAMN LONG.

Let's try something different!!!

Signed,

Sick of lyme. I have numbness in my forehead ... Kind of a new symptom today!!! FUN

I know Dr. Fallon at Columbia University does research. I'm not sure what's going on there.

My LLMD is conducting his own research and testing. It takes a loooong time, as it is being self-funded.

Not everyone gets grants for this kind of research. It's not a glamorous disease.

I wrote President Bush and asked him to be a face for Lyme when he retires from the White House.

We just muddle along.

My LLMD researches also. He only sees patients 4 days a week so he can have time to conduct his research.
