Lorraine Johnson is live blogging (notes) from the IOM meeting today in Washington, DC.

The LDA and other groups traveled the long distance to be able to speak for 5 minutes during the public portion.

Thanks to all who made the efforts!

1:30 pm EST Susan Connell, European equivalent of CDC
Late Lyme is quite responsive to treatment--even neurological MS presentation

Searched for evidence of seronegative late Lyme if it occurs at all is extremely rare

No reliable reports of seronegative late Lyme
==============================================
Looks like we may have gotten something out of it. Or I may be misinterpreting.

Thanks all.

Seronegative means a negative test result.

That statement is saying they have no reliable reports of lyme existing with negative test results which is bull.

Both links aren't working. Thanks, TC (and Lorraine, LDA).

Yes but MS presentations many times do not present

until treatment begins and that can take months to

be responsive. But your right. They will probably deny it.

Sorry not all got to listen in-phone set up.

I was there and provided a 5 minute comment. I believe the lyme world was very well represented. I believe the commitee was moved by the comments given by all, only time will tell with how well.

Bob I submitted a long question to the panel on Morgellons.

The long part was who all I included to be asked the question...

Can you tell me if it was presented?
 
Posted by lymie_in_md (Member # 14197) on :
 
I didn't hear it presented, I'll ask some other folks who went tomorrow and let you if they heard anything about a morgellon's question to the panel.
