i'm open, but i think she's making a mistake discontinuing treatment.
it's also very negative for lyme. this makes it difficult for others to get treatment.

It says she nearly died from an opiate overdose. Nothing lyme treatments caused. What protocol for lyme includes opiates? Opiates are contradictory towards lyme healing.

Yes, it says opiates nearly killed her. Makes no sense.
If that girl is not well, she will have a very hard time getting further treatment. She is the kind of person all the LLMDs are terrified of. I wonder if her family is suing the clinic.
They sure broke the paragraphs down into nice little neuro lyme segments!

An opiate is a medication derived from opium from the poppy plant.
An example of an opiate would be morphine, codeine, and heroin which is an illegal drug. And then there are synthetic drugs similar to morphine, example: fentanyl, Dilaudid, methadone.
You may need an opioid for acute pain, trauma pain, post-operative pain, and chronic pain.

This is the kind of publicity that sends many lyme treating doctors in hiding.
Readers who are not familiar with lyme treatment already have a bad perception towards the disease.
What a shame..

I really think it depends on her true diagnosis, if she has sth like Myasthenia Gravis, or Dermatomyositis or anything like that, treatment couldKILL her, that is absolutely true, so sometimes the truth is not what you think...
Posted by steve1906 (Member # 16206) on :
because a lot of people don't ever test pos for lyme and co's, they sometimes have no idea what there treating.
And yes, with all the antibiotics,alternative treatments and vitamins we take, anyone of us are always at risk of making things worst at times.
