My daughter has research paper. Thinking of polling teens with lyme and teens without lyme to compare their knowledge of the disease. Or something like that still in the works.

She wants to use it as springboard to educate non-lymes and I am hoping somehow to encourage hope in the kids with lyme.

Do you have a teen with lyme that would participate? If so, could you pm me with thier name and how to contact them. Perhaps thru you if your child is as forgetful as mine!

Thanks,

Char

I am technically not a teen anymore (I turned 20 a month ago) but I've had Lyme for all of my teen years. I would be happy to help if you need it, just pm me!

Hi Char.

My daughter would be happy to help. She's 14.

PM me any details, or post 'em.

She did a six month course for CDC positive lyme, way bad knee pain, resolved and has never revisited us. (FIVE MONTHS ABX-FREE AND COUNTING!!!) Yeah!!!

Hopeful,

Michelle

Char-

PM sent.

My daughter is more than willing to help out.

When she took the ACT's this Spring she was very upset that the science passage had to do with an 1989 study concerning Lyme...using old, discounted data points.

Was she ever steamed that a large number of teens exposure to Lyme would be based on erroneous information! She wrote a nice rant in her test book about it, and when she has enough energy will be writing the ACT company itself.

Char -

My daughter is not quite a teen - she's 12.

If that's close enough - let me know.

I'd be interested to know how much my daughter knows about Lyme too -- as in 'I wonder how much she actually listens to me'???!!!

Hugs &

Amy, hang in there. My son is 16 also and has been abx free for several months after a year of treatment for lyme/babs. He's back to being a normal, healthy teenager again. You can PM me if you'd like.

As far as the poll, I'll get him to participate if I can keep him home long enough to do so.
Just send me a PM.

My daughter is 18 and has Bartonella. She just graduated last night, which was a miracle, a test of endurance, and a blessing.
