I'm thinking about bringing my case to a lawyer and was wondering what anyone thought about a class action lawsuit against the labs. I suffered for 3 years with Lyme and still have it, just now with cognitive problems, terrible pain etc... I missed so much work and feel If I was diagnosed correctly and quicker I wouldnt be in this situation. Im sure many people are in the same boat due to the inaccuracy of the test results... Why bother with these results if there are often false negatives.
Wondering what anyone thinks.

anan, are you the one persuing this NOW and asking around? another newbie posted something recently on this.
read down thru the pages on ACTIVISM, and you'll find many posts about class action lawsuits...

I contacted my lawyer and they will call me back... I saw a few other posts from other people.. When the lawyer calls me back I'll let everyone know what he said. I can't see how this is not a case. The CDC has lead many people to be wrongfully diagnosed which has caused a great deal of damage to people physically and financially.

I hope you can do this. I'm not sure if anyone else has tried yet.
Goodluck! Ann

If you can find a lawyer willing to do a class action suit, I think that would be awesome. Not sure if it should be against the labs. They aren't the one's that developed the test in the first place.
Maybe a class action suit against the IDSA for making guidelines that cause all of us to suffer horrendously for years and years.

I originally posted this (below)in a reply to a medical question.
It belongs here.
I will also cut and paste the other responses to this.
Thanks bettyg.
***************************** too bad there couldn't be a class action lawsuit against the IDSA and CDC.
or all the attorney generals banning together (like against big tobacco) and states suing for money for treatment of lyme.
If this happened...Lyme lawyers would be coming out of the woodwork like cockroaches.
