I want to share how those who came before me are already changing the tides for newly bitten/diagnosed Lyme patients.

Because of the persistence of good people, there was compelling evidence to support a treatment outside of IDSA guidelines.

Let's hope this is the beginning of a new trend. In my case, an LLMD was not an option, so I approached a good doctor who cares with the following.

It remains to be seen whether he will renew again, but it's a start.

I hope this is helpful to others as well.

I am with Kaiser and have an appointment with a dr on wednesday. We have been going in the medical merrigoaround for a year now as I have been trying to tell them I am sick with Lyme.

I just got test results back from Igenex that show positive for lyme, babesia and erlichia. But I am not sure if Kaiser will "buy" the test results from there.

These are good articles though and I will take them with me.

Thanks!
