Ticked Off at the medical community
Lyme-disease awareness group tries to put spotlight on chronic cases

By Taryn Plumb
Globe Correspondent / September 13, 2009

``I can't throw a ball with my son,'' said Ed Quinlan, a 48-year-old from Westford who has been sick for more than two years. ``It gets harder and harder to walk every day.''

Just what ails them, though, is up for rancorous debate.

Quinlan and other members of Ticked Off, a support group based in Groton, say they are afflicted with a chronic or recurring form of Lyme disease, an illness caused by bacteria-carrying ticks. They want recognition of their ailment from the medical community, as well as easier access to what they call Lyme-literate doctors and the medications that they say have helped them. In their quest, they have gained the support of a Groton lawmaker who has filed a bill designed to protect physicians who treat patients for long-term Lyme disease.
