I don't know if this has been posted here yet, but I felt this was one of the best articles written in a long time that tells it like it is and tells so many of our stories at the same time.
I'm in remission right now, but this still brought tears to my eyes since it is so accurate and hits the nail on the head.

Nice to have a writer like Amy Tan express it so well.

Yes, I was extremely impressed with the way she was able to give a pretty full picture of what we go through even just trying to get tested and then once we do.
Although she is a professional writer, that title doesn't stop all writers from totally botching it up, so when I saw how well this was written, I had to share.

Great article. I wonder who her doctor is and what antibiotics she is taking.

Ellen,
For obvious reasons, I know she has to be very evasive and quiet as to WHO her doctor is or what medications she is on or has been on in the past.
But yes, I'm sure it has crossed most of our minds that we do wonder these questions.

Here's an article about Amy Tan and her doctor. Since it was in People magazine, I don't think it's outing anyone:

Judie, What a great article. Thank you for posting. And you are right....if it is officially out there in print, we know that she cleared it with the doctor.
Thank you for the added information.

Wow, I just noticed that she set up a charity called "Lyme Aid4Kids." There's a website with grants for diagnosis.
