Clicked on his email address and nothing happened for me. Course, I do still have dial-up and maybe that's why.

Thank God, an unbiased opinion from someone who knows what they're talking about!

Hey Beverly!!!!

And I WAS thinking about you!

I also sent Dr. V a thank you and recieved back a very nice reply almost immediately. He also answered a question I had in great detail. He certainly seems like a very caring man [Smile]

Posted by bettyg (Member # 6147) on :

yes, i wrote him last night or was it today, and got this great reply back about my LOW VISION so i couldn't read his pdf document.

"Thank you for your kind remarks.

If you had optic neuritis it's a rare complication of untreated borreliosis.

Since you seem computer literate, try increasing the font size for easier reading.

Sincerely,
David Volkman, Ph.D., M.D.
Emeritus Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics

i sure didn't know he was kids dr at STONY BROOK! [Smile]

how wonderful of him to write us all back.

editing: i showed his comments above about EYESIGHT since we have so many folks with vision problems; some i know personally here have LOST a great deal of eyesight to lyme.

that's why i posted this here for a "WAKE UP" moment; maybe that's what is wrong with my vision and to get to eye specialist to check it out.

fyi only...bg
