Out of 229 diseases or conditions that money is spent on research for, Lyme is only in 50th place.

Did that make sense?

Ok... 179 diseases or conditions get more research money than Lyme ... out of 229 diseases/conditions listed here.

Interesting to see that "Autoimmune" diseases get a bunch more in research funding than Lyme.

That's where the money is boys.

And of course, that is because there is no such thing as chronic Lyme disease.

And here I thought you were going to say as compared to a cup of coffee.

I know - we probably have half the list they fund. That way we can get funded.

And you know who gets the funding for Lyme research anyway! Same old, same old.

How do you read this anyway? Is that in the thousands or what?

You guys notice how Tinny comes in and stirs the pot? Gets people angry enough to start stirring pots politically!

She's good!!!! That's our TinCup.

You a funny one, you are, fo sure!

I admit many of the posts I toss on here are ones I find while researching and that is due to having to wade through the garbage put out by the idiots.

But rather than tease me, you should be sending me a new pair of wading boots!

I'm up to my armpits in idiot garbage and need to wade through it every day!

It's a swamp of ugly and I'm stuck in the middle, with you!

[lol]

PS. Glad you are back. I think I saw some posts by others on behalf of you. But not to worry, they said nice stuff.

I know your boots are waist high or higher. Most likely up to your ears.

I admire your drive to continue the fight for yourself and everyone else involved in this nightmare.

I'm sure you're going to be in DC in May rally? That one is closer to home than any so far. I've been thinking?

Someday I want to be just like you Tinny. A walking talking fighting lyme & co machine.

Go girl!
