Heartbreaking! IMO it wouldn't hurt to look into a Lyme dx. What does she have to lose? And she has so much to regain!

I was a real neuro mutt with many MS, ALS and Parkie symptoms. My Parkie type symptoms included-
tremors chorea in left hand writhing kind chorea major got real real SLOW micrography
I wrote the site- and the writer- and posted this- Lyme-Associated Parkinsonism: A Neuropathologic Case Study
years back I spoke on the phone with a purely Parkie presenting woman who a doc in CA was treating who had walked for first time in 4 years when I spoke to her(*)!)(! But she knew a few Parkie presenting Lymies personally in her same town which shall remain nameless because her brave Lyme doc started treating people from the local Parkie support gorup who saw her improvement and wanted it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never forget her. She was crying with joy-

Thanks for sending letters. I sent some research articles as well and asked that they be sent to the family. Hopefully the letters will encourage the family to take her to a LLMD.

Perhaps there are easy to catch ticks in baseball field grass, especially when You spend so much time there.

Actually this is the same girl. Click on the links at the news site for more pictures.
I did write to the author. Hopefully he will forward the files I sent him on lyme to the family.
I also posted on the blog at the papers site. With a little luck and alot of prayer she may find what is wrong with her.
The truth is that we tend to look at everything and think that it has to be lyme. I know that not everyone will have lyme...
However it does intrigue me that she manifested early tremors and they have not been able to find a diagnosis for her symptoms. Sounds like lyme...
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers for this child.
kindly,
Julia
