Thanks for posting this. I'll have to get ready to lie down to listen - just a hint for others so as not to get too tired sitting up for a hour.

Thanks for posting this link.

And thanks to NPR and Diane Rehm for doing this show!

Any press that discusses the difficulties like this is at least somewhat helpful.

It is so baffling to me

how all this has gone on as long as it has

decades of suppression!!!

I know, had I known that the tests were so
insensitive

I would have likely "caught" the diagnosis at least a decade earlier than I did,

Whether I contracted a new infection on top of the untreated old one,

or not.

I listened today; it was great. And yes, thank you to Pam W. for all her dedication. She's better, she could have just moved on but she didn't...a blessing for us.
