Millions of teens in this country receive 250mg of Tetracycline daily, so they wouldn't have to live with PIMPLES...
BUT Can you look millions of Lyme disease sufferers in the eyes and point to each, one at a time and say:
YOU! Sorry, but you will have to die.
YOU! You will lose your eyesight.
YOU! You will lose your ability to walk
YOU You will lose all muscle control, live unable to hold your your head up on your own, or control your eye movement.
Victoria's family ran out of money for treatment. You HAVE TO SEE THIS.
It's long, but watch minutes 7 to 10. NO ONE with a HEART and a CONSCIENCE could let this happen to a child, knowing it was avoidable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_qpXlJCNQc
If you think Lyme Disease is no big deal, think again...
" Lyme disease is growing at four times the rate of AIDS and is quickly becoming our nation's most misdiagnosed and fastest-growing infectious disease. Educating the public and physicians regarding the disease and the progression of treatment is essential. People are becoming permantly disabled and some are losing their livelihood and their lives."
Forgot to add that this girl is from NH and is very ill again! Please keep her and her family in your prayers....I wish there was a place for donations or something?
Take Care, Ann

Thats what I don't get either. Why is it ok to be on long term antibiotics for acne or be put on accutane for acne which is a very powerful drug but they don't want to give it to you for lyme or even why insurances and drs will give you antidepressants for long term. It just doesn't make sense.

Because in their hearts, the powers that be know that the number of people that may have TBIs is enormous and a massive financial liability.

I tried to look up the name and everything and still no luck. I wish they would set up a sight for donations. So sad that she was getting better and then they ran out of money for treatments...sickening!

Oh, this was so heartbreaking. It made me cry. It's very moving.

Hi, I will, when I realized she is from NH it made it even more personal to me. I sent an e-mail to NH chronicle asking if they might do a story. I am going to try writing to the papers as well.
Take Care, Ann
