Every weekend from Memorial Day to Labor Day Thousands of New Yorkers leave the Hot Sweaty City and sit in traffic to spend a little bit of time at the beach (Fire Island to Montauk) or the more laid back upstate NY.
I have been making this trek for 30yrs. and have heard many lyme stories from fellow passengers on the long weary ride home. Now that I have a Lyme diagnosis it occured to me that I never asked any of them where they went for their treatment
It boggles my brain to be in one of the best cities in the world for medical treatment But I cant find a doctor to test me for co-infections. Huh?
A few years ago in a Neurologists office with a friend I asked about Lyme Disease. This Dr. told me that there were cases of Lyme disease in Manhattan in people who had never left town.
I thought about his for a long time, birds I guessed. And then today it hit me, all those people on the train and bus with their dogs running through the brush in Montauk. Where do they go when when they get home? Central Park. Exactly where all those people who cant get away go- just never thought about ticks being in Central Park before. (duh)
Anyway thousands of people are sick and I so far I cannot find a Doctor in this city.... Sad.
