I've been doing a lot of reading to try to understand this stuff -- it's true that almost nothing has changed. I want to know whose agenda is behind the massive dissemination of false information, etc.
This stuff really gets my blood boiling.

Interesting that the doctor in 1993 alleges that their actions rise to the level of conspiracy. When I first heard of that possibility, I dismmissed it as nonsense. After all, these physicians and scientists were "the best and brightest" and worked out of the leading medical schools in the nation, even the world. The more I read, and the more I learned, the more I became convinced that Lyme was a great deal more than a medical controversy. My view now, given the major players and their backgrounds, is that a national security issue is at the core of the conspiracy.

Thanks for the link. I don't remember reading this presentation by Dr. B before. I've wondered the same thing the past year or so. I think there's an unspoken truce about this with a lot of insurance companies. If the "I" word is not brought up -- intravenous -- the company will pay for extended treatment. The hardest part is when the LLMP feels you need to try something that is not yet in generic. I'm tired of spending 10k a year in medical/supplemental. And very grateful I can do it, though it draws money from my retirement nut. Gonna have to work longer to make the $$$ up.
I tried a different tack when I wrote a Texas state representative who had active Lyme 12 years ago and still has the after-effects in his remission -- I pointed out that the state medical funds, and welfare/medicaid are going to have to pay for the people who go chronic because they get missed, they are damaged and many can never work 40 hours a week again.
Eventually some politican will rise up and demand better screening for this disease. If no one does, chronic Lyme will explode on the news like a meteor strike. And people will wonder why no one ever said anything? Why the public is paying for all this? It's like HIV -- insurance never gambled on long-term chronic disease that can be improved/held off but not cured (or the patient dying.)

fyi, after seeing & copying this to my software, I reformatted it with shorter paragraphs, etc. and started another post about this since the longer paragraphs are hard for us chronic lymies to read/comprehend without more double spaces in the text.
If anyone is interested, do a search on my number, 6147. to see if it comes up or not.

How do you search on a number? All these 3$%#!@ flashing icons, I haven't found where to type in a search.
Having a bad day and not in the mood to push it further.

I just heard on the radio yesterday, that this whole mess is going to get "HARDER" to deal with rather than easier.
It wasnt lyme specific, but rather abx negative, where docs are prescribing all these abx unnecessary and should be more careful with "accepted" and "proven" abx therapy.
I thought to myself at the time, how little they know sometimes, "WE" will suffer big time for this. I am sure thats what is driving the Texas LLMD's out of state. And alot of others in other states.
Doctors are not "allowed" to think out of the box any more. Who wants to spend the years of medical school and money THAT costs, get out and going and risk getting shut down by idiots who dont know lyme from lemonaide. Just because its "RIGHT", according to peer reviewed practice.
What ever happened to research and 'best experienced practice' with getting lyme cared for. All the 'expert' docs say in regard to lyme is to 'catch' it early and give it the book treatment and you are fine. But they wouldnt 'know' it if it slapped them up side the face. Easy to diagnose???I dont think so, or they would. Easy to treat, even worse.
How do we get the 'word' out in concrete terms, that there IS lyme here (anywhere) so ducks will quit quacking and get to treating, even miserably poor, but better than nuttin'
The real problem, as I see it is ducks have reliable(or so we are told) tests for everything else they see day to day. When they SEE this they think they can test and THAT is reliable too. So they get lulled into if I cant test positive, then you dont have it, AND all labs can rightly do a GOOD test.
As I see it, the powers to be think we as such a minority, are just disposable because we are few in number and even fewer in voice. There is a military name for that but cant remember it right now. Oh yeah, ""collateral damage.""
There is consideable info saying AIDS didnt come from Africa. It came from somebodies experiemnets here, but you dont hear anything about that either. What we need are "INSIDE" informants in those top secret bio-warfare labs all around the states. How to accomplish, dont know.
I really think the awareness of lyme has come forward a giant leap,,, and medical treatment has taken a major step backward with all the threats to ducks.

Hi Don!
I had a customer a while back that was a college student. She said she had had Lyme. I was telling her if the symptoms came back she needed to get treated, bla, bla, bla--she just staied at me like I was an idiot--her and her friends knew all about Lyme.
So maybe when all the "old" bad guys die--we can get some action--the next generation seems receptive.
