Disturbing story in the Chicago Tribune

A very disturbing article in the Chicago Tribune link below:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/health/ct-met-chronic-lyme-disease-20101207,0,5671843.story

I would encourage everyone who feels that they are getting helped by their Lyme Literate Dr. to write to the editor of the Chicago Tribune.  They need to hear the other side of Lyme.  Share your stories, your experiences with the editor, [email protected]. They need to hear MANY positive lyme stories. Lets email and mail them in. Lets have the Chicago Tribune Editor receive more mail than Santa this year!!!!   The address for the Chicago Tribune is 435 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611.

I should mention that this is being picked up nationally.  I saw it in the LA Times and others.  If you are able to even write an email I urge you to do it, they need to hear our stories!  KO

I sent an email to the editor of the Tribune, the editor of the LA times, and the authors of the article. I attached the following document:

Somehow, we need to figure out how to demand that the researchers/'Drs' who deny chronic lyme ---- in the name of SCIENCE, purposely infect themselves w/ Lyme and a co-infection or 2, and then treat themselves as they state we should or should not be treated.

How come the IDSA is not conducting studies like this?

CAjunGrl, I don't remember everything I've read, but thru all kinds of other causitive stuff, Lyme CAN lead to lymphoma. And the research I did on chronic EBV (which I bet most of us have, I do!) can lead to lymphoma.

We are being medically neglected to the extent of possibly death. And I am serious.

Thank you for posting the newspaper article.

I sent an email requesting an additional story be written on if its not chronic lyme then what do I have along

with hundreds of thousands of other people around the world with the same symptoms.

And what is the solution for us.

schmucks, i should ask my friend for a copy of her blod work from 2 weeks ago when she got bit by a tick sitting at her computer in southern arizona , 20 minutes from Nogales mex border. she tested positive for lyme and got on antibiotics immediately. all the birds migrate to this beautiful area, so ticks migrate all over the place right along with the birds
