Lymepickle - Are you talking about
the Women's clinic? If it's the one I'm thinking about
...great expectations...but not delivered.
Even before it
opened, there were Lyme groups boycotting it. Apparently they were saying that the treatment wasn't going to be much different than what the MD's were already prescribing - few weeks of abx.
I read something online about
a Dr. who left the clinic..apparently she was taking too long with her patients (I think it was a 2 hour appt.) and the waitlist to get in was getting too big. So, they never said if she quit...or was let go....but reading between the lines, I think they didn't like her lengthy appts. with patients. She said that to fully evaluate a patient with a chronic illness, she needs a long appointment. Good on her.
Mike: I know what you mean - I don't feel normal. I didn't realize how much I liked the old me until the old me was gone.
Maybe that's another indicator that we definitely have Lyme disease. I have never heard of another disease that affects one's sense of self as this has. I have heard several people describe themselves as a "shell" of their former self. Sad, really. It doesn't have to be this way.
I haven't even told everyone in my life that I may have Lyme disease. The last person I told - her answer was, "Now where would you have gotten that?" We live in a small city surrounded by forests.
It is still being kept a secret that it even exists in BC.
