I just wanted to tell everyone to contact WebMd regarding their Lyme information here:

http://arthritis.webmd.com/tc/lyme-disease-treatment-overview

It's such a poorly written article that misinforms and downplays there seriousness of untreated Lyme.

I've heard several people say that we're all faking it because WebMD said you only need 6 weeks of antibiotics. Demand that they change their outdated information!

I agree, having lyme disease and reading that description, the two just don't seem to go together very well. It definitely might be worth trying to get that changed - it's so unnerving how anyone can write anything on the internet these days...

I've had primarily neurological problems most of my life from lyme, so for me when I see these things about arthritis, arthritis, arthritis and in rare cases neurological problems I think, "uh, that's not what lyme is..."
