Hi All,
I thought this could be a really good read for many people. It gets into the details of things, yet has little paragraphs in each section titled "What this means" for those who have a difficult time understanding the more technical stuff. I haven't read through the whole thing, but thought it was still worth sharing.

www.lymeneteurope.org/info/the-complexities-of-lyme-disease "Lyme Disease is a multi-system disease which can affect virtually every tissue and every organ of the human body. It is a disease which can be mild to some, and devastating to others. It can cripple and disable, or fog your mind. It can affect men, woman, and children, and even your family dog. (1-5,7-19) You may test negative for the disease, and still have it, or test positive and be symptom free. Some will get symptoms within days of a tick bite, while others may have it for years before they are even diagnosed. Some Lyme patients are told they have fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, MS, or some other disease of unknown origin. (See abstracts of the 1996 International Lyme Conference) There are some studies which strongly support that the infection can be transmitted from mother to the unborn fetus, and may even cause still birth and has been implicated in some SIDs deaths.
