I am so sick of the suffering...reminds me of watching my Uncle's stomach swell up from damage related to AO... which was denied for years... same thing ... different name. I've had a bellyful of this shtuff!
When i say...same thing... i mean the denial of Doctors who are afraid or just ignorant < i tend to believe they are more afraid than anything. Afterall... the government can always afford bigger badder attorneys to get what they want.
But... one day that will change... and until then.
DO Not Ever Let Any Doctor make you feel bad because He Is Afraid of the Truth. You know the Truth...You live the Truth.

Meanwhile my Aunt gets a check to compensate for my Uncles suffering before he died... For a condition they said did not exist.

I'm gonna get off my soapbox now... "POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"

More and more I see MDs as I see car mechanics, waitresses, mail carriers… there are good ones and there are not very good ones. In some respects, we get what we get. When it comes to your health you'd be naive not to demand the best. Some people put more care and focus into their car than their medical care because, as a society, we've been cultured to accept, believe in and trust our doctors.

If your MD isn't up to speed but is willing to learn or accept outside info, you can help them grow. If not, run as fast as you can the other way. Then, I also like to follow up with them afterwards, confirming (w/ test results) what I tried to get them to understand. It's not to be confrontational as much as it is to encourage them to treat the next person with a little more professionalism.

Some of the bad MDs will never be reached.

Yes, P. - in every profession, there are good ones, and bad ones.

There are even some who are trying to be good, but just aren't good...lol - but they're better than the ones who are just denying lyme disease even exists....

That happened to me once, even though I had a picture of my huge bull's eye rash.

Next time that happens, I'm walking out.

my llmd holds like this lyme education things once a month and encourages his patients who have been misdiagnosed to tell their MD's to attend so he can basically inform them on how serious lyme n co infections are and how they need to be treated properly.....it makes me want to go back to the 5,6 doctors, 2 ID doctors n psychologist who all thought it was in my head,, and i know everyone has gone through something it makes you want to punch a doctor in the face when they tell you its in your head, when you were healthy before n this crap hits you out of no where

LOL ~ I've been through the same junk ! At one point, I looked at an uninformed, disbelieving doctor and said....

"Did someone actually SIGN that degree that's hanging on your wall ?!?!?!?" Then I walked out.

Next time it happens, ask the doctor if they have a dog or a cat. Does the vet recommend flea/tick prevention? Has the vet recommended the vaccine for Leptospirosis? Ticks can carry lyme and lepto.

My vet was concerned about Lyme at least 10 years ago. Our state is still a "there is no Lyme in the state". But human cases have been rising and there are about 10 counties which are considered endemic. The state overall numbers don't have enough cases to be considered endemic, but there are 100 counties and taken individually 10% taken alone are endemic.

A vet will tell you they see Lyme all the time.
