Well, they admit it exists, although rare. However, they said 2 or 3 times how much more prevalent it is in Ontario and BC. Go figure!Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08894669925732022458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032680752522787900.post-76330113489430024712009-11-15T11:25:35.943-08:002009-11-15T11:25:35.943-08:00Wow! What a great segment they did on Lyme Disease...Wow! What a great segment they did on Lyme Disease!! Super duper terrific. My heart goes out to those all over who are suffering from Lyme and being mis-diagnosed. It is a tough road to travel. <br /><br />I went from doctor to doctor for 7 years and was mis-diagnosed and told there was nothing wrong with me over and over again. I knew I was sick and so did my family and friends. Doctors couldn't find anything wrong on my labs. All the while my life was slipping away. Quite a few doctors suspected Lyme and ran the tests -- the run of the mill tests and they came back negative -- no positive Elisa or bands. Therein lies the biggest flaw of all. Doctors need to learn to be doctors again and treat the patient, not the labs.<br /><br />Finally, in Dec 2007, went to an LLMD and was diagnosed with Lyme and co-infections. More sensitive labs verified it is Lyme.<br /><br />Hope this news story opens eyes and ears for the medical community in Canada. Also hope some suffering can be shortened by patients finding answers by watching this.<br /><br />Terrific job! ~KaraKarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540253405630085694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032680752522787900.post-26492533526058801052009-11-15T08:11:57.894-08:002009-11-15T08:11:57.894-08:00Well said Shannon. I sent a note as well - I'...Well said Shannon. I sent a note as well - I'm sure their inbox will be overflowing!! Their report was excellent and, if nothing else, gives viewers insight into the world of the lymies and what they go through. Maybe someone with the power to make changes watched the episode and is thinking hmmmmm!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032680752522787900.post-41638331681499099742009-11-15T03:41:26.316-08:002009-11-15T03:41:26.316-08:00I am so sorry to hear of your continued struggles ...I am so sorry to hear of your continued struggles for diagnosis and treatment for yourself and child.<br /><br />I found your blog through Rennee's I too have Lyme Disease although 100% on antibiotics nearly so one of the lucky ones. Here in UK things are getting worse as our Health Authority is trying to shut down the handful of private doctors currently treating lyme agressively as it so often needs.<br />This was an excellent letter and post.<br /><br />Best wishes with your struggles.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905137222286141548noreply@blogger.com
