Lyme Disease is a serious chronic, under-recognized, under-treated epidemic infecting up to 250,000 people nationwide each year.
Lyme can affect people mentally & physically it can cause mild symptoms all the way to excruciating and disabling symptoms.
It is not uncommon for entire families to be infected with Lyme Disease. Since the treatment of Lyme varies widely, insurance companies take the position that ALL long-term treatment "is experimental" and thus falls outside of their coverage... For many it turns a treatable disease into a death sentence.
Lyme disease is not only caused by ticks it can also be passed on congenitally... Through blood transfusions, organ donations & possibly sexually.
Your Doctor is most likely not properly educated to correctly diagnose Lyme Disease... Most people see 10 to 40 MD's before being correctly diagnosed.
Only awareness and education of all Americans will begin to help the prevention of Lyme Disease.
