| I'll feel bad until the day I die. I had a lady friend whom followed me
into
| the woods on a trip we hadn't any business taking. She has - even this
many
| year later, a number of symptoms such as fatigue and stiffness of joints.
| She has them bad enough to ensure that they have her in a wheelchair. She
| went with me while we stomped through the woods for a couple of days. She
| was, and is, a friend but a big girl who felt she couldn't tell us about
the
| feeling like something was biting her. We were kids, she went home - this
| was maybe 1995 and Lyme was barely heard of in Maine - and today she's
still
| screwed.
|
| We folks who, not for Lyme but for simplicity, swum and saw them and
pulled
| them off. We asked and she said no and she was one of the few females
there.
| She's been my friend since, still, and etc but, well, I'll ask - if
there's
| a place - for her to share besides here. Since then there are two things I
| strongly support... Breast cancer research (I'm a guy - duh! Support
that!)
| and awareness of Ticks. Err... My only other socially conscious thing to
do
| is give blood. (Err... And report SPAM.)
|
| You seem impassioned. Got a URL where I can send her? It won't help me.
I'm
| comfortable being guilty. I did tell her no - not to come with us on this
| trip. But no. I didn't, she didn't, no one expected her to say no. We
really
| did NOT know and you'd be amazed (well, maybe not you) how many people
still
| don't understand.
|
| The rest of us are fine. I'm not a doctor but she tested positive and is
| treated even still all these years later. She's 31 now and she's still
| having troubles walking all the time. It is serious enough to warrant all
| the attention it can get. If there's a URL where she can share her story
or
| something I'll tell her and she probably will.

If it help any the insrunc industry consider Lyme DX as a mental DX (it's
all in your head) to the extent that UNIM-Provident gamed a $12M study by
the CDC to their advantage (help them deny coverage to many claiments)
