LYME DISEASE ACTION ON FACEBOOK

It is good to see Lyme Disease Action spreading awareness of this disease through Facebook.

The Lyme disease review panel of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) has released its long-awaited final report following an enforced review of the controversial 2006 Lyme disease guidelines, which are also used in the UK.

If you have like me Fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, Arthritis, Muscle weakness, Musculo Skeletal Disease, Polymyalgia Rheumatica diagnosis then do follow the above links and have a good read because who knows doctors could be missing other cases of undiagnosed Lyme Disease as they did with me for 4 years. Now diagnosed with Lyme disease and after many months of long term antibiotics I am nearly 100% with no pain, no disability, no Arthritis or Muscle Weakness and able to enjoy my garden again.

Lyme Disease can present as Neurological symptoms and be mis diagnosed as MS, MN, Parkinson's, Autism, ADHD, OCD.

It can also cause problems with the heart and the brain and any organ or system in the body depending where the infection goes.
