I would not have been diagnose...Yes, Lindsay, true. I would not have been diagnosed with Lyme so quickly had I had not a friend with the disease. Lyme wasn't even on my radar screen. She sent me to a Lyme-literate doc and a Lyme lab right away. I was so fortunate not to have to go the round of other doctors and a false negative standard test.~ Brandilyn Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771812607327238979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251937801878411892.post-6502667966053799072010-05-24T17:14:09.661-07:002010-05-24T17:14:09.661-07:00You hit the nail on the head!

I never thought of myself as courageous, especially then. I was just so angry at the dismissive attitude of the doctors I trusted... it was reminiscent of the days when they sent "hysterical" women away to "sanitariums"... gosh... I wonder how many of them had lyme disease? So I was so stubborn!!! LOL! I was not going stop until I had an answer, which I imagine is much like you... after 23 years of undx lyme there must have been a LOT of dismissive docs in your life!!! So let's be courageous together, okay... with everyone else here!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15832335151490704132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251937801878411892.post-28991363914769184582010-05-24T10:16:27.210-07:002010-05-24T10:16:27.210-07:00Donna
Your story is inspirational. Your courage a...Donna<br />Your story is inspirational. Your courage a great example for the rest of us who struggle to keep going with treatment. I had undiagnosed Lyme and coinfections for 23 yrs..so ill I could not take massive doses of abx...still cannot, but after 3 yrs I am still doing what I can. We cannot give up, like you said, and we do need to remember we are in the hands of God and are perfectly safe...I love that cd!<br />thank you and may God continue to bless you on journey of healing.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089685282700680525noreply@blogger.com
