| Please click on "Lyme Update 2000"
for important developments. Lyme Disease or LD is a relatively "new"
disease. New in that the medical profession is on a steep learning curve
trying to understand and develop
courses of treatment. Even detection is still a problem with no
definitive tests available. Once the initial infection has been missed,
Chronic LD manifests itself with many
different symptoms that as a whole may be missed..
Please peruse the following pages carefully if you suspect something is
wrong wrong with you. To start I would recommend reading
Cathy Morrisey's article reprinted here
with her permission. Cathy and her family have been Lyme sufferers for
many years and she is devoting many hours to education and the political
aspects of LD. Thank you Cathy for your work.
