Chronic Lyme KILLS. It ruins lives. It tears families apart and empties life savings. So when a primary care doctor I've just met asks me if my SPECIALISTS IVE SEEN FOR TWO YEARS were SURE what I had was really Lyme after exclaiming that I was on a lot of medications (I hadn't even told her the supplements), it was hard not to lose it especially after she said "well you hear of those Lyme loons who diagnose their patients with Lyme, put them on tons of meds and take all their money". 😑After being diagnosed I have poured my heart, soul, brain, and life into understanding what makes Lyme disease and it's co-infections tick and how they affect so many people and animals. It is a physicians JOB to stay updated on current medical research and news. The fact that I have to explain the disease (and how I know so much) to my own doctors is most of the time just mildly annoying, but today after all that I've been through these past few months it was enough to make me have a panic attack on the way home. All I could think of was what about those patients who don't know better than to fully trust that their doctor knows all? What about the guy who was on deaths door a couple years ago with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's and MS (who was now walking into my Lyme doctor's office and forming full sentences) if someone that cared about him didn't stop to think that it may be something else? It angers and depresses me that this is the current healthcare system. Patients are dying and suffering while this disease gets more and more political. Research SHOWS chronic lyme is not a lie, long term antibiotics are a vital portion of the treatment regimen, and lyme is passed congenitally. Patients aren't lying or making it up when they say they're suffering. And I won't even start on the co-infections and their difficulties. 😡😡#fedup #tired #tickborneillness #ticks #vectorborne #lyme #lymedisease #lymefighter #idsaguidelinesharmpatients #lymedvmstats #lymediseaseawarenessmonth #lymediseaseawareness #lymediseasewarrior #chroniclyme #chronicpain #chronicillness

World Health Day 2014: Vector-Borne Diseases

This Monday, April 7, is World Health Day, marking the 66th anniversary of the founding of the World Health Organization (WHO). The theme for this year is vector-borne diseases, one of the greatest contributors to mortality and stagnant economic growth across the developing world, particularly in tropical contexts. Vector-borne illnesses such as malaria, Chagas, yellow fever and the lesser-known dengue fever and lymphatic filariasis, put more than half the world at risk according to the WHO. A measure of mortality only tells a fraction of the story. Victims who survive can be left permanently disfigured, debilitated, or blind. Infections not only create a serious public health crisis, but also exacerbate poverty by preventing people from working to earn an income. The control of vector-borne diseases is thus top priority for global health professionals as it is central to reducing the burden of disease, spurring economic growth, and improving the quality of life...Read More
