Chronic Lyme Disease has reached epidemic proportions. It is the great imitator, fooling doctors into treating patients for other diseases such as Chronic Fatigue, MS, Heart Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psychiatric Illness, ALS, etc. Yet, according to the CDC, it “does not exist”.
It has been clinically diagnosed in every state and touches many issues including Climate Change. As sufferers of the disease and its surrounding politics, we urgently request:
1. Legislation Expanding the Definition of Lyme Disease to Cover Chronic Lyme and Co-infections
2. Increased Funding for Research into Chronic Lyme Disease and Co-infections
3. Improved Testing
4. Educating MDs & Public re: Symptoms and Treatment
The US can become a leader in this global issue. The American people need your help.
