★☆☆☆☆ Dear IDSA; Because of your outdated and seriously flawed Lyme Disease diagnostic and treatment guidelines, I was not properly diagnosed, even after bringing the tick that bit me to my state health agency. I am from Lyme CT, the most endemic area of the U.S. and still, doctors are fearful to diagnose me, seven years later, and now very ill. I had a rash, all the tell tale symptoms, and now LESIONS on my brain, and still IDSA doctors are saying I am suffering from anxiety! My life could have gone so differently. Instead, because of the corruption and denial, my life, and my son's will never be the same. I went from SIX FIGURES TO FOOD STAMPS because I was too sick to work and my Long Term Disability claim was denied BECAUSE OF YOUR GUIDELINES. MY SON AND I WENT HOMELESS, because my insurance wouldn't pay for treatment due to your guidelines. My son and I are now hungry and eating only one meal a day because of your guidelines, my SS disability has been denied, I am much too sick to work, and am PENNILESS, all because of your refusal to revise your guidelines! I don't know how you sleep at night; I am not just a number, but a mom, a sister, a daughter and now an advocate; I dedicate my life to bringing change and awareness to the corruption. Just wait until this happens to you or a loved one….you will be looking to us for advice on how to get well; a short course of antibiotics will not cut it! PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND REVISE THESE GUIDELINES. RECOGNIZE THE TRUTH AND STOP THE LIES!
