I have had Lyme disease since 2002 and am currently going thru IV therapy. Just got through a divorce and I am on the verge of bankruptcy. Cashed out my retirement to go on an extended IV antibiotic program as this is not covered by insurance. Such a sad situation for all of us Lymies. My friends don't understand how I could go from being an articulate female to sounding like I am brain dead half the time. It's like constipation of the mind. My doctor is moving to Washington, DC as this is one location that protects Lyme-literate doctors. He and another Lyme specialist actually helped me write a brochure for my area. I offer this brochure on youtube under : Lyme disease brochure.
