Lyme Disease Awareness Month for Illinois is in May, there

have some changes since being enacted in May 2009.

Dottie Heffron with the Illinois Lime Disease Network says

Governor Pat Quinn has made two significant changes to the

proclamation. The proclamation now states that there is no

reliable testing for Lyme disease, leaving it to be missed

diagnosed as another disease. "Lyme disease is a clinical

diagnosis, and they should be treating on clinical symptoms.

So when the patient goes to see the doctor, and presents 'I

have this, this, and this', then they should refer to that,

and go ahead and treat them for Lyme disease with an

antibiotic, or if they are going to do it holistically,

however the patient wants to be treated, depending on their

symptoms", said Heffron.
