Guest guest Posted June 14, 1999 Report Share Posted June 14, 1999 Hi Kay, I am so sorry your poor daughter has been sick for so long and only just diagnosed. I am also sorry that you had to put up with that condescending doctor at Tufts....and he was the best of the worst!!!! And he had the nerve to charge you for blood work he did not draw??? The high dosage of amoxicillin your daughter is on, should show some results, is there any special reason why she must wait till the Fall to start IV? I am assuming you have finally found a Lyme literate doctor who is treating her....is that right??? I am curious what the doctors attributed her MRI results to, if they kept denying Lyme disease, what diagnosis' did they throw at you? My heart goes out to any mother who has a child with Lyme disease, it is so devastating to watch your child suffer and not be able to help, please keep us posted as to her progress.

Hi Kay, I see we share the same birthday. I know several people who have the same birthday, and I'm told that is unusual. Most people don't know one, who shares their birthday. Anyway, Welcome to our little place on the net. I'm quite familiar with Lyme Disease (I know a few people with it, including my sister), but the other two mentioned above are new to me. Do you care to tell us a little about them? Symptoms/treatments? >7) Webpage: no webpage but just opened ><mailto:lyme-informationegroups>lyme-informationegroups I'll pass this on to my sister, when she gets back from vacation.
