    Patricia condemned to life of hell as NHS refuse to recognise Lyme disease

    Not only do I live in the UK, I also work for the NHS and gave done for over 10 years so I do have an understanding in how the organization works now. With the cutbacks the government as initiated over the years, the problem is only going to get worse and worse in the future aswell, and not...

    People thinking you're faking it?

    That's exactly what the problem is, and the more people that fake illness, the more people that actually are ill get ignored. The genuinely ill people have to then go on to try and prove that they need the help when really that's the last thing they should be worrying about. Unfortunately I...

    Genetically engineered mice could fight Lyme Disease

    But surely in some way what the scientists are doing is going to benefit us humans in the long run, even if their findings and what they achieve doesn't impact on us directly? Any research is a good thing in my opinion, and even if it doesn't lead to any help for us, with a bit of luck the...

    Lyme disease maps

    At the end of the day, no matter how accurate or not these maps are, what they're doing is providing people with a rough guide on where the majority of cases are but not only that it IS raising peoples awareness if the disease in the first place. Even now, not many people know about Lyme...

    Calls for Lyme disease inquiry to resume with new Parliament

    I think that the only way that this disease is going to be officially recognised is if more and more governments throughout the world do start to be more open about Lyme disease and the effects it has on people. No good is going to come out of sticking their head in the sand, that's for sure...

    Here's how to know if you have Lyme disease

    While the graph and the thread is obviously helpful and interesting, with Lyme disease unfortunately it's not that simple. As you say, a lot of the symptoms can be brought on by other illnesses and that's also another reason why Lyme diseases isn't getting diagnosed as and when it should do.

    People thinking you're faking it?

    I do think that there probably is a few people that are faking their illness, and of course that makes it a lot harder for the genuine cases to get the help they need. When it comes to any illness, many people are sceptical about something that they don't know much about. Unfortunately it's a...

    Patricia condemned to life of hell as NHS refuse to recognise Lyme disease

    I'm from the UK and while I do think we have one of the best health services in the world, money does have a lot of influence on the NHS and hearing that it won't recognise Lyme disease doesn't come as much of a surprise to me. I'm sure it's not the doctors or nurses that are on the front line...

    Kris Kristofferson Has Lyme Disease, Not Alzheimer's

    Unfortunately I think people getting misdiagnosed is just something that for now, we are going to have to learn to live with. Even the greatest doctors in the world who are looking after the richest people in the world get it wrong sometimes and I don't think we can blame the doctors either...

    Genetically engineered mice could fight Lyme Disease

    Another thing to look out for when it comes to using animals to test on, is the fact that no matter something might react with an animal, that doesn't always necessarily mean it will have the same effect on us humans. There's always a certain amount of caution when scientists are looking into...
