I am guessing this was posted to argue that chronic lyme does not exist. We are all entitled to our opinions but this is not helpful to our discussion. Clearly they are many children on this forum with chronic lyme, my daughter being one of them.

Oh, I did not post this to say it doesn't exist. I'm sorry if it was taken that way. I was posting this so others can write to the person in the article and dispute that it DOES exist.

Sorry if I misunderstood your intention. I guess I am a little sensitive.

I thought that would be an odd thing to post and not in your nature to be unkind.

That's okay. I know I never posted on the Lyme board before. I post articles on the PANDAS board when people bad mouth us so we can stand united and defend our kids. I was trying to do the same for Lyme.

Thanks Vickie!

Thanks for posting this Vickie!

 

Here's the original story:

 

http://www.latimes.com/health/la-he-lyme-disease-20101227,0,668996.story

 

The story Vickie posted was a critique of the reporting in this original story in the L.A. Times. The subtitle on the L.A. Times story is "Most doctors agree chronic Lyme is a sham. Yet advocates are gaining ground."

 

Oh my, no bias there!!
