I just watched "under our skin", a documentary on Lyme's disease. I bring it up because it's considered a political disease, as much as CM or CFS.  Doctors who have treated chronic Lyme's patients have lost their licenses and/or been driven into bankruptcy;others have quit before their lives were ruined.

The narrator said that most lawsuits against doctors are brought by insurance companies!

It was bound to happen at some point--they are right in my yard--but I have had the most bizarre several months even w/o Chiari surgery!

Btw, it's like having the flu, except no congestion.  They treat it right away now, don't wait for test results.
