Lyme Disease & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - A Patient-Researcher's Perspective

[PlateletGal]

This is a great article from prohealth, a website for people who have CFS/ME. It talks about lyme disease and how many people in the UK have been misdiagnosed as having CFS/ME, when they actually had lyme instead !

This is an excellent article -- well said and full of information.

(It also outlines the perils of the government having control over who and what diseases are worthy of treatment ... )

Thank you, Platelet Gal.

An excerpt from the article:

"Borrelia has been isolated in human body fluids such as semen, tears and urine, in unpasteurized cow's milk, and even found in African dust."

And I'm happy that the article recognizes that it isn't only ticks now who can spread lyme disease. I think it was Dr. David A. Jernigan who said that there were 6 mosquitos in the U.S. who tested positive for borrelia.
