Like the Scarlett Pimpernel (excuse spelling was never my strongest subject).<br /><br />I got as far as Trebah gardens before I decided to start at the begining.<br /><br />I do hope you and anyone else browsing take time also to read the links into Lyme Disease. It is such a complete cock up going on and will have such significance to many auto immune illnesses. With all the intrigue and controversay I cannot understand why the media haven't got on board it will be the scoop of a life time in UK. Lots in the news in the States but they've caused the problem. Money ,money, money and greed and arrogance., but so much science that supports why long term antibiotics are necessary for some people.<br /><br />The information on my blog hardly scratches the surface.<br /><br />I know I get cranky but when you have suffered so much pain that you want your life to end and then after many months of treatment you start to improve month on month with many ups and downs, you cannot understand how doctors can be in such denial or dictated to by HPA a handful of microbiologists that are involved with the people in USA who were discredited by legal action, after they wrote the IDSA guidelines limiting treatment on antibiotics.<br /><br />No wonder those of us who recover our health are so passionate about raising awareness. Many are infact doctors and their families or other medical people, obviously their training puts them in a better position to understand their symptoms and treatment response.<br /><br />What's wrong with journalists are they not capable of real investagative journalism of the callibre Pam Weintraube has done see links at the top. MP's expenses was hardly a surprise how many people in business do the same?<br /><br />Figures were just released for UK cases of Lyme Disease confirmed by tests. 817 for 2008 but it is generally accepted that the figures are 10x that as how many people are even aware of the poppy sized tick or even know about lyme disease sometimes it can be years before symptoms really deteriorate. Many of the people I talk to have been ill more than 10 years, myself 6 so if we are conservative and multiply by 5 that is currently 40,600 at any given time. Some suspect the figure could be much higher.<br /><br />One day this will become in the public domain but how many more people must suffer, when 6 weeks of antibiotics could prevent years of ill health.<br /><br />What of the children living with chronic ill health of no known cause have they ever properly been assessed for Lyme Disease.<br /><br />Gardeners and horticultralists are warned by their employers but children run around on the edge of the woods and roll in the long grass parents unaware of any possible dangers.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905137222286141548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981923768479808158.post-67118244770564817542009-05-21T16:09:30.476+01:002009-05-21T16:09:30.476+01:00Hiya Joanne,
