The Infectious Disease Association of America, a group that was founded to be advocates for Lyme Disease victims has been corrupted by Health Insurance companies (Republican Enablers).

Please check out the link above and help spread the word.

Insurance companies have used their seemingly unlimited funds to buy off those who were expected to help the victims of Lyme.

I hope the election results will put some politicians in a position where they can help the victims of Lyme and defeat the concerted effort of Insurance companies and their minions.

2. My daughter has had it TWICE!

Ticks seem to like her most in the family and she has had it twice, once when she was 5 and again last spring. It's a horrible disease and I don't think you ever really stop the symptoms completely. She still complains of joint pains and headaches, more than a 14 year old should have.

4. Just Diagnosed!

I was just diagnosed with Lyme after two years of symptoms. Some Infectious Disease Association doctors are now getting $1k a day from Health Insurance companies to testify against doctors treating Lyme.

Connecticut Attorney General is filing an Anti-Trust Lawsuit!
