LYME DISEASE

....is the most common tick-transmitted disease in the United States.
....is frequently misdiagnosed and can go undiagnosed for YEARS.
....had 153,852 cases reported to the [CDC] Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 1993-2002.
....can mimic many other illnesses and can bring on chronic infections due to the immune system being compromised. ....it is estimated that only 10% of patients with lyme ever see the target/bullseye rash.

If you have gone for years feeling ill, have gotten no solid diagnosis or have been diagnosed with just depression, chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia, and you have many of the symptoms on the lyme list, PLEASE consider getting yourself checked for Lyme Disease by a Lyme Litterate Medical Doctor [LLMD]! ~~~~ Mo

The Beatles
The Long And Winding Road (Lennon/McCartney)
The long and winding road....that leads....to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Leads me to your door

The wild and windy night....that the rain....washed away
Has left a pool of tears....crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way

Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried
Many days you'll never know the many ways I've tried

And still they lead me back....to the long....winding road
You left me standing here....a long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to you door

Still they lead me back....to the long....winding road
You left me standing here....a long, long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here
Lead me to your door

This song takes on a whole new meaning when you've been infected with lyme and undiagnosed. Now I know how my brother felt years ago when he first started fighting with it.
