"Before I found this site I felt so alone. Watching my daughter struggle with IH and being treated like she had two heads from doctors. I have plenty of family and friends but there was nobody that really knew what she was going through.
I not only have support and love from others who will listen and share their
story, but I have made some forever friends. Having this support site does make a difference to many." (djfilippone)

Got an interesting phone call on Friday from someone from my local Health Department. Tried calling the person back today but they were not in the office. Just curious if any of you have ever received a call from your local health department.

Hmm...strange.

Julie4848	My call was not from the doctor but the health department saying "your doctor called and informed us you have lyme" They wanted to know where I got the tick from....My own back yard...

Reading that puts the red flags up for me...please be VERY careful.... Yes, I've already thought about this. If they ask questions about who is treating me or who my doctor is I'm not telling them a thing. I haven't received a phone call back. I'll let you know what I find out.

Julie4848	My call from them did not even question anything about my doctor..THey just wanted to make sure I was getting treatment....

lbetson Posts: 52 Member	I just got off the phone with them. They basically wanted to know when I got bit and if I was being treated. Did not ask me anything about my doctor. They said that doctors report these types of infections to the state and they wanted to verify this with me. Previous discussions I participated in: What's BUGGING Me! Salt/Vitamin C protocol new guy
