 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.

 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...

 Larry..

Just be careful...sometimes our beloved LLMD's are crucified by the local health depts...and I know your doc, and the last thing anyone needs is for something to go wrong...

Reading that puts the red flags up for me...please be VERY careful....

I know what I am and I know what I am not

Never put it past this disease to be the culprit - but we also cant brainwash ourselves into believing that it is the only thing

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.

 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.
