I'm blessed by their education. I just had to share this with you ignorant people. None of you are sick unless the ID said you were.

I guess that means their are no AIDS specialists, just IDs. And no Testicular Cancer specialists, just urologists. And no Colitis or Chrohn's specialists, just GI docs. The head of our hospital tried to argue this point, so I asked how many doc's go to Medical School then pick Chrohn's as their specialty? He said none, in school. Ah Ha!

Of course there is no "Lyme" specialty being taught in Med school. It's one disease. All doctors veer their general specialties to more specific diseases during their practice.

But my degree is not in medicine! These are the idiots responsible for treating our war heroes!

Everyone pray that all military and most civilian doctors forget everything they learned! Then I can be made well again!!!!!!!!!!

LLMD is officially an acronym of curse in my hospital. FU** is a kinder word to these doctors.

Thanks. Venting.

It is so damn frustrating.

When or better yet if you can find a Lyme specialist you may get better. Or the IDSA, insurance company, or even your pharmacist will complain about your doctor and they can lose their license. In my area the CDC estimates 50% of the deer tics are infected. Yet there is no such thing as lyme disease in our area.

I am not crazy. You are not crazy. But I do believe this whole cluster F*** is a disgrace.

Sadly there are a lot of Veterans, including myself, and other innocents in the path of IDSA's greed and absolute lack of ethics. Watch the "Under Our Skin" documentary.

I won't even get started. ID's are the least educated in my opinion. Sheep.

Continue your fight to get well, Denise

My favorite line from Greece, "If you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter"! (get it? Jock strap.) Stupid, but I love it because I can no longer be an athlete. I'm just a jock strap now.

Well, I go see LLMD number 2 on Monday. This guy diagnosed President Bush, but TRICARE (my insurance) said he wasn't qualified enough for me???

So I went Congressional on their butt (Like 7 times)! They will look at his diagnosis, but won't give me his treatment protocol because he isn't an ID. Remember the Geico caveman commercial when he says, "Uh.....What?!?!?!?!"

Anyway, thanks again,

Keep fighting for your right to get well....

Peace,

I can't wait to hear how Monday's meeting goes - keep us posted!

Now I have it too, go figure, so I'm madder than ever and more determined to help educate whenever I can.

Hope Mon. goes well for you.
