Hello people.

Nice to find this group, alhough it's of some concern to me....it proves that lyme disease is a serious threat and shouldn't be taken lightly, especially by people that have a lot of activity out in nature -- such as myself, I'm a school sports instructor and I'm often in field trips with my students. Is there an efficient way to prevent it, like a vaccine or something? I think prevention is the most important, and we should all be aware and informed, cause 'it won't happen to me' doesn't fool anybody anymore.

The Lymerix vaccine was (allegedly) "voluntarily removed from the market". In actuality it had the unfortunate effect of causing some patients to actually CONTRACT the illness, rather than prevent it.

livinhealthy,

please go to BETTY'S TIPS/ADVISE IN TIPS SECTION....

look for Betty/LDA brochure ... it's very detailed that I retyped from scratch and combined LDA's co-infections and added other things in there too.

think this will help your students on outings, etc. and for those who are hunters, etc. good luck!

Yes, that Lyme Vaccine has taken my life away! It has caused my life to do a 160 from where I was. That vaccine has taken almost everything from me in this life. I received my first of three shots when I was just 29 years old(May 2000), and since then I became sicker and sicker and doctors and others tried to shove it under the rug, pretending they did not know what was going on with me. I am 36 and in very bad shape. I used to body build for 13 years and do all kinds of active things, now I live in severe pain 24/7, my vision has went down 4 perscriptions in a around 5 years time, I walk with a cane, only about 5 -7 houses. I have horrible sweats, In 2007 I found out by a new doctor that I suffered a minor stroke, and have a lesion on my brain(that the origional doctor & neurologists said were fine), my new doctor was quite suprised no one had said anything because it showed on the MRI prior to the new one! I can't go outside in the heat, and a ton of other things to list. Anyone who has had this vaccine should seek, carefully, medical attetion. Also, they have this vaccine out for dogs, make sure your pets do not get this or any other Lyme vaccine!

[b][size=5][/size] dallocco,

i'm so sorry to read that you were given this horrible vaccine and what it has done to you and your body! thank you for sharing this painful/emotional experience with others so we can learn from each other.

May God do another 180 on you and get you back on the road to REMISSION!
