Rachel Said:Lyme Disease not recognized as a disease?We Answered:Dekayel's answer lists some excellent sources for information.
My experience has made me realize that there is a serious disconnect between the CDC's view of Lyme disease and the real-life experience that many patients have with the illness. As a result, there is tremendous conflict about the true nature of Lyme disease. For example, criteria developed by the CDC for reporting purposes are used by many doctors as a bottom-line tool for diagnosis. However, the criteria were never meant to be used that way: not every case of Lyme disease meets the reporting...
Kyle Said:HLAB-27, Lyme Disease, Chlamydia Pneumonia, technical questionWe Answered:Your question needs to be answered by a Lyme specialist who really understands the interplay of all of these conditions. Have you been tested for other co-infections? A large percentage of people with Lyme turn out to have other things like babesia, bartonella, erlichia, etc. All can complicate treatment.

Charlene Said:What is wrong with my cat? Does he have Lyme Disease?We Answered:What kind of tick was it? A dog tick, deer tick, ..ect
"Some owners have described Lyme-infected cats as being in a "zombie like trance". Often, Lyme disease is only diagnosed because the owner notices a tick or a tick bite on the cat; otherwise the symptoms are ambiguous and can be mistaken for other illnesses. Studies of cats deliberately infected with Lyme disease showed that some show no symptoms at all! According to American researchers, infected ticks do not start to transmit the bacteria until they have been...

Leona Said:How long should you wait between treatments for lyme disease and heartworm?We Answered:Hmm. Who told you they can't be done at once? I'm not sure that's true, but I may have found another reason for the delay.
Lyme disease is usually treated with the antibiotic doxycyline. Heartworms are treated with an injection, but there has been evidence that running a course of doxycyline prior to the injection MAY help kill more worms.
If that's not the issue, then maybe the Lyme disease is so advanced that they are worried the shock to her system would be...
