If the brain ...Parkinson's is neurological too. If the brain and whole CNS is under attack what limits what gets messed up? <br /><br />I want to know - does this nasty bug have a taste for inflamation? Does it go to areas already under attack some other way?<br /><br /> The mention of a leaking brain-blood barrier makes me think Bb can 'burrow' or etch it's way into usually shielded places. Some biters numb their bite site (ticks), some have anti-coagulants (leetches), who knows what chemical assistance Borrelia uses. Think of how useful a 'barrier crossing guard' could be. How about taking their chemical and using it to carry antibiotics across. Double agent Borrelia burgdorferi here...<br /><br />What could the research world accomplish with the combined support of MS,Parkinson's and Lyme groups! Oh, yeah, and CFS and Fibro too. Anything that helps understand the brain is good, yes?<br /><br />People seem to feel as if their ailment is somehow lessened if it is possibly curable, for all they may pine for a cure. I hope sites like this keep increasing awareness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707770726760676731.post-40910005821427653192011-08-29T17:59:27.051+01:002011-08-29T17:59:27.051+01:00Tom Grier, Some very interesting information.

Thank you.<br /><br />Its interesting that Actor Michael J Fox was talking about having Lyme Disease on David Letter man 10 years prior to his Having Parkingstons. Also 4 others from his TV crew also have Parkingsons. Very strange, they tried to connect the dots and came up empty. They thought maybe a Virus. But they did not look at lyme as the cause. I wonder if the Parkinsons research are just using him for funds. Maybe they do not want him to have lyme as they would not get the donations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707770726760676731.post-24293947453408269352011-05-04T16:28:36.059+01:002011-05-04T16:28:36.059+01:00Hi Christina so sorry to hear of your problems.
Yo...Hi Christina so sorry to hear of your problems.<br />You can e mail me direct details found through my profile.<br />Tom Grier is a microbiologist so I would not think he will advise re treatment especially self treatment even herbals can be risky. <br />I would recommend you join a support group or chatline Eurolyme is well respected in the lyme community link in my side bar. Or in this post there are links to MD Junction and Betty G is in touch with Tom and may be you can post your questions there for Tom.<br /><br />Good luck it would seem there is much research that associates MS with symptoms that we Lyme patients have although difficult getting our Health Authorities to consider this seriously. <br /><br />I attended London ILADS conference and heard Dr Martz present his research on patients with MS diagnosis who found it was Lyme and made a significant recovery on treatments for Lyme but not sure if he has published yet.<br /><br />This is an emerging disease so you need to be proactive in researching what information is available and find a good doctor.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905137222286141548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707770726760676731.post-26342647918489214752011-05-04T03:30:17.483+01:002011-05-04T03:30:17.483+01:00Hi!

Most of my ms symptoms are also Lyme symptoms. 3 years before my MS diagnosis I came home from a trip to Fargo ND and found a tick on my head in my hair. It had been there most likely for a few days. I went to my doctor and took a short course of meds. I also have symptoms that only fit Lyme disease. I don't have insurance and would have to self medicate. If you know how to reach him so I can ask some questions that would be great. <br /><br />Thanks<br />Christina Frees<br />425-248-3934<br />Bothell, WAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
