The photos she posts are such a visual treat and the posts she writes so interesting to read. <br /><br />Visiting such lovely garden blogs help to counteract my frustration with the medical world for not taking Lyme Disease more seriously.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905137222286141548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707770726760676731.post-58234545130160832622010-02-09T12:46:35.792+00:002010-02-09T12:46:35.792+00:00Dear Joanne, I applaud your devotion to getting th...Dear Joanne, I applaud your devotion to getting the truth out there concerning the misdiagnosis and therefore mistreatment of this devastating disease. As more awareness is raised, perhaps doctors and the medical establishment will take the blinders off and actually help people suffering from it. Keep up the effort, we are behind you 100%. <br />FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707770726760676731.post-60875640364349334202010-02-09T08:28:10.919+00:002010-02-09T08:28:10.919+00:00Thanks Joanne, lets hope someone finally sits up a...Thanks Joanne, lets hope someone finally sits up and takes notice. Lyme does seem to get occasional coverage in the press now but then no-one ever seems to pick it up and run with it. I hope this is the one that does it!Jannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707770726760676731.post-86549879113874075172010-02-08T16:06:13.939+00:002010-02-08T16:06:13.939+00:00Great to see more coverage on Lyme Disease.

An EM rash is such a classic sign of active Lyme infections, yet so many doctors don't seem to recognise this or understand how complex it is to treat Lyme once the window of the first few post-bite weeks has been missed. My Lyme Disease wasn't recognised at all by the health service and, like Alex, I began to research my wide range of peculiar and debilitating symptoms myself. It's devastating to lose your health and strength to an infection that could have been cured quite easily if it had been picked up straight away and treated vigorously enough. This is an excellent blog Joanne - many thanks for the effort you're putting in to spread the word.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07822908549715737289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707770726760676731.post-36498809887613300812010-02-08T13:06:21.108+00:002010-02-08T13:06:21.108+00:00Joanne

It is incredibly difficult to get this beastly illness recognised and I am sure that this will help.<br /><br />Like you I too feel great sympathy for Alex finding himself in this predicament.<br /><br />EM rashes are funny things. Alex has had one for months on end. My daughter never had one, but nine years after becoming ill and whilst she was being treated with IV antibiotics she produced a textbook EM rash on her leg.<br /><br />I think your Lyme blog is fantastic. I can't get over the fact that you are getting such a lot of hits. If this was really such a minority subject there wouldn't be so many people wanting to read your fascinating blog.<br /><br />Keep up your amazing work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
