Good Morning!
This is a link to a petition to change the guidelines that Infectious Disease Doctors following when diagnosing and treating lyme disease. As we know, the standard dose of 2 or 3 weeks of doxy usually fails even new found infections.
It is so upsetting that in 2013 doctors are still prescribing 2 weeks of antibiotics as I was prescribed in 2007!!
Please help!! I have personally learned of insistences in which individuals in their early twenties that have positive lyme tests(meaning it is an old infection) are still told they will be fine after 2 weeks of antibiotics, oh and no need for follow-up!!
Thanks everyone!
Anna
