This is unbeleiveable ;I shared a few things about
Lyme with my Infec. Dis. Dr. (she knew nothing about
Dr. Burascanno. Wow! Anyway, I asked to keep my picc line in. Why? Because she mentioned it possibly being reinserted later. Oh, no! I said ," leave it in please". She complied.
Picc has been in one month. I wait one more month for blood work. Then if additional abx is needed, GET THIS! Dr. will give me 2 grams (instead of l gram prior). I told her that 1 gram is not suffcient from my research and other individuals I know who have Lyme disease. She even looked over an article I brought.
I had been careful thus far on my conversation with her, but not anymore. Why? She knows that a TV station is interested in my story about Lyme and she said that's fine, but she is camera shy, she will not do the interview.
This is MY health and if I don't speak up about it, even at the cost of being let go as a patient (which hasn't happened), then it's my fault. I'm the one slowly dying just as the rest of us are, right?
Raise awareness. Get brochures at: www.LymeDiseaseAssociation.org. 888-366-6611
I love giving them to friends, and almost ALL my friends have never heard of Lyme, how sad!
Cheers,
HH
