I had a frightening situation with my son Evan recently. He was not feeling well for a couple of weeks, then finally went to the doctor where they “did some tests.” He was told they couldn’t find anything.
After suffering through a miserable one-month business trip abroad he went to another doctor and was quickly diagnosed with Lyme disease and with the medication began feeling a little better. I then suggested he go to a specialist where he was told he was only tested for two types of Lyme, and there are three!
He is now on what we hope is the right medication and seems to be feeling much better.
If we hadn't been proactive, Evan might still be suffering through tests and medications, and no closer to feeling better.
Let's face it, every day people's lives are saved by the medical community while others are placed in harms way, whether by mistake or misdiagnosis. You may have heard how the actor Dennis Quaid has become an advocate for improved medical care after his twin baby sons were given a huge overdose of the wrong medication, very nearly killing them!
When it comes to caring for your health and the health of your loved ones you need to be the advocate conducting your own research. Please use me and our staff if we can help. It’s certainly not easy but with our health and the health of our loved ones hanging in the balance we need to make the effort.
To the next 50 years!

Kathy Thanks for your well wishes for my son! I have heard so many similar cases like yours of undiagnosed lyme. I hope you have no permanent repercussions!! We need to fight for our health in many ways including exercising regularly!!
