My neurologist said I have Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS or Huntington's Disease, or neurologic Lyme. There is no other choice than to treat for Lyme. The other possibilities are untreatable and progressive. If it is not Lyme, I have ten years. I think I like the Lyme diagnosis best!
The doctor who inserted the PICC line last Wednesday said, "So you have SUPPOSED neurologic Lyme?" I said, "Well, I have had two tick bites with documented EM rashes, and I have been diagnosed with dementia, so yes."
This page is dedicated to him. It is so compassionate to make medical/political judgements about a patient you just met while they are on your operating table. I wish I could tell you his name, but of course, I forgot.
