Ticked Off at Lyme Disease....
Angela Laird's Lymies
Documentary
Sonoma State University 2013
Description: Learn a little bit more about Lyme disease and its sufferers. The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) set the treatment guidelines for Lyme disease held up by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Because the guidelines have not been revised since 2006, and are considered outdated, many Lyme disease patients are not getting the proper treatments. Additionally, any treatment they seek outside the standard 28 days of antibiotics (usually doxycycline, an antibiotic also used to treat acne), is not covered by insurance companies. The guidelines also don't recognize congenital Lyme disease, Lyme disease transmitted by partners, chronic Lyme disease, and child autism caused by Lyme disease. Lyme disease sufferers are no longer patient! It is time to bring Lyme disease into the limelight and educate society on this debilitating disease.
