    I have suffered, undiagnosed with what I have continually believed is Lyme disease, for nearly ten years now. My initial physician mistook me for a drug seeker who was using my "unproven" joint and muscle issues to get pain meds, which was unfortunately a prevalent issue in my southern Ohio community. (though I am a non-smoking, non-drinking, Christian individual who did, through blood tests, prove negative for drug use)
    This injustice occurred despite the fact that I had seen the physician previously in regard to a telltale bullseye rash which developed after I had removed a deeply embedded deer tick and was suffering with night sweats. This physician told me that "Lyme's Disease" (his pronunciation proving his Lyme Illiteracy) did not occur in Ohio and because I had not traveled out of state, it was impossible that I had contracted "Lyme's".
    I continued untested for sometime, my condition worsening, before I finally bullied the Dr. into testing for Lyme. Unfortunately, I showed no antibodies which only emboldened the Dr.'s suspicion that I was merely seeking pain meds, stating at one point that "guys like you might not be users but they are selling their meds to their drug addicted buddies". At that point I requested a different doctor at our (company) clinic who also insisted that I was not infected but did eventually prescribe a 21 day course of doxycycline. Little did I know (nor did my Dr. evidently) that after such a long Lyme infection that this treatment would be insufficient.
    Now after years of doctoring with a myriad of physicians including Rheumatologists, Internal Medicine Specialists, Infectious Disease Specialists, as well as enduring weeks of painful and futile physical therapy, I continue to suffer with nearly every symptom that I've ever heard mentioned in conjunction with Lyme disease. Even though my father was diagnosed with Lyme very recently (showing antibodies) and I was hospitalized with fever, severe joint pain, muscle pain and stiffness, symptoms very similar to those that he was suffering (we live on the same Ohio farm and were therefore subject to the same ticks) my bone and joint physician insists that I am suffering from Polymyositis and refused to test for Lyme. This diagnosis was a change from his initial finding that I was suffering from Osteoarthritis and his second diagnosis which was Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue as well as another diagnosis of Polymyalgia Rhuematica given during my recent ER visit.
    I have for a time been uninsured which has hampered my pursuit of a proper diagnosis and cure. My current symptoms have expanded to include wild heart palpitations, head and neck pain and dramatic loss of muscle tissue and strength. I feel like I'm dying and at times wish that I could.
    But there is no profit in curing me, so I suppose I will just take my prednisone like a good little patient, even though it has become increasingly less effective. I will simply I ignore my unmanaged pain, as no doctor in my area has the courage to address that issue (and it is really "all in my head" anyway). Eventually my heart will stop during one of my quite possibly prednisone induced palpitations and I will no doubt be listed as just another cardiac related death. Meanwhile the pharmaceutical companies and their unwitting (or not) cronies in the "Medical" profession can propagate their bread and butter, which is symptom treatment rather than cure. At least until some smart Lyme sufferer or their bereaved family finally realizes that they should have been seeking a good attorney rather than a good doctor, because health care in America is all about profit, not good health.

    @15:30 - YOU ARE DAMM RIGHT, DR!.. YOU ARE DAMM RIGHT.. Everything I read on diagnosing symptoms on my own an hour ago led to the exact same conclusions. These ass clowns in white lab coats are just as fallible as the rest of us. They need to continue learning and educating themselves because the are playing strong and wrong, and then missing the proper diagnosis that ends up leaving the patient untreated, or they end up dying for lack of due care.

    Dr MacDonald is such a brilliant Physician and researcher,...I had only watched part one some months back,...today watched 2 and 3...such an amazing amount of info. I too think Lyme is a "lame" name to call this infection...Borreliosis sounds like a medical condition, much more so than Lyme Disease. I had no idea the EM could present with so many variations, either. Mine of about 4 or 5 years ago was like a red/blue bruise , large, ovoid..back of knee, as tho punched there, an injury. The tick was not found embedded altho a highly engorged one was found on the floor, I assumed it fell off the cat, later I realized it may have fallen off me:-( the rash followed finding that tick on the floor. CDC map for California should have a much BLACKER look,...we are endemic, here. I just think it is highly under-diagnosed, therefore under-reported. My exposure #1 ( and likely infection, numerous symptoms) came at age 5 or 6 in deer country, high grass and creek of Shasta County . I consider myself a lifer in remission, somewhat. The EM of 2010 unfolded with 5 years of symptoms but as a poor person I have not sought treatment, and one by one most issues waxed and waned. But I'm not well. Heart and eye issues scare me. I could actually feel the bacteria reach certain parts of me knee involvement first and pronounced, both knees; felt "it" pass a lymph node at top of leg, reach my bladder, travel round my lungs. scary! many many symptoms. Also heartening to hear Dr MacDonald talk about treatment failing a patient. I believe my Mom was also a life long Borrelia sufferer, and she was prescribed oral steroids for chronic COPD cough in her early eighties , the treatment just about killed her, TWICE. 2 trips to ER in a true comatose state, revived by more of the same blasted drug which I later learned should never be given to a patient with Lyme. because it can cause death. Sadly my own laypersons research into Borrelia came to late to relate to her, but made all her health issues make sense to me, due to the high levels of outdoor exposure in certain geological areas of CA and OR, BOTH parents were highly exposed, lifelong from early childhood or WOMB, to ticks, and tick bite, just like me. I would LOVE to sit down and talk with Dr M,..it would be lopsided, because I'm just a lay person, but I have hatched theories based on much reading of my own. My final thought about it: Tick disease is "total complexity", and the science of it is really is in it's infancy, understanding of it and proper treatment. I suffered recurrent tonsillitis as a child following the known tick bite, and probably was given Penicillin, rounds and rounds,for years.... I recently read Penicillin can cause Borrelia to become a resistant bacteria, nice, huh? Oddly the tonsil trouble went away in my early teens..I experimented and started smoking cigarettes... the poisons in the tobacco, nicotine...perhaps chased the bug right out of my lymph glands/throat, because the tonsilitis STOPPED. I wondered why it just went away like that, my whole life. perhaps the native Americans were self treating with tobacco and sweat lodges. Sadly, I've been re-innoculated numerous times over 50+ years. Has the tiny tick affected my family? yes, both sides all the way back to Germany, Scotland, circa the 1700s all family being farmers, and exposed to the good earth and the not so good lowly tick.

The hell I've been through this last year and half has truly been just that, HELL. Mostly due to all the so called doctors I've seen. It took a natural path to identify all those. I was failed by the medical industry. label delusional and laughed at. If only those doctors put in a quarter of your care and effort I wouldn't be still suffering and dieing today.
