Kansas State University started the Lyme Research Center for the Veterinary School in 2007. However, the is very little recognition of this problem, nor action taken, to help the multitudes of children and adults living in Kansas who suffer from neuroborreliosis and Chronic Lyme Disease.... 46817@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 22 Nov 2008 14:21:10 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_741.html#22149 Yes, We must acknowledge this dangerous disease. Many members of our society are suffering now or will be suffering in the future. Our country and it's people deserve more than what is out there today .Please pass this bill before it's too late for some of the Lyme sufferers out there.... 22149@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 12 Oct 2007 15:36:54 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_741.html#21016 I am active with a local Lyme Association in Salisbury Maryland. I fully support this bill. Undiagnosed Lyme has caused me my business of 18 years. I have gone from total inability to talk, walk, and do simple daily functions. I finally found a Doctor after 9 years of suffering and more than 9 surgeries. There is already a large number of people that would benefit from this research. I am greatful to God for this opportunity to see our federal funds spent on something so worth while.... 21016@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 30 Aug 2007 00:19:18 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_741.html#20993 There is so much money misdirected or spent unwisely in Washington that it would be a crime not to fund research that could improve countless American lives today and the lives of others that will be affected in the future by this terrible disease.... 20993@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 28 Aug 2007 21:31:12 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_741.html#20964 My friend Jessica Stevens is fighting for her life today because of Lyme's disease. I watched as her parents and friends tried everything and called everyone hoping and praying for a diagnosis 14 months ago. Please help see that these medical tests and assistance are easier to receive. How much more progress and less stress could have happened to Jessica and all that love her if diagonis & treatment could have been started earlier. Thanks you!... 20964@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 27 Aug 2007 10:40:13 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_741.html#13811 Many people with Lyme disease are not diagnosed and treated in a timely fashion because of the medical debates of how to diagnose and treat Lyme disease. So, many people go undiagnosed and become very ill...Both my daughter and I were undiagnosed for 9 years and now struggle daily with the long term affects of Lyme disease which when undiagnosed and untreated causes reoccuring symptoms such as severe fatigue, headaches, GI problems, joint pain, mucle pain, joint swelling, "Lyme" arthrits and a myriad of other symptoms. This disease if robbing young and and old alike of a quality of health that all should be entitled to. For so many afflicted it means relief and for those at risk it means prevention and or immediate diagnosis and treatment instead of a long chronic illness that right now has no cure!!!!... 13811@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 09 Feb 2007 22:48:25 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_741.html#13796 There is NO other tick-bourne disease more prevalent than Lyme in this country. Thousands are suffering unnecessarily. This legislation must be passed so that the obstacles to proper diagnosis and treatment are eliminated. THIS IS IMPORTANT!... 13796@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 09 Feb 2007 10:30:06 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_741.html#13794 This is very important health care legislation. There still is nothing even close to a gold-standard blood test to diagnose Lyme disease and the differing medical opinions over treatment leave many across the U.S. without prompt and complete treatment.... 13794@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 09 Feb 2007 10:07:16 EST
