Patty,

I'll say the same to you that I said to Mati -- while I'm sorry to hear you've been thrust into the Lymelight as well, I'm glad that you're getting answers. And good for you for seeing a Lyme practitioner! I don't know what I'd do without my Lyme doc. I have found that nearly all of the Lyme doctors are schooled in the use of herbs and complementary healing modalities. They've realized that for many patients, this disease requires allopathic treatment and herbal/complementary treatment.

I've posted a number of articles in the Lyme DIsease section of the Forum here. I don't know whether you've seen it or not. But I'll put a link to the Forum in any event. Mostly it's just resources and links that I"ve found to be really quite helpful to me.

I just saw the documentary "Under Our Skin" last week and it is phenomenal. Very well done and informative. The director of the film has made advance "play only" (no chapters or special features in this edition) available for purchase. I think they are planning to release a more inclusive DVD which will include chapters, bonus features, special features, etc. in the future after they get distribution in theatres.

I'm also reading a new book that just came out this week by Pamela Weintraub called "Cure Unknown: Inside the Lyme Epidemic." It's good! Here's a link to the books website. It has some links to certain portions of the book for perusal:

All the best as you begin treatment, Patty.
