Tall grass is lovely to walk in but also a tick’s favorite hunting ground!

In Canada, as of the summer of 2017, it is now being reported that 100% of medical doctors who were treating chronic or long term Lyme disease in Canada have been shut down.  We have heard “through the gravevine” that this isn’t completely true, but it is true that no MDs are openly treating anthing but the acute form of the disease now in Canada.

  1. I live in TN. I and my teenage son have had Lyme Dx for greater than 16 years. I have no resources left to pay for the care we need. Do I have options? How can I apply. I had resolved to dying from this, with Co-infections untold made aware of this site by a man on twitter. Because of the Neuro involvement I can’t even figure out how to properly use Twitter. I just have begun trying any route I can find to save my son and happened upon this link. Please help!!!

    1. I am sorry for taking so long to reply. I also have chronic lyme, but am able to function much better than I used to. Still, it takes all my energy and leaves me short of time constantly.

      My best recommendation to you right now is to go to the ILADS help page and ask for help. I have not been able to keep up with practitioners at my end, because they are booked solid so quickly. ILADS has an army of helpers, now.

      You can also talk to Dr. M (retired) or one of his volunteers at the Murakami Centre for Lyme. They are a wealth of information, especially on ways to support your health apart from the regular medical system.

  2. I am just now seeing this info as I have had a downward turn myself. I am very sorry for your pain and I’ll ess. I appreciate so much you taking the time and effort to respond to me. I will seek help from ILADS. I hope to stay in touch as time and health permits. I care passionately about eor but particularly for those with this so incredibly evil disease(s).
    Sincerely, Shann
