Any similar problems with Lyme's patients? Any ideas?

This question is about a Lyme disease sufferer in the UK, where we have

a National Health Service (Ha! Noooohhhhooooootttt!) but some of the

issues will apply wherever in the world you live.

This person is having problems with obtaining medication prescribed from

a private hospital as their GP has refused to write any more

prescriptions despite starting them on it a month ago. The patient even

got a letter from the head pharmacist of the local PCT questioning if

chronic lymes exists and is just another attempt to categorise

unexplained symptoms.

Its all been very stressful and has also left the patient in limbo with

regards to their treatment. They thought that 2 x positive lymes tests

would be enough for them to obtain the treatment protocol they need but

its seems that the policy is that it is not cost effect for the PCT.

Anyone similarly treated and anyone got any ideas?

Cheers
