Guest guest Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Oh, well, I just found out at eurolyme that its a " suspended suspension, " not an actual suspension - basically meaning they will be scrutinizing everything he does for the next year, with a bunch of parameters that will be set in a meeting in July. This makes it unclear what the deal is. If it just means he has to notify anyone he treats that theres another side to the lyme wars, that sounds fine. If on the other hand it means he will no longer be allowed to employ long term abx - thats obviously not fine at all. Quote
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Well, thats better. Myabe he will just have to discontinue the IV ABX, which I read somewhere he was going to do. > > Oh, well, I just found out at eurolyme that its a " suspended > suspension, " not an actual suspension - basically meaning they will be > scrutinizing everything he does for the next year, with a bunch of > parameters that will be set in a meeting in July. > > This makes it unclear what the deal is.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 That's good news for Jemsek and his patients. Thanks for letting us know. Unfortunately, it's still a blow to all of us who are struggling with chronic infections of all sorts. penny --- <usenethod@...> wrote: > Oh, well, I just found out at eurolyme that its a > " suspended > suspension, " not an actual suspension - basically > meaning they will be > scrutinizing everything he does for the next year, > with a bunch of > parameters that will be set in a meeting in July. > > This makes it unclear what the deal is.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 What worries me is that they will put a stop to effective Lyme treatment in the south. Jemsek is the ONLY doctor in the southeast treating chronic Lyme. I think the ILADS docs are already cutting back on IV treatment. Jemsek is still getting bit from past treatment approaches. Also, I think the Lyme docs have pretty much stopped using quinolones. I was at a conf. this spring and didn’t hear one doctor mentioning a quinolone in his treatment protocol. a Well, thats better.
