Re: TN Governer sick from possible tick bite

[Guest guest]

Hi Sandy,

I was surprised that they didn't diagnose the gov. of TN as having

Rocky Mt. Spotted Fever. Actually his symptoms sounded more like that.

There is a good doctor in Chattanooga, if he is still practicing.

Can you contact Dr. Stratton at Vanderbilt? He was using high

dose antibiotics for MS - he is a researcher, not an MD, but if you

can locate him he may be able to tell you what doctor to see. I used

to have a good friend in Nashville but have lost touch with her.

What antibiotics have you tried? My personal opinion is that

minocycline and Zithromax work well. If you see the doc in Chatt. he

will prescribe antibiotics.

Write me off list if you want his name.
