Guest guest Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Dear Pam, Nothing I say below should be construed as criticism of you for asking a question, my post is raised by your question, but not directed at you. I never heard this, and if I did, I would consider blanket absolutist statements like this ridiculous. IMO it is truly unfortunate and it really holds back the search for truth about Lyme because there are two poles of an argument - one extreme is people who claim that anyone who has Lyme is cured with 28 days of an abx, and that if they continue to be ill, they have something other than Lyme. Patently absurd and people who espouse this view mostly have an agenda, ie insurance companies who do not want to pay . Second extreme view - is that *everything* is Lyme. I have heard people say that there is no MS, no Lupus, no CFS. Nothing exists exist Lyme. Or as in the case of the cancer claim - everything was Lyme before it was something else. (some)People who espouse this view also have an agenda - and that is to have everything declared Lyme. ellen > > I have heard it now several times in the past few weeks, that if you > have cancer, you had lyme first.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Ellen, When I heard it, I thought it was ridiculous too. But I thought I'd ask anyway. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I've had Lyme for 26 years now, and almost three years ago, began to develop lipomas in my legs, which are like out -of -control growths of the fat tissue. Does anyone else have lipomas/know what to do about them? -- Robin ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
