ly2me: The IDSA (International Disease Society of America) guidelines for Lyme Disease claim that Chronic Lyme does NOT exist, in turn prohibiting long-term treatment and accurate/appropriate diagnoses of Lyme Disease. The IDSA guidelines are created by a board of doctors who believe that Chronic Lyme Disease is a “psychosomatic” disorder and receive incentives from insurance companies to NOT diagnose Lyme Disease. Click this photo and sign the petition to remove the outdated and wildly corrupt guidelines today and help the Lyme Disease community get what they deserve- diagnoses, treatment and their lives back.  I had an awful time being told I was a hypochondriac by every doctor who tested me, and then 8 months later, “Oh you do have Lyme disease…” Today I found out my dog Bailey also has it! Spread the word, especially you guys in Massachusetts, and the northern states, that it exists!
