I am in Victoria. I was bitten by a tick in July 2008, developed the classic circular rash, then soon developed classic Lyme Disease symptoms such as profound fatigue, cognitive disfunction, sore wrists, and facial palsy. Two weeks post tick bite, I received antibiotics from a clinic in Sidney and a blood test. My test was negative but another Doctor saw that I was very sick and gave me more antibiotics. After 3 months of antibiotics and still very sick, I was told we had to start looking elsewhere for the source of my brain fog, fatigue, and wrist pain. I did look elsewhere...USA and Mexico for medication. Self treatment is the only way that I still have my job and my family. Certain professionals in the medical community shoud be ashamed and very hard on themselves for casting aside the taxpayer who pays their salary. I understand that our local Doctors only get "water cooler" type talk of Lyme Disease and easily dismiss it but they are expected to do better and not ruin lives and drive people to suicide. "Evidence Based Medicine" should be based on ALL available medical information. Not just older, faulty studies being quoted in newer articles by those who created them. There is much evidence available about Lyme Disease coming out of European and American schools. Maybe someone should read it. Miguel Campo
