This one really gets to me, PJ! I just saw a Q&A thingy in a parenting magazine about Lyme, and the doctor who provided the answer said basically, "don't worry, Lyme is rare."

I've tried pitching articles on Lyme to parents' magazines, but no luck.

I'm on a pediatric CFS online network, and every single week there are more kids and teens who were misdiagnosed with CFS or FM for years and now found out they have Lyme.

How can the medical world still not take Lyme seriously? (or CFS for that matter!)

Thanks for the awareness facts - they've been great.
