What did you think of Dr. Phil's Lyme Disease Program

Hi again everyone,

          I watched the Dr. Phil Program yesterday and was very pleased about the whole program. Certainly, the viewers got a good look at what Lyme disease can do to you. I felt so sorry for the ex-model. She has been living in misery. I was so glad to here that the same physician who is treating his producer with Lyme Disease will treat this young women now, pro bono. If anyone ever needed help, this poor girl does. I still bristle at accounts of doctors telling Lyme patients that the disease is all in their head and that they are doing it for some kind of attention. Any doctor guilty of that shameful behavior should lose their ability to care for anyone. There are a number of doctors who have kept their head in the sand when it comes to this insidious disease. Hopefully, shows like this one will begin to put pressure on these ignorant and arrogant physicians,who believe they know it all. I had one doctor try to say that to me a few years ago and I damn here hit him in the mouth. I did order him out of the examining room and the head doctor soon, took his place. If any of you have had experienceof doctors telling you it is in your head, please let me know. We would love to hear about it. Getting the word out on these type of doctors is important. Kidos to Dr Phil. for giving the discussion of Lyme disease a very important forum! Comment in how you felt how watching the program.

Be well,
Richard

About Me

My photo
Pueblo, Colorado, United States
I am a Chronic Lyme disease patient. I was bitten by a tick in 2001 and have been very sick ever since. Subsequently, you could say I am a Lyme disease junkie.I thirst for any information about it,any treatments, research etc. It has been a life altering experience, which has kept me away from our business and at home most of the time. I use to own A-1 Barricade and Sign Inc. here in Pueblo, Co, but because of the Lyme disease, my sons are running the business for the most part with my wife. I have been married for 48 years to a wonderful woman who is also my best friend. We have five children, all grown. Four boys live here in Pueblo and my only daughter lives in Bonney Lake, Washington. We miss her a lot. I have 7 grandchildren, which are the greatest of all. They are all exceptionally beautiful! The last thing you need to know about me is that I am proud to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Because of this I have the knowledge that life is eternal and that it does not end here, but it will go on after death because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. This truth I bear witness of!
