Yes, dirt, we can tell you are really a person concerned about the
crdibility of the Lyme community.

Here is Derdrittemann and his friend Weisman giving a very credible

Lymies from the four corners of the United Kingdom solemnly handed in
a petition to 10 Downing St, home of Prime Minister Tony Blair, on
Thursday. The petition included testimonials from 50 people whose
lives have been destroyed by the refusal to acknowledge the
seriousness and extent of this disease in Britain.

The rally came about thanks to the hard work of Wendy Fox, who suffers
not only from Lyme but also several co-infections. Wendy, 37, formerly
worked as a zoo-keeper. Today she is paraplegic as a result of Lyme
disease, and arrived in a wheelchair.

Wendy was originally told (like thousands of others were) that she had
"chronic fatigue syndrome". By the time she was correctly diagnosed
with Lyme, it was too late. She is now forced to turn to the public
for funds to pay for treatment to stop her health deteriorating even
further, as the National Health Service has said it is too expensive.

Thanks, Lisa! Was there an article in any London paper (or paper in
Scotland)
about this event? If so, which and do you have a website for the
article?

Thanks again,

Hi Ann,

This was the first ever action by UK Lymies and we broke through the
traditional media silence and got some coverage on national and local
TV. However, the BBC managed to chatter on and on about mosquitoes in
the context of Lyme and forgot to mention ticks. Scottish TV did even
worse by reporting one woman's story under the headline "Edinburg
Mother with Rare Disease takes her Protest to No 10". I suppose they
must have consulted our resident Lyme-liar-in-chief, the corrupt Susan
O'Connell, to learn that it is "rare".

Still, it was an important beginning. I will put more details and some
photos on the Lyme-rage website in next day or so.

Apology to Wendy - I made a mistake in my previous post. Wendy was not
diagnosed with CFS. Rather, her illness was misdiagnosed as
stress-related, then later dismissed as "post Lyme syndrome". Today
she is paraplegic from her tick borne diseases , extremely ill and
with multi-organ involvement.

Here is a follow-up article on the efforts of Wendy and all the other
good
people who participated in this effort.

Woman wins fight for aid to get treatment

A WOMAN has won her fight to receive £20,000 a year treatment on the
NHS.

Wendy Fox, aged 37, has chronic Lyme disease, a serious bacterial
infection
passed by the bites of infected ticks, which has attacked every part of
her
body.
The mother-of-one from Wath-on-Dearne, who is paralysed from the waist
down and
needs to use a wheelchair has been told that the NHS in Rotherham will
now fund
drugs costing £20,000 a year, which she was previously denied.

Mrs Fox travelled to Downing Street recently to call for the Government
to make
more money to make more resources available to fund better treatment
for people
with Lyme disease. She says she is pleased to have won an appeal for
funding
from Rotherham Primary Care Trust.

"I am of course thrilled by this decision and I am grateful for the PCT
for
funding my treatment," said Mrs Fox. "But I am still desperately sad
that I had
to battle so hard and at great expense. What is even more sad is that
countless
people are in the same position."

Elsewhere in the world, she says the treatment is much better, and the
condition is recognised by the medical profession.

Mrs Fox said: "In the UK many GPs do not know what Lyme disease is, let
alone
how to treat it. As there are already guidelines in place in the US
then it is
my intention to produce a leaflet for all UK GPs that explains the
issues
surrounding Lyme disease and the correct methods of treatment as per
the
guidelines designed by US Lyme experts.

"I will be continuing to fight for the treatment of other sufferers
while
receiving my own treatment on the NHS," she added.

Mrs Fox, a former zoo keeper, does not know how she came to get the
disease.
Ticks can live on animals or in long grass. She was diagnosed ten years
ago,
and says her health has steadily worsened.

Yes, I think it's really important to note that it took the threat of
a protest at Downing St. to force our health system to give Wendy the
treatment she so desperately needs.

Moral - we get nothing until we fight for it.

A correction to my last post - only the Scottish national TV covered
the story. GMTV, Sky, BBC and all other top national news here in the
UK did interviews, but never published/broadcast them.

Sky made it clear that they would be dropping the story after Wendy
was offered her treatment, even though they were told that there are
countless others in this country denied treatment and/or diagnosis.

Lisa, that is because NEWSpapers are interested in reporting NEWS.
Wendy made news, therefore they printed her story, and thank them for
that. That is their job. The fact that countless others are
languishing is not NEWS. If you can figure out other ways to create
NEWS, you will doubtless be successful at getting more coverage. The
AIDS activists certainly understood that, and we could learn something
from them.

Well assuming that there is any cause and effect between the
"threatened protest" at 10 Downing street and the result in this one
isolated case, and assuming Phyllis is correct about newspapers
reporting news, I have a suggestion.

Lisa why not go to 10 Downing street and set yourself on fire? Make
sure the cameras are there. I'd like to see this.

Oh, that's just mean and nasty.

If she sets her hair on fire...I would gladly piss on her head to put
the fire out.

Sorry. ;-)

See that is why you are SIR Der. You are much more noble than I!

I will say that if she were hungry and lying on the ground, IF I had
some guarantee that she wouldn't bite my testicles off I would squat
over her head and *** in her mouth and she could eat that. OR as
Marie Antoinette (the first compassionate conservative) said, let them
eat cake or in this case ***.

What is disturbing is not how threatening you two are, but how strange.

Always ready to go to the aid of a dumb *** in a dress...or is
that..."damsel in distress"?...(I always get that mixed up)...

This sounds like a perfectly good waste of perfectly good waste to me.

On the other hand...you could send it to Pennsylvania...maybe it would
get "assigned".
