Lyme disease... The season is starting up again.
Several TVA news articles have already mentioned it... It says: insect-borne diseases on the rise, lyme disease already claiming victims in Quebec (see links below).
What saddens me most is seeing the nonchalance of many doctors in the face of this devastating disease. I don't want to generalize, but in the hyperbaric field at Oxy Expert, I've heard all sorts of horror stories.
The biggest problem is the difficulty of getting Lyme disease tested. Most people have to travel to the U.S., at their own expense, to get an official diagnosis. After that, getting it recognized in Canada is another story!
I have a mother who calls her doctor after her 3-year-old son has been bitten by a tick. She explains that she has removed a tick, and even sees the famous target image that characterizes this type of bite. The practitioner's verdict: «It's okay, if he develops a fever, come and see me, it's not necessary beforehand!»
Today, 1 year later, although the youngster has not been officially diagnosed, he has many symptoms of chronic pain... Congratulations to the Nobel Prize winner who has potentially mortgaged the life of this youngster and his parents!
People like Sabrina Roy and Simon Martin, to name but a few, are fighting hard for recognition of lyme disease, as well as government assistance to finance the hundreds of medications they have to take and potential hyperbaric chamber sessions to increase the effectiveness of antibiotics and «boost» their immune systems! Hats off to them and their courage!!!
Anyway, the moral of the story is that if you see a tick or that famous target on you or one of your children, don't even hesitate to go to the emergency room to get treated as quickly as possible and avoid any potential destructive problems! And don't forget that treatment in an Oxynova hyperbaric chamber can, for most people suffering from the disease, provide a welcome boost...
Have a good summer and stay alert!
