Lyme Paralized my Dad

Post a new topicby sigmon on Sun Nov 30, 2008 9:12 pm

Hello,

My name is Paul Sigmon and my Dad, Troy Sigmon is in Sania Hospital in Baltimore and is so, soo, sick. The neurologist believe he has a lesion on his brain which has resently bled and paralized his left side; however, we have also seen an enfectious discease DR who believes my Dad has Lymes discease. The neurologist are ready to biopsy my Dad which would certainly paralyse him for life because of the location of the lesion. I have some preliminary blood work results from the infectious discease Doctor, he had the test done by a lab called Igenix in California and it was all out of pocket. My neurologist believes my infectious discease Doctor is a swindler and has taken advantage of us.

Any help/advice, would greatly appreciate! I can forward my Dad's preliminary test report to anyone who might be able to help, but it's in a PDF file so I can't cut and past the details here. Please email me at [moderator note: e-mail address has been removed] if you can help me.

Paul

Hey Paul, Wanted to know about your Dad. I am a 9 1/2 year survivor of the Lyme. It's an awful thing to live with. I noticed there aren't many replies to any subject in this forum and just wanted to see how your Dad is handling this desease. God Bless, Tara
