Lyme disease is the number one vector borne spreading epidemic worldwide, and mimics common diseases such as Fibromyalgia (FM), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (myalgic encephalomyelitis), autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and MS, as well as psychiatric conditions such as depression and anxiety.

The CDC recently released new statistics showing that ten times more individuals have been affected with Lyme than previously suspected. Since the blood tests for diagnosing Lyme disease have been shown to be unreliable, we would expect that a certain percentage of those diagnosed with FM are in fact suffering from Lyme disease. This has been my personal experience.

In the last 26 years, I have seen over 12,000 chronically ill individuals with Lyme and associated tick-borne disorders, many of whom have been to 10-20 doctors looking for answers for their chronic fatigue and musculoskeletal pain.

The WLN is looking for new board members

The WLN is looking for new board members interested in moving this nonprofit organization forward.  It has been very challenging to find new board members and it is time for us to pass on our baton.  In order for the WLN to remain a viable nonprofit organization we need 5 board members to replace our current board per our by laws.  The current board would act as a back up to aide in this transition.  If you would be interested in moving the WLN forward please contact Kristin Collins, President via our patient email at www.wisconsinlymenetwork@gmail.com
