Lyme disease alive and well in this area says Keith Poullos Lyme disease is alive and well in Canada so we had best learn all we can about it. We may have to become our own phys- icians, says Keith Poullos of rural Limehouse, a member of the Canadian Lyme Disease Founda- tion. Lyme disease is a bac- terial infection primarily acquired by the bite of a tick (which is about the size of a poppy seed). Ticks are members of the same family of spiders; they are not insects and therefore they have eight legs not six (except in the larval stage). The spe- cies of ticks that transmit Lyme disease are found throughout Canada and are transplanted randomly by migratory birds. There is no area in Can- ada where there is no risk of Lyme disease. Other forms of transmission are also possible. Much of what has been written in the medical textbooks that educate our physicians about Lyme disease is now proving to have been incorrect, it has been said that Lyme dis- ease was easy to diagnose and easy to treat. Very wrong, says Poullos who has been campaigning for more recognition of the disease for years. Lyme disease is known as the great imitator be- cause it can resemble many diseases and syndromes. Research has shown that symptoms can mirror (or trigger) multiple sclerosis, Alzheimers disease, Lou Gehrigs disease, psychi- atric disorders, irritable bowel syndrome and le- gions of other diagnosis. Symptoms can change, come and go, and may affect every system of the body. Overwhelm- ing fatigue and cognitive problems are hallmarks of late stage chronic Lyme disease. Recent research from different countries has confirmed what patients knew all along: Lyme dis- ease bacteria can survive the short term antibiotic period recommended in guidelines. In the past these people with treat- ment failure were said to have been cured and that they had developed a never-proven auto-im- mune disorder. The were told chronic Lyme dis- ease does not exist. Now, we know that chronic but treatable Lyme disease is not only plausible, it is proven. Testing for Lyme dis- ease is poor at best here in Canada, says Poullos. The two-tier method adopted by Canadian laborator- ies for diagnosis was not designed for diagnosis. It was designed in 1994 for surveillance. It is adequate for that purpose, but in no way is it accurate enough to be involved in the med- ical diagnostic equation when lives are at stake. False negative results lead physicians too often away from the diagnosis. Universities on all con- tinents have published research showing just how poor these tests are yet Canadian health au- thorities continue to imply is accurate and will often refuse to recognize other more reliable testing, Poullos says. Most patients who sus- pected they may have Lyme disease have been told by their doctor they dont have it based upon information the doctors have learned through some form of medical commun- ity grapevine. Poullos says doctors education, on Lyme dis- ease must be priority and unrestricted by their peers and colleges. Doctors must be left to do their jobs without fear of repercussions.
