  1. Congratulations and are thanks to the Manitoba physicians that stuck with this case. This case indicates how serious and debilitating Lyme can be, how the disease can metamorphose and how easily it could be dismissed by AMMI trained physicians. Emily is young and and stands a good chance of recovery because of her younger healthier immune system which should be able to take over. It is all to easy for doctors to throw cases like this onto the compost pile of psychiatric disorders.
