Petition Fund research on Chronic Lyme and other tick born diseases coexisting with it.
Let's consider and acknowledge possibility of chronic Lymes disease and other co-existing infections carried by ticks. Enable quality testing within NHS UK for Borelia species. Fund some specialist research towards it with clinical trials and effective treatments for patients suffering with it.
More details
There are at least 40.000 people in UK who are currently believed to suffer with chronic lyme disease and other co-infections carried by ticks.
Due to lack of research and not, in my opinion verified NICE guidance towards treating lymes disease many people are in the limbo with no health proffesionals wanting or able to support them due to the current guidance. In my opinion and many others new research, clinical trials and general approach is needed to ease suffering for thousands of people.
