Anyone who is diagnosed with Lyme Disease, or who thinks they might have it, should contact the Lymenet. If you don't have Internet access find someone who does. My daughter lived through a hellish four years before we found the Lymenet and a physician who "believes" in this disease. The researchers and providers who work with LD struggle every bit as much as we Lactation folk do to overcome staggering misinformation in the medical community. We discovered that proper diagnosis and treatment of this terrible disease is difficult to find. The politics are disheartening. (Well, *we* know all about disheartening politics!) I repeat: get in touch with the folks at Lymenet. They have research articles, support groups, information on LD conferences, and can provide referrals to specialists who are knowledgeable about treating LD. My 21-year-old daughter would be suffering today if this group had not given us a referral to a physician who knew how to treat this horrific disease. (The short version: after 4 years of being assured she had an unspecified type of arthritis and couldn't possibly have LD because the single test that was done was negative, she was treated for LD and recovered within 6 months. This time last year she could barely walk; now she is on a college basketball team, skiis and works out 2 hours a day. Enough said?) There are at least two published papers on LD and breastmilk, but you will have to judge the author's conclusions for yourself. Here are some good sites. The first is the Lymenet, the others are sites where written info can be obtained. http://www.lymenet.org/ http://www.Lehigh.EDU/lists/lymenet-l/#Back_Issues http://www.lehigh.edu/lists/archives/lymenet-l/special.htm http://www.sky.net/~dporter/abstract.html Margery Wilson, IBCLC Cambridge, MA
