I'm curious, has a collective lawsuit ever been filed against the CDC regarding Lyme Disease? 
 
I'm nearly done reading Pamela Weintraub's book Cure Unknown, and it makes me sick reading all that is now known about Lyme Disease and co-infections and still denied by the CDC.  Why in the world isn't the CDC doing more to protect our country from this epidemic?  They are THE authority on disease control in this country, and yet nearly 30 after discovering what the cause of this "mystery illness" is, more and more people are contracting Lyme Disease and co-infections and we still have to go through all that we do just to be diagnosed, and little did we know that would be the EASY part in all of this.  This has to stop and they are in the position of power to do it. 
 
It is purely shameful that 1) we have to go through this at all; 2) that it has taken YEARS for the majority of us to even be diagnosed; 3)  that we have to pay cash out of our own pockets for the medical care and the medicine we need for this MEDICAL PROBLEM; 4)  that the doctor's willing to treat us our being sued and pushed out of business. 
 
I fell into this Lyme mess the way most of you did.  We went from doctor to doctor because we KNEW we were sick, and were told we either didn't have anything wrong with us, they had no idea what was wrong with us, or they misdiagnosed us.
 
It is time we collectively sued back and get this medical problem out in the open so that this doesn't continue to happen to more and more of our loved ones.  I don't give a d*** about the people who have never been through this and don't "believe" in it.  I care about us and our loved ones...carma will take care of the non-believers and they too will become "believers" when it personally affects them.

The recent action against the CDC by Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal is the only one that I am aware of. Like the rest of you, I cannot believe that they decided not to change the existing guidelines to reflect our best knowledge to-date in treating lyme. How many more will have to suffer before they finally get it right. I am in favor of taking legal action against the CDC.

I believe we need a patient-driven class action lawsuit against the CDC and IDSA, but the funding would be an issue, as would finding legal representation that would accurately represent our case.
