A sign from god the evil suffer.

Coming from the party that invented hatred and division in this country. Dr. John the voice of insanity consuming our Media these days. Brought to you by You lie job kiling Joe Wilson and the mushroom tea drinkers supported by the koch snorting brothers. This is the games the republicans like to play infuriate the american people, insult every religeon (except the extremist Dominionism pretending to be conservatives) insult every single race (except white) attacking hard working people and the poor not to mention our seniors as scapegoats to balancing budgets on their backs to protect the greed of the other 2% that have been sucking the life out of our country in the name of profit. And Dr. John wants to call liberal democrats the problem. I find this laughable at best. Oh Yeah by the way along with your talking points trying to blame all liberals for this, I happen to be a Republican voted Republican all my life until the invasion of the maddness of the extremist Taliban, obstructionist now I am embarassed to even admit I voted for any of those fools. What is in the house today is not the republican party I grew up with and Joey has just become one of them instead of standing up for what is right not what is polically safe.

My name is Phil Wood from Greenwood SC, I am very saden to hear that you have contracted lyme disease. I have been fighting the battle of the 1st workers comp claim reported in SC for 9 years. I have won 5 to 6 different court cases and have many judges orders to pay medical bills and medicines, PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE, But you know its very strange that the only words i seem to hear is IT DONT EXIST IN SC.My Prayer is that you will be the one might can stand up and tell the GOVERMENT it does exist in SC and thousands of people do have it. If you look up phil wood lyme disease you can follow my story from start to present.(8-19-2011)
God has chosen me to try to help others with LYME DISEASE--Maybe you can help others as well.To this day even with judges orders I still fight the doctors, lawyers goverment and insurance to follow what the judge has ordered. If anyone who reads this can help make the insurance follow these court orders, it will help thousands of sick people in SC from going through what I have been through.---GOD BLESS YOU

Lyme Disease is in every state! It is not simply cured by a small cycle of antibiotics..there are thousands and thousands of people who have been treated with a simple cycle of antibiotics and are still very sick! Mr Wood I am so very sorry to read about your illness and your fight to get the proper treatment. The laws in this country regarding Lyme Disease treatment/disability/workermens comp/health insurance etc..need to change.

Lyme disease, a growing health threat, is not being addressed in SC.The "powers that be" have told our doctors that Lyme is not a problem here. Years ago, I asked a doctor about LD and he said: "We don't waste our time studying an illness that we'll see only one bizarre case in a lifetime." Others say "It isn't here." If you don't learn about it and don't look for it, it won't be diagnosed, so statistics won't show it is present. But absence of proof is not proof of absence. Thankfully, some doctors diagnose it, especially if the classic bull's eye rash is present. Then one has to wonder: will they prescribe enough treatment or consider coinfections? If antibiotics are not strong enough and given long enough, the patient may seem cured, but this bacteria can hide out and flare up much later like the chicken pox virus causes shingles. Many people I've known with an established case of Lyme have relapsed with mainly the heart, brain, and joints being affected. In a few cases, the person died. Saint Jerome's words are so true: "It is worse still to be ignorant of your ignorance." The International Lyme & Associated Diseases Society is made up of doctors who have treated thousands of cases of LD and have learned that the standard dose of antibiotics does not eliminate this bacteria. Lab tests should never be used to rule out LD. It is a clinical diagnosis!! My family has experienced Lyme. Because of that, I wouldn't wish this insideous disease on my worst enemy!!

Congressman Wilson,
Please support HR 2557, which requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a tick-borne diseases advisory committee. I certainly hope you do not develop chronic Lyme; but I request you support all of the men, women and children who continue to be plagued by this disease without proper diagnosis, treatment or I.V therapy covered by insurance.

I am a native Charlestonian and contracted Lyme Disease while camping in Myrtle Beach State Park in April 2010. I have a positive western blot test and STILL was left untreated by 2 infectious disease docs, 1 internist, and 1 rheumatologist in Charleston. My symptoms, history of a tick bite, and positive test were COMPLETELY ignored by the local medical profession. Luckily, I have the resources to be treated by a LLMD out of state. Many do not have that luxury.
I was told by both infectious disease MDs that "Lyme disease does not exist in South Carolina.". Instead of treating me, I was offered anti-depressants and lip service. I am still outraged by the lack of medical care I received.

I urge you to support HR 2557 so that others who call south Carolina home won't be abandoned by our "stellar" medical community.
