There are so many arguments either way whether Lyme is sexually transmitted or not. What gets me is that there are so many families that the whole families seem to be infected, so why are there not any studies going on? If it is because there is no funding, then maybe some media needs to be giving attention to this subject so that funding “becomes” available like it is for many less epidemic diseases.

Tell us what you think from your own experiences.
Lisa, My husband and I have the exact same infections. We had different symptoms in the beginning but then we both got hit hard at the same time. WE were busy taking care of Bryan and really scared that we were going to lose him. LLMD’s talk about how they are finding that stress brings out the symptoms and it sure did. Testing revealed that we both had the exact same parasites, bacteria, viruses.
Aww Im so sorry to hear that Vicki, but it doesn’t surprise me. I am hearing stories like this more and more, sadly. We really need research.
