@robertpopper Just out of curiosity, did your dad call you and your sibling(s) bambinos? My dad used to call us Bubbas! Also, I don't think you can vote if you are not subscribed to the Radio Times just FYI!
@Renmakesmusic Ren, enjoy your gig at Victoria Park, I'm sure it will be great :-) Please be aware however that Vicky Park is a tick hotspot! My son got a tick bite there when he was little and many other people have reported ticks bites there too. Raise Festival awareness and ticks ๐ซถ
This is a webinar about being a carer to a child with chronic illness - namely Lyme disease - and everything that you go through during this turbulent time. Thanks to Natalie for sharing her and her son's story so succinctly :-)
@garyseconomics Fair enough Gary, absolutely understand the need for you to rest - you've gone pretty hard for a long time. Hope you feel so much better soon. Your message is burning brightly out there - people are listening and acting. It has been worth it - the message is spreading :-)
@garyseconomics Just keep going Gary, it's going to get tough. Get those concrete solutions in place with the help of Zucman et al and take them to Burnham if you can. Will Burnham have the balls to do it? Not so sure. A change in consciousness takes time. The win may be two elections from now
@Renmakesmusic@niles70743 Ah phenomenal - looking forward to seeing which treatments will be available and what the space looks like - well done all :-)
@PunkyAce Here are the tests via ARMIN labs: 1) Borrelia Elispot CPDA. 2) CD3-/CD57+/CD56+/CD45+ Cells Hep & EDTA. 3) Tickplex Basic - Borrelia IgG/IgM antibodies (this is an ELISA IgG/IgM test for Borrelia burgdorferi and, unlike other antibody tests, includes persistent/round-body forms)
@PunkyAce We went straight to ARMIN labs for testing as we are based in the UK and our NHS doesn't acknowledge chronic Lyme. My son had numerous tests with ARMIN labs, some of which indicated a Lyme infection. The results were confirmed by a Lyme literate doctor X
@PunkyAce Ah ok, I obviously can't speak for Ren, but my son literally got ill over night. He had extreme fatigue, terrible brain fog - to the point where he couldn't read and he was an avid reader. He also got pains in the calf muscles in his legs. X
@PunkyAce@Renmakesmusic@fox5ny If you are concerned that you may have a Lyme infection and you are based in the UK, ARMIN labs can provide private tests for Lyme & co-infections. You have to pay for this out of your own pocket. If you are based in the US, then I believe IGENEX, would be the go-to for testing X
@meropemills I'm so very, very sorry you lost your precious Martha. Martha's Rule is going to save so many lives - thank you for fighting for Martha's Rule - what a gift to the UK. Sending love from the bottom of my heart ๐
O who could not love this version of Foundations, and how cute is the cheeky and gorgeous Ms Nash in this clip?? Such a seminal and evocative song for many I think ๐
