get the NHS to recognise and treat chronic Lyme disease
For those unfortunate enough to be bitten by a lyme invested tick, a course of antibiotics can cure the disease, however, for a small portion of individuals, the disease can become a chronic and disabling disease. Currently, due to a lack of awareness and willing to understand the illness by the NHS & Department of Health, sufferers of this debilitating disease are being denied the treatment they desperately need and are having to raise money to get treatment in private clinics in the US, where there is a greater understanding of the illness.
This is unacceptable. Please sign this petition to force the government to address this issue and end the needless suffering of these poor people.
More information about Lyme disease can be found a: www.lymediseaseaction.org.uk
Thank you,
Wendy
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Neither the Department of Health nor the Government is responsible for the treatment of individual patients, which is a matter for trained clinicians. The provision of specific services is the responsibility of NHS England and the local NHS.
