Sadly not a thing has been done since 2005 by the HSE or this government, to help patients with Lyme disease, or even make Lyme notifiable. Lyme continues to mis-diagnoses and under diagnoses in Ireland.
I was infected in 2007 and suffer daily because doctors failed to diagnose and treat me in the early stages when Lyme is treatable. It took a year and a half to diagnose my Lyme regardless that I had a rash and multiply typical symptoms.
Shame on the HSE in this matter. Make Lyme notifiable and prevent what has happened to me from happening to others.
