Politics

I feel overwhelmed with the politics of Lyme. I just try not to read it or avoid it. I have watched Under Our Skin and read 4 Lyme books but I just have a hard time reading about the controversy because it just energy sapping and negative and sad. The only reason I am bringing it up is that I have an Immunoglobulin Subclass 2 deficiency and I was looking into getting IVIG (Intravenous Immunoglobulins) for it. My insurance company (Aetna) does not allow for IVIG treatment for Lyme. Seriously, just exhausting. I guess rich patients just pay for what they need anyway. I guess the question I am asking is, is there any way that I can raise my IgG subclass 2 without IVIG. Will treating the Lyme, allow them to raise on their own? In the words of a Lyme Doctor, "Lyme patients are truly some of the sickest people on the planet" and we really need support of the community including doctors, and infectious disease specialists and the like. It is unfortunate, yet understandable, that they operate within certain guidelines because their medical license is their living and they have invested alot of time, money and energy into getting it and don't want to lose it for treating Lyme. But seriously, get real. I guess the Lyme Doctors out their are the really, really self-sacrificial ones who their calling and their desire to help people rises above their concerns for their daily living. That or they have had Lyme and they know how bad it truly is.
