Federal Lyme Conference - Patient Testimonies, 2016

What we know to be true from these personal testimonies is this:  there is a Lyme crisis all across Canada, which only continues to grow.  We also know that the patients who suffer - they are the experts. 
The Federal Lyme Framework which was finalized in May 2017 neglected to include the Voice of the patients and indeed, this patient voice is absolutely critical to understand the complexity of Lyme disease.  Evidence based medicine invites patients’ values and preferences alongside clinical judgement and relevant scientific evidence - who better to ask than the ones who suffer each and every day.  
​
If you want to understand the Truth about Lyme disease, please, take the time to watch these videos and step into the stories of Canadians who were brave to speak out with Hope that their collective Voice would be heard, acknowledged and Action taken.  Thanks to CanLyme for recording these important Testimonies.
