Lyme Study in Boston on Chronic Lyme Disease
Anyone know anything about the Study in Boston by Mark Klempner at
Tufts
University on CLD? How do you get in touch with them?
The phone number is (617)-636-4893.
Also, I'm trying to
find out what they consider "extensive" iv antibiotic treatment, as
these
people are excluded from the study.
Yes, patients with more than 60 days of past intravenous antibiotics
are
excluded from the study. I don't believe there is a limit on orals.
Further information can be found at:

Details of this study are also being discussed in a separate thread
within
this newsgroup.

Just be aware that they will ask you to sign over your
medical records and if your records contain some information about
a psychiatric diagnosis (before/after Lyme diagnosis) they
may try to say that such and such a % had a history of a
mental illness.
Go to this website (above) and read about the researchers
for a bead on their 'tude.
