In response to a post on Facebook about getting a Lyme disease diagnosis for a not-quite-well child after a few trips to the doctor and being “one seriously pushy mother with the doctor’s office,” there were nearly 100 congratulatory comments. Here’s a sampling:
- Great catch, mom!
- Good job mom!!
- Way to follow your gut!
- Great Mom! Persistence works!
- Excellent job Dr. Mom!
- Great catch and very lucky the test cooperated.
- Thank God for Mommy’s gut feeling

- Good instincts mom!
- Mother’s intuition is always the best.

Phil, Speaking of miracle life-savers, have you tried Elysium’s BASIS that came out of MIT? (https://www.wired.com/2016/07/confused-elysiums-anti-aging-drug-yeah-fda/)
Mz: Nobody has encouraged me to take this product. From this I infer that there is little demand for my immortality…
Bill Burr got it right when he said, women are constantly patting themselves on the back…
We are truly doomed. Lyme Disease is just as real as Fibromyalgia or EpsteinBarr.
My children suffer from PPM (paranoid medical mum). This means being pushy with specialists instead of GPs. I would say this has been a pain a few times but worked well for one child on the third Ophthalmologist (there were five ophthalmologists in the end not including registrars and fellows who were involved). If, however, you shop around in Australia you can get yourself a Lyme disease diagnosis from some slightly cracked doctors – we simply don’t have it here and nor do we have the species that can spread it. Yes some people get sick but that doesn’t mean they have Lyme disease! Anyway, my wife was well congratulated on Facebook also… mumma’s intuition.
Years ago, I chose the balmy weather and beautiful beaches of Southern California over the cold, wet, weather of the American NorthEast. Idiots on my facebook feed, including anti-vaxxers, Chakra adjusters and yogis were all stuff that I put up with in order to enjoy SoCal’s abundant physical comforts. Thank you for removing my last reason for regretting the move.
