    Our Battle Ongoing takes a look into the lives of Australians across the nation currently suffering from Lyme disease or a Lyme-like illness. Every individual has their own unique story as symptoms differ from person to person, but they are all united in a common cause of seeing recognition come to those suffering now and for the generations to come. With little to no help currently available, some have to take drastic measures in order to receive treatment. Our Battle Ongoing brings to light the tragedy of living with an invisible illness in Australia.

    And here we are 5 years later, and patients are being told the same thing, even here in the US. It's absolutely disgusting and inhumane the way Lyme disease patients are treated. Whoever those are in power that are responsible for the mishandling of so much suffering, deserves stiff punishment. I don't mean jail, fines, or death. No, they deserve to feel the torturous effects of Lyme themselves, without any additional help that would be available to the general population. That would be the most appropriate punishment.

    It’s odd how the symptoms of Lyme disease are so close to Fibromyalgia, lupus and other autoimmune conditions. When you have been suffering so long and it becomes your daily life no one believes that any one person could tolerate the pain….but we do. We suffer so much. I’m in a flare up and for days I can’t walk or move my legs, rashes, hair falls out, the exhaustion feels like you’re dying….i throw up a lot…and no one understands…or “Why would you need pain meds?” …Let me hit you with a 2x4 in all your joints for a month every couple months for years…..then ask me WHY?!!

      @Dana no one seems to be able to help me. When diagnosed in 2004 they immediately put me on doxy but I had a severe allergic reaction to it and was never taken back for other medications or treatments. A few years later the doctor lost his license and practice....records were sent home and my mother who was a hoarder and narcissistic blindly threw away my only documents proving it. So for years I've looked for help but without a positive test they all refuse. And holistic doctors who only focus on lyme and coinfections can't help do to how deep in my brain it's gotten and how badly sensitive and allergic I am to alot of remedies they'd put me on....so they just tell me to keep doing whatever it is I'm doing and good luck type of thing. I'm approaching 19 years this July.

      @@LadyRedBird I’m so sorry. That must be beyond maddening. Have you tried contacting the lab that processed the test? I had to do that for one of my kids’ tests. The diagnostician we saw closed her practice after a bad case of Covid that resulted in Long Haul. The records were mailed to us, but one of the tests was missing. I called the lab and they couldn’t release the info, but they put me in contact with the records department at the hospital that they were affiliated with, and they sent me the info.
      I’m also not under treatment. My case has become very complex and all of my drs, including a CDC doctor who called my immunologist when the lab accidentally sent him all of my test results , have all told me that I need to go to Mayo. Mayo refused my case. I’m about to start calling out East, but that’s a long drive for me.
      Did you see that the CDC is finally recognizing that Chronic Lyme is a valid diagnosis? Their position change came after a study was published in May or June. The researchers found a persistent marker in the spinal fluid of those who still had symptoms years after the initial infection. Maybe that would be a way around not having medical records?

    Wow, what a great documentary! I will say even here in the United States if you can't fine a Lyme "literate" doctor all the patients here also go through many many Drs, and misdiagnosis, unnecessary testing etc...Its such a shame that so many Drs are in denial all the while the ungodly suffering these patients go through! seriously who would make these symptoms up? who wants to live a miserable lonely painful existence?? especially when most of the attention they "supposedly " seek turns out to be negative and disbelief by doctors who took an oath to "do no harm" and how do they explain all the physical symptoms that are impossible to deny?? I'm ashamed of the medical field constantly blowing this REAL disease off! my heart goes out to all the sufferers and I pray everyday they find good, solid treatment and begin to heal and get some type of quality of life back....I truly believe there is power in knowledge and as hard and frustrating as it is please please please never give up....More research and testing needs to be poured into this chronic disease...so again thank you for bringing this to the forefront, together we will all make a difference and hopefully make future medicine appropriate for these sufferers....Amd lastly I believe if every Dr got very sick (preferably with an "invisible chronic illness" very early In their career and were scared with the lack of knowledge and utter denial it would breed way better doctors!!! Bravo on a documentary well done BRAVO!!! never give up those that believe and want go help are out there! God bless and God speed to an amazing recover ❤❤❤

When the money runs out, you are left to die without treatment! The co-infections and related parasitic infections are pathogenic and destroy organs. Most heartbreaking journey ever!! I began suffering years later after a major spine surgery and still battling. The cardiac damage that we both have has no cure. Praying for new laws and more support. The gaslighting inflicts unspeakable damage. Family and friends need to take the time to learn so that they can at least offer emotional support. Feeling alone, attacked, and labeled only impedes healing! The body's immune system can't work properly while left in fight or flight mode! We are living in fear constantly due to economic abuse because the court system refuses to even believe this despite lab testing, physician letters, and other tests that can't possibly be fabricated! After 6 opinions all having the same exact conclusions, one would think it's rather obvious! Praying for all sufferers!

    Thank you for a great doco. This is a national disgrace. Australia had perhaps the best response in the world to HIV/ AIDS in the 80s/90s. What has happened to our medical system since then (other than privatisation) that makes the doctor's response to Lyme (the new HIV/ AIDS on a bigger scale) the worst in the world? Australians also (including new Australians) have become too materialistic and greedy over the past 20 years and lost their care for each other, leading to the current psycho-spiritual-environmental-health crisis.
    When I was in medical school the first year students were surveyed as to their top 3 reasons for wanting to be a doctor, they said 1) money 2) prestige 3) because my parents did it. Anything altruistic were down the bottom of the list (numbers 15-20). Of course it did not help that Sydney Uni took 80% of its students from full fee paying rich asian families (only 15 students were from Australia). So this is what it looks like now. I dropped out due to these attitudes (among other attitudes like all disabled babies should be aborted) and in recent years chose to work overseas.
    PS - I speak from experience when I say don't bother with infectious diseases doctors in Australia, they are the worst, particularly those of the northern Sydney area. However, one would think they should be leading the way.

Question: For everyone in Australia, do you feel like more LLMD's are coming out to treat it.. or are they keeping a low profile? Are your doctors being threatened? Do you have medical insurance that will cover your treatment? Do you have any alternative, holistic doctors that are helping you? Would love to hear if you are dealing with the same issues we are here? Too many people are sick here to ignore anymore.. it's slowly changing here, but still too slow!

    My husband and I both struggled with Lyme as well and doctors told us for over 6 years that we were nuts. So the lack of compassion and knowledge surrounding Lyme is global. The only thing I can say now is thank God they told use we were nuts because that only motivated us even further to find an answer on our own which is what eventually got us well again without any medical intervention at all! Even today if there was a treatment available for Lyme's patients through main stream medicine, I can honestly say we wouldn't even take it because we have absolutely no faith in conventional medicine anymore. I believe that that industry (Big Pharma) needs to slowly wither away and allow for newer technologies like electromedicine to take the spot light but we all know that won't happen because sick people make them a lot of money! Quantum physicists and doctor's who are willing to abandon old theories of medicine is where we need to focus our attention.

    I definitely think there is an issue within the medical community with medically unexplained symptoms in general. I understand doctors want to be able to provide solutions for people and can get frustrated when people are presenting with very real symptoms but they’re not able to see what’s going on. This does not automatically mean that it’s psychiatric just because we can’t easily see or understand the physiological problem. Regardless of whether disease is present or not, if people are experiencing symptoms help and support is required, not dismissal

I have a huge lesions on my back and they put pressure on my spine with lots of fluid and junk in them.

    lyme is no joke. I am from Connecticut USA where Lyme originated and my sons dad got Lyme, it’s actually not even one microorganism anymore. It comes with five tickborne illnesses together. Hardly any doctors really know about it even when they take blood test there’s only like two labs that really know what they’re doing and even when they check your thyroid. They’re not checking the availability of the thyroid hormones. Your stomach is out of whack. You can’t eat you have brain fog you’re anxious. You just don’t feel right and you get gaslighted. As a nurse it’s very frustrating to even try to help. He has purchased millions of vitamins and naturopathic medicine and tried acupuncture and massage and cleaning out your blood in vitamin intravenous and light therapy and he therapy and you name it

    Medical doctors are not the only health professionals to behave this way.
    As a psychotherapist for 32 years, patients came to me after unsucessful treatment elsewhere. They reported that their previous therapist terminated treatment, declaring, "You are not ready for care, not motivated to improve."
    Translation: I failed to help you improve, but its your fault.....go away.
    I had ONE condition for my services: The person cooperate in the process, keep appointments, and provide honest feedback.....so that treatment can be modified to be effective. IN less than 5 cases I was unsuccessful. I told the patient that I was unable to help them, but I was referring them to someone that could.
    One patient said, "So, I am too sick to be helped?"
    My response, "No, untrue, I am not good enough to help you, but I know someone who is."

When I was a med student in the early 90's I could see it coming, hence I dropped out. At least back then, we had perhaps the best western medical system and research in the world. The top 3 reasons for med students choosing medicine when I was at Sydney Uni (by official survey) were 1) money 2) prestige 3) 'because my parents did it'. Also 80 of 100 students were rich asian students who had bought their way in (anyone tell the aussie students who missed out?). Any altruistic reasons were way down the bottom of the list, so this is the system we how have, and in fact many Aussies have voted for it somewhat.... (I am a Lymie too).

    Got bitten by tick lyme disease in 1995 the year spring before yellowstone reintroduced the grey wolf USA. Got MisDiagnosed with epilepsy 1998 in Australia .Does the illness need to be diagnosed and managed as Lyme disease? to be able to live life to it's fullest managing to live with it! vs Epilepsy ? As the pain symptoms still linger multiple decades 28years later

    In South Africa we have exactly the same scenario with the health department not recognising Lyme disease! Here many people have actually tested positive for Borrelia! Anti Biotics are the key, multiple regimans that get rotated in a pulse theraphy. Low iron levels high feratin levels are tell tale signs in blood tests!

      True, I found a doctor in Cape Town who has worked hard to help us with the disease, understands exactly what is needed to fight it. After 20yrs of misdiagnoses and suffering, she found what was wrong.

    When my son was about 7 months old I noticed a tick had burrowed in the top of his head. I directly took him to the hospital where the doctor gave him a shot of antibiotics. He was good after that. People need to be informed about ticks since it seems a quick dose of antibiotics will safe you a lifetime of pain.

    • @Herbertti3
      @Herbertti3 Před 5 lety +3

      Same goes for Finland. Doctors would not give the order to take the test. I resorted to private sector, they send my blood to Estonia-> test positive. Public sector, lets retest this because we don't trust it -> negative and now nothing. Headaches, dizziness, pain in joints my back is killing me, insomnia, insanely poor memory almost dementia level, panic attacks from nowhere triggered by nothing emotional infact I can hardly feel anything other but this sickness. To doctors I'm just mentally ill but not in any particular way so no diagnose no nothing if anything. Suffered more than 10 years already. Rich people here go to Germany get treated, unfotunately I'm poor.
      Simply put I'm feeling like I have 24/7 influenza but I just look like I haven't slept last nigh. I've had bulzzeye rash twice. First time age of 6 bullzeye rash spread over my whole leg before treated with 2-weeks of amoxicillin. Then again bulzzeye rash age 12, treated month after appearing with 2-weeks of amoxicillin. Age of 14 weird symptoms started accumulatng by age of 18 I was feeling really sick but yet looking healthy and even my parents were like what the heck I'm complaining nothings wrong.
      Now age 28 I'm starting to look like I have cancer or something, first gray hairs... You be the judge whats wrong, doctors won't even consider lyme.

    Patient: I am in so much pain for so long.
    Doctor: I am really smart. I dont have a clue what's wrong with you. I've determined that you are neurotic and need a psychiatrist.
    My diagnosis of the doctor: Hubis, pride, denial and cruelty.
    No one I know has Lymes. If a friend or family member were treated in this manner, my only reaction would be murderous rage.
    I dont expect a doctor to know everything.
    I do expect honesty, compassion and the dedication to investigate the cause of my suffering, or the humility to refer me to someone who can help me.

    imagine waking everyday so stiff you can barely move inside brain spine burn like acid your brain vibrating against your skull jaw locked shoulder severe pain so weak at times able to get out for only shortest time son an old lady mobility scooter and this is hard
    and this is good to what I was
    I can't have my daughter as much as I want
    now her symptoms coming back
    ama should be held accountable for this denial and to continue to slander and put restrictions on few drs brave enough to help us

    That was incredibly made. And heartbreaking. I am hoping to understand a part. How did the two buys and Ithink the mom also get it in the family where the dad was having rage Lyme episodes. Is it at times possibly contagious? Strep bacteria is spread so isn’t it plausible? And if it is in respiratory droplets. Help!
