    Dr. Richard Horowitz's talk on "Multi-system Infectious Disease Syndrome"

    I've been clipping away at Horowitz' book "Why Can't I get Better..." On Lyme & MSIDS although I had to push myself to read yet another book concerning why I feel like crap, I dutifully plodded through Horowitz' book (boy am I glad I did).

    Pets for chronic illness. Has anyone benefited from them?

    They are the most significant source of daily joy and my girls (3 Chihuahua's) make me giggle with their antics. My husband does feed/bathe them, I help Dry when I'm able (they weigh roughly 3 lbs each) Also, as unrealistic as it may appear, Race Track Greyhounds rescues are wonderful & calm...
