Dear Dr. Waldherr,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for your help, dedication and the great support you gave my father!

Dear lab team,

I would like to thank you on behalf of my husband and of course of our whole family.

When my husband's health suddenly started to deteriorate 6 months ago, we had no idea what was wrong. We went to our family doctor and had him checked over - but nothing was found. We went to another GP - more tests - nothing definite was found - we were referred to a neurologist.

Dear Dr. Waldherr,

I would like to thank you for your sensitive, competent approach! As you know, I have been going from one doctor to another for years.

Dear Dr. Czech-Schmidt,

Thank you for giving me an appointment at such short notice. You know all about my medical history and what I have had to go through over the years.

Dear doctors,

My husband and I would like to thank you with all our hearts for the diagnosis, advice and treatment plan for our son Thomas! The communication between you and our family doctor is great; he is very open to the subject of "Lyme disease" and follows your treatment plan to the letter.

My name is Ralf B., I'm now 46 years old.
About 14 years ago, I unwittingly contracted Lyme disease, possibly from a horse fly bite. I didn't develop a rash or flu-like symptoms. Since then, I have had various health problems: bouts of depression, decreasing stamina, difficulties concentrating, insomnia and occasional attacks of paralysis (paraesthesia, as my doctors called it, i.e. feelings of numbness, particularly in my legs). I consulted several doctors but no accurate diagnosis was made during the first few years. The usual line was "somatisation disorder".
