Actor Dennis Quaid joins RFK Jr. in taking on Lyme disease and the devastating consequences of missed diagnoses.
“Nearly half a million Americans are diagnosed and treated for Lyme disease annually.”
“Behind every one of those numbers is a person, a family, and a community looking for answers.”
“I know how devastating that search can be.”
“My good friend, the late Kris Kristofferson, spent years living with a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.”
“But Alzheimer’s wasn’t the problem.”
“He actually had Lyme disease.”
“When doctors finally diagnosed him correctly in 2016 and started the right treatment, his symptoms did improve.”
“His story isn’t unique, and that’s exactly why these new actions matter.”
