Thomas Grier, Lyme Researcher Needs Funding for Lab

My name is Tom Grier and I have been a Lyme patient advocate for over 20 years. Prior to being misdiagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis from 1989-1991, I was a scientist and worked in many areas of research, but by 1991 Lyme Encephalitis had taken its toll and I spent most of the next five years in bed in pain and unable to work or drive a car. As a microbiology graduate student I took the entire first two years of medical school courses excluding clinical rotations at the U of MN Duluth Medical School. During that time in 1977 under the auspices of Dr.s Tom and Betty Hamilton I developed a fast test version of the “fluorescent-antibody-coated-bacteria” test that could help determine if bacteria that was present in a bladder infection, had originated from a kidney infection (pyelonephritis).
