London, UK, 10th May, 2013. Protesters gather near to the Dept. of Health, Whitehall, today to raise awareness of Lyme Disease, a much maligned and misdiagnosed illness. Natasha Metcalf, 28, (pictured), has been battling the disease for 12 years after probably being bitten by a tick when she was 16. Her search for a correct diagnosis, after being told by British based doctors that she was 'depressed' took her to 40 doctors in 3 countries until she was correctly diagnosed in the US.
