MI. Newscaster with Lyme

[Gadavies10]

Did anyone in Michigan see the channel 7 news last night. They did a special
report on Rob Cress who was the weatherman until 1993 when he got Lyme. He
looked real pathetic, like he was in a fog, he said he used to have Lyme, but
now his doctors tell him he has CFS and fibromyalgia. I remember he was treated
for lyme, IV for the first couple of years. He has since lost his job, wife and
family, he seemed sad, lonely and confused. It was a stupid report, no info to
pass to the public. I remember him being very popular in MI, a advid
outdoorsman. The CFS, Fibro dx sounds like a sham to me, what do you think ,
should I, or someone with greater knowledge, contact him. Its bugging me.

he still has lyme it never resolved

If you can get in touch with him, it might prove worthwhile. He's subject to
the same kind of misinformation that we are. Although it's certainly impossible
to know based on the little you heard what he's really go, he could well be
suffering from undertreated or mistreated LD that's still in his system.

If you want to try to help him and think you can get a message to him,
I think it's worth a try.

LYME DISEASE STILL A STRUGGLE FOR ROB KRESS

Published on 08/10/97, Article 2 of 6 found.

I'm always being asked "Whatever happened to" about former local radio
and television personalities. In recent years, former WXYZ (Channel 7)
weathercaster Rob Kress is the one I get asked about most. He's the
fellow with that distinctive orange-red curly hair.

Kress left the air four years ago because of Lyme disease, an acute
inflammatory disease caused by deer tick bites. He'd been with the
station for 16 years.

FORMER WEATHERCASTER KRESS IS RECOVERING

Published on 11/06/94, Article 3 of 6 found.

Former Channel 7 weathercaster Rob Kress is in a slow recovery, he
reports, from a long battle with chronic fatigue syndrome complicated by
Lyme disease. Kress, who did his last weathercast at WXYT-TV on
Halloween a year ago, reports the station informed him that as of
Oct. 31 his contract wouldn't be renewed.

Kress, now on Social Security long-term disability, says he understands
Channel 7's position because there's no guarantee when or if he will
ever be able to go back on the air.

WEATHERCASTER KRESS BATTLES TIRING ILLNESSES

Published on 12/12/93, Article 6 of 6 found.

"It gets so bad -- and I'm not ashamed to say this -- that I'll wake up
and sit on the edge of the bed and literally cry my eyes out for 15
minutes trying to figure out why I didn't have the energy to get up and
take a shower. What is going on? Why does everybody have more energy
than I do?" Rob Kress told me this past week, discussing how Lyme
disease and chronic fatigue syndrome have floored him, knocking him off
WXYZ-TV for two months.

The popular Channel 7 weathercaster is bedridden

As someone with Fibromyalgia, I hope you are objecting to the Dx of it and CFS as a sham because you know enough to NOT think he has the condition, NOT because you think a Dx of Fibromyalgia and CFS is a sham! Just had to say it!
