Morgan Planning Speedy Return To Tv Show

U.S. soap star Debbi Morgan is planning to return to her role on hit show All My Children in two months after undergoing treatment for Lyme disease.

The actress recently revealed she has been suffering from the condition, caused by bacteria from a tick, for over 15 years.

She was forced to take a career break in December (10) to seek medical attention for the advancing condition, with programme writers working Morgan's absence into the storyline, sending her pregnant character Dr. Angela Baxter Hubbard away to San Francisco, California to visit her daughter.

The 54 year old is remaining upbeat as she receives treatment for the illness in a bid to curb the symptoms, which include severe fatigue, arthritis and heart problems.

A source tells the National Enquirer, "She is in good spirits and says she doesn't anticipate any problems...

"Debbi didn't want to leave the show because she has a contract with ABC and she's a real trouper. But it got to the point she couldn't do the show and get treatment at the same time, so she didn't have a choice."

But Morgan is planning a fast return to the series: "She is going to get aggressive treatment and is hoping to be back on All My Children in a couple of months."

Lyme-Aware     (2)

Lyme Disease is not rare. Until our society comes to terms with that, the endless stories like Debbie’s will continue. It is often misdiagnosed or improperly treated at the onset. The guidelines for treatment of Lyme Disease are insufficient and the testing is very inaccurate; until measures are taken to change these things, more and more will continue to suffer and become chronic. It is time to take the medical proof and evidence and use it and not base the treatment guidelines on merely opinion. Look at ILADS.org or California Lyme Disease Association’s website for some very helpful information. It is time to protect our children and make a difference. Gather together and ask for a change in the testing procedures and treatment guidelines.
