I understand that people don’t like being told “you no longer have lyme disease” when they are still experiencing symptoms, because it can feel dismissive, but no one is ever saying that the only way to experience symptoms is an active infection.
Everyone has had bronchitis or something where you still feel cruddy after the disease is gone, and it takes a while to get back to 100%, but somehow, with Lyme, people don’t understand that.
Especially with covid, lots of people still had lingering symptoms like a cough that took a while to go away well after they started testing negative.
i think the fact that believe in chronic lyme is because they are being told its a possibility, if they have any symptoms, when it doesnt even fit symptoms of lyme. from those communities in different forums. one of the favorite things they like to do is, attributing any rash that looks like a bullseyes rash of lyme, or a neurological issue they attributed to it, when they were never near lyme infested woods before, also the type of ticks doesnt fit either.
the LLMD reels them in by other bunch of unsanctioned tests, so they keep coming back to them.
