We helped another person find out she has Lyme after a decade of being sick and misdiagnosed with “CFS” and Fibromyalgia. But she also has a ton of mental symptoms, anxiety, depression, disassociation, etc…. Something wasn’t right, and we’ve been trying for months to get her to understand that she needed better testing. The stars finally aligned, and she’s getting treatment now!
This is such a great feeling. I’m so blessed to be a part of it in any way… Another person who doesn’t have to think they are crazy! And another person who can be an example for others. ♥ Praise God.

It really is amazing how often Lyme is misdiagnosed even years after people have begun to “understand” it. Not that long ago, it was a disease completely written off as a mental illness and treated akin to schizophrenia, with shock treatment and lithium. Now, its understood and treated as a real disease but still grossly misdiagnosed. No energy? Insomnia? Depression? Must be Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Aching muscles? Phantom pains? Fibromyalgia. Wait, what’s this eye stuff and headaches and comprehension issues? –really amazing how rare it is that a doctor puts it all together.

I agree. I mean, honestly, what are they going to medical school for, some of these people? Being so grossly uninformed about anything other than the common cold is definitely opposiste of “do no harm” in my book.
