[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is chronic lyme said to not exist? I was bit by a tick a few years ago. Found the tick on me and it was a bugger to pull out. When I called my doctor they strongly encouraged me to do a course of antibiotics because no one will test ticks anymore. All ticks in this area are presumed to have lyme since it’s so prevalent. So if lyme is so prevalent in ticks, why do doctors believe chronic lyme doesn’t exist?[/quote] The CDC has a lot of good information: https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/postlds/index.html There is definitely a post-Lyme syndrome with long-last symptoms after an actual Lyme infection. This can happen with a lot of different viral or bacterial triggers. My dad had an autoimmune condition triggered by a bacterial infection. “Chronic lyme” is when there’s no actual evidence of a Lyme infection yet people claim all of their random symptoms are Lyme. Often treated by quacks with long term antibiotics. [/quote]
