Life with chronic Lyme disease ("post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome") sucks

We swear by these. I have several in my office for patient use, a couple in my car and a few more at home. Cheap insurance, and work on the tiny ones as well as the big, gross ones.

We have those too. Once you know there’s been ONE confirmed case, you never want there to be a second case.

My dog died young of kidney failure brought on by chronic Lyme disease.

Anyone who says it isn’t real can fuck right off.

My sympathies. I know that is no fun at all.

It’s known as post-treatment Lyme syndrome because it’s far from clear that it is “chronic Lyme disease”; it’s more likely that the Lyme infection triggers a chronic immune disorder that persists after the infection is eliminated, much like chronic fatigue syndrome can be triggered by mono.
