Some doctors and medical boards deny that chronic Lyme disease exists, yet, any patient who has repeatedly tried different treatments to no avail will tell you otherwise.

oui, c'est vrai

I feel a rumbling in my mud kitchen. I'm about to lay a seropositive deuce.

well now see...here is where I have to side with the ordinarily crazy hypochondriacs

no one argues residual, long term, possibly lifetime symptoms in a dog that went with undiagnosed lyme for any length of time.
My little terrier is an excellent example...he randomly has "shifting lameness" after a treated bout with lymes. He does not test positive any longer on any titer but he has residual symptoms that randomly flare up...a baby aspirin and the dog is fine but still

I've heard of more than one dog that was eventually euthanized because of long term neurological problems from lymes...say snapping at flies that aren't actually there suggesting hallucinations

and no one disputes this but suddenly when it comes to a different mammal, people, its a huge debate. I don't get that.

I don't know that they have any sort of active infection per see but why not a long term residual affect to which there may not be any real treatment to eradicate?

My question is who fucking cares about lyme?
