It seems pretty clear that chronic diseases with fatigue and pain symptoms are a real and poorly understood thing, even though it's pretty unlikely that Lyme has anything to do with it

[(Anonymous)]

Isn't it even possible that people are picking up some other previously unknown tick-borne disease?

I mean, there's one that causes basically a red meat allergy; I wouldn't be surprised if ticks carried something that's not Lyme but can kickstart autoimmune problems.

I don't know anyone who's had Lyme, chronic or otherwise, but I think there's yet another tick disease that's the big problem where I am; there are eight listed for my state, including Lyme.

Yeah, this. Chronic Lyme has been pretty thoroughly debunked as a thing - it's a bacterial infection, and like any other bacterial infection, if you take the proper antibiotics, they will wipe it out.

Now, it's entirely possible and even likely that someone might have lingering symptoms that were caused by the Lyme disease and what it did to their body while they had it (the same way that viruses can cause post-viral syndromes even when the virus itself is out of your body), but it's patently false that it somehow continues living in your body for months or even years once it's been treated with the proper antibiotics.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

The MC in this book explicitly says that she no longer has Lyme, just the long-term damage it left behind.
