From what I know, there's no sure way of diagnosing Chronic Lyme. There is no real proof that it exist. That doesn't mean that the symptoms attributed to Chronic Lyme doesn't exist. http://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/chronic-lyme-disease-myth-reviewing-the-evidence/ http://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/chron... Now, attributing any symptoms like this to hypochondria should of course only be done by a licenced medical doctor. However I also think that there is a great deal of misunderstanding about hypochondria. I believe that hypochondria is quite akin to synesthesia. It's not really by choice as it affects the perception. Emotional or mental states feed back into the perception in a way that can't be distinguished from "real" perceptions. The pain is felt, not "imagined". But triggered in an unconscious way by the imagination. It might be an evolutionary artefact from developing ways to identify bodily problems in moments of distress. And when the cause of the distress is hard to identify it is attributed to something close by.
