The CDC says post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome or 'chronic lyme' doesn't exist. While i am suspicious of this claim, I know people who say they have it, and have subjected themselves to every treatment under the sun without any success.
- ceejayoz 7y ago> The CDC says post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome or 'chronic lyme' doesn't exist. You're conflating two terms. PTLDS exists, in patients who had Lyme but experience post-treatment symptoms. "Chronic Lyme" is different, and is largely problematic because the folks who believe they have it tend to have never actually been exposed to Lyme in the first place. https://www.niaid.nih.gov/diseases-conditions/chronic-lyme-disease https://www.niaid.nih.gov/diseases-conditions/chronic-lyme-d...
