I once thought I had chronic Lyme but eventually concluded it was overactive immune system related. The value of intentional bee stings is still plausible here as there seems to value in giving the immune system 'something else to work on'. One example is the intentional infection by intestinal tapeworm to alleviate allergies https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/may/23/parasitic-hookworm-jasper-lawrence-tim-adams https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/may/23/parasit... I thought it was interesting in the article that she was 'misdiagnosed as autoimmune arthritis'. I think it's reasonable that these autoimmune reactions could be triggered by Lyme or other factors. Curious that all the symptoms associated with Lyme are immune related (rashes, presence of antibody levels in the blood). The clue that an overactive immune system was causing my issues came from 23andme genetic testing show many genes associated with immune disorders. Also I found that Poison Oak / Ivy would trigger many of the issues including full body reactions for months.
