- financetechbro 2y agoDid you read the other comments? Lots of people giving anecdotal of doctors misdiagnosing their Lyme disease. It is a very valid concern
- halfmatthalfcat 2y agoNo I opened this post with my eyes closed, picked a random comment and responded. My point isn’t that misdiagnoses don’t happen, they happen for a lot of things other than Lyme, but the fact that people will take vengeance on doctors when the detection of Lyme is unpredictable (tests only really detect it within a certain timeframe of infection), the ambiguity around symptoms and their relation to Lyme, and the historical baggage around Lyme in general, makes it a very hard problem for medical professionals to give definite recommendations and or treatments.
- rpmisms 2y agoI'm a little tired of hearing excuses for medical professionals. Too many real issues are dismissed out of hand, and it's wrong.
- rpmisms 2y agoI'm going to find a doctor who will admit a real disease exists and actually consider it as a possibility. Many don't, and it's irresponsible. Report irresponsible doctors. They aren't hurting for cash.
