      Yeah, and it isn't a problem that there are so many people who don't believe Lyme disease is real, because it isn't.

          Stop trying to hook the chronic lyme scam bandwagon to other stuff. Your posts are very much "one of these things is not like the other".

            Um... stop accusing me of weird bullshit while denying reality and calling a medical reality and the experience of countless disabled people pseudoscience?

            Anyway, ashiniadash, here you can see why that topic is high on the list of controversial wikipedia pages. Libs gonna lib ig.

              The medical reality is the symptoms people experience. The complete bullshit is telling people this is due to mystical nonexistent spirochetes in their blood that can only be treated with a long course of IV antibiotics. This has absolutely fucking nothing to do with liberalism, jfc.

                telling people this is due to mystical nonexistent spirochetes in their blood that can only be treated with a long course of IV antibiotics.

                Right, that's exactly what I said. Just like I said Long Covid is actually the result of vaccines. Seriously, you're telling me "my posts" (btw, what are you even referring to? Do we have a history or something?) are this thing you've made up in your head about me because I am pointing out the FACT that a condition exists despite many misled denialists. Chronic Lyme is as real as long covid is even though we don't know what the underlying cause of it is.

                The medical reality is the symptoms people experience

                No shit! Which is because Lyme Disease is real! Fucking hell, what is your problem?

                  Calling it chronic lyme links it to a mechanical explanation that is totally nonsensical. Just call it chronic fatigue syndrome then, or fibro. You can't play games here, you know what calling it chronic lyme means. There isn't even a coherent agreed-upon set of symptoms.

                    No, because that denies that it is linked to the initial Lyme infection somehow and may well have a completely different cause than the more general chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia. Again, that would be like telling people just to call long covid "chronic fatigue."

                      Those other conditions can be triggered by infections so I don't see what the issue is given the enormous amount of bullshit baggage brought in by calling it chronic lyme.

                        I had already typed up a response to this when I noticed you went back and edited your previous comment to add shit about me "playing games." So nevermind, not worth it. I'm tired of this obnoxious thing where you make these personal accusations like how I'm "playing games" and about "my posts" (while repeatedly editing your own!) when you don't even know what you're talking about wrt to me or the topic. It's not worth trying to engage with someone who pulls that comment editing shit and attacks me personally for things they made up whole cloth. I'm not playing games here and anyone reading this who wants to learn more about the reality of Lyme and the very real long term problems it causes in many patients diagnosed with it, as well as the hype around unsupported explanations for them that are almost certainly garbage (which I never denied) are welcome to do so without me having to defend myself against your weird toxicity.

                          All my comments were edited seconds after posting them when I noticed things I wanted to change. imo it's toxic to ascribe doubt of pseudoscientific bullshit to liberalism. As though our scientific view of society isn't what puts us above liberal magical thought about how the market solves everything. I almost certainly know more about lyme than you do.

        Acute Lyme disease is 100% unarguably real, the issue is chronic Lyme disease which is based on pseudoscience. The people are most likely suffering from some other idiopathic disease and are being taken advantage of for profit

          Right yes, I was referring to chronic lyme.
