Lyme’s symptoms mimick other things like Alzheimer’s and fibromyalgia, making diagnosis difficult some times. Sometimes you need a ‘Lyme Literate Medical Doctor’ who specializes in tick borne illnesses to diagnose Lyme’s.
Early stage Lyme’s is treatable with NSAIDS and doxycycline antibiotics, comrade. According to a family member who is a FNP in Lyme territory, even the later symptoms are treatable.
I’m genuinely asking, is it a failing of Uncle Sam or a failing of medical science? I get the impression it isnt the government but I’m also a pretty dumb kind of guy so
iirc fibromyalgia isn't a specific thing either, just "lol chronic pain we can't figure out" but the insurance companies need a formal category to pay out
Yeah. Fibromyalgia is "you have pain, we don't think you're just drug seeking, we're not investigating any further."
I just skimmed a Harvard Health article that broke it down to a failing of the economic system, which in turn led to a medical failing due to lack of research / lack of time to diagnose. The article ends by saying that the organization of affected people and local doctors could lead to increased care.
