they call it chronic lyme, and they call these people LLMDs, plus naturopaths also are getting into the industry. its total pseudoscience, ive been in a forum and disputed the disease, and i was stalked out of the forum and hounded for even suggesting it, and most of the people allegeding they are suffering from symptoms, seem to be suffering from another condition altogether. they even use unsanctioned tests like igenex to reel people into the scam, its kinda sad. many people said they know loved ones spent 10s of thousands on the treatments with no alleviation in symptoms, its all side effects of Plant chemicals they are suffering from, plus antibiotics which cause nerve damage from long term use. i once fell into the rabbit hole once, later realized the PN i was suffering from is still an undiagnosed cervical/spine issue.
there seems to be similar than with shingles too, but not to the extent of lyme, at least on reddit, they are attributing every rash, or blister to a new shingles infection, when in fact its most likely contact dermatitis, and hsv1 reactivation. I had shingles myself and the symptoms were unpleasant, but its very uncommon to hav it more than once.
I understand that people don’t like being told “you no longer have lyme disease” when they are still experiencing symptoms, because it can feel dismissive, but no one is ever saying that the only way to experience symptoms is an active infection.
Everyone has had bronchitis or something where you still feel cruddy after the disease is gone, and it takes a while to get back to 100%, but somehow, with Lyme, people don’t understand that.
Especially with covid, lots of people still had lingering symptoms like a cough that took a while to go away well after they started testing negative.
i think the fact that believe in chronic lyme is because they are being told its a possibility, if they have any symptoms, when it doesnt even fit symptoms of lyme. from those communities in different forums. one of the favorite things they like to do is, attributing any rash that looks like a bullseyes rash of lyme, or a neurological issue they attributed to it, when they were never near lyme infested woods before, also the type of ticks doesnt fit either.
the LLMD reels them in by other bunch of unsanctioned tests, so they keep coming back to them.
