      @missassunshine i too can find the list of "Peer Reviewed Evidence of Persistence of Lyme Disease..." (http://drgregorybach.com/media/accfb900cef6fda5ffff80d0ffffe905.pdf …) and your ability to copy+paste it does not persuade me, nor does this list of wildly misinterpreted research. do not @ me 300+ times please

      @missassunshine instead of linking all these studies, could you interpret just one?

      we’re in agreement then! long-term IV antibiotic intervention for “chronic lyme” would be an insane thing to do, considering that these symptoms appear to be *psychological*

      we should definitely treat their fatigue / pain / insomnia / depression symptomatically, but in the absence of clinically detectable infection, we won't really consider their history of Lyme

      maybe someday we'll get some evidence that Lyme exposure has some wild epigeneric effect, but until then the chronic Lyme movement is largely based on junk science and dangerously unfounded "treatment options." it's enabled medical child abusers and created unnecessary costs

      Referencing “chronic Lyme crowd” is open acknowledgement that a large patient pool exists that is currently unhappy & has significant quality of life concerns associated with Lyme disease exposure. #LymeAwarenessMonth

      i’m intrigued by this study and the ~15 papers that cite it, especially this thesis (https://scholarship.claremont.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2375&context=scripps_theses …), but my big point remains: people should not seek aggressive antibiotic treatments for subjective symptoms w/ no clinical evidence of infection

          Replying to @bruceekirk @RealMorgellons and

          This isn’t largely a debate about long term antibiotic use. This debate is about the first rules of medical ethics. Restoring patient autonomy & expansion of patient options. The arguments on absence of infection will be fixed w gold standard on detection of Borrelia Burgdorferi

          To be honest, wingnut loons are still going to harass and berate #ChronicLyme patients even after the tests are accurate. These people have invested years in spreading the false narrative that Lyme cannot persist beyond low doses of antibiotic intervention. It's their #reputation

          Come on Bruce, you people go ape-shit even when there is serologic evidence. We don't need people like you telling us our doctors don't know what they're doing, and sure don't need you drumming up hate for our treatment by spreading misinformation.

          Doesn't hurt to be thorough in your studies: "Furthermore, comparable studies have suggested persistent infection after antibiotic therapy as a cause of chronic symptoms in humans [38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60]."

          This is actually a great study: "These biomedical results have implications for improved CLD patient health outcomes and credibility for CLD as a legitimate disease on a biological and sociological level."
