    So after my run-in with the chronic Lyme disease crowd on Twitter last week, I did some thinking about my use of the term "fake disease." Amazingly, a Twitter encounter led me to change my mind about how we refer to these bogus diagnoses.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/fake-diagnoses-not-fake-diseases/ …

        agree, but i think we all accept that. It's known with Lyme that most people who get a chronic Lyme diagnosis either have unexplained symptoms without concrete evidence of Lyme, or they have some other disease altogether. Nothing trivial about either scenario.

        My experience interacting with the same crowd has led me to the same conclusion. The hard part is how to help properly diagnose and treat them?

        Careful. Don't want to start a internet trend of people changing their minds.

        I often use the word inaccurate.
