Dear Sir, This is a CLINICALLY diagnosed illness. Why all this controversy? Lyme is out there and is being denied over over again. I've been living with this nightmare for 13 years as I was told repeatedly I couldn't have Lyme in WA. It took SIX years to be diagnosed. This is not unusual. Drs are terrified to dx/treat this illness. Can you imagine having a severely disabling disease where this is the case? Make dx EARLY, treat aggressively, problem solved. This is insanity.
