About a month ago I relaunched my quest to get diagnosed with Lyme disease. I finally found a PCP who listened to me, after years of being ignored, and this morning I embark on part two of my journey: specialists.
I've come back to the blog both to process my own experience and to help others learn a little more about this controversial and complicated disease. I will post more as time goes on but I wanted to start by sharing this comprehensive article by the president of the International Lyme and Associated Disease Society (ILADS). There's some medical language to parse through but it's still very useful and includes a symptom list that I found both haunting and magical. I was surprised to learn that some of the things I've been experiencing for years can be attributed to Lyme.
