The symptoms of Lyme are very real and in my case had physical manifestations on my skin. I highly doubt that "more positive thinking" fixes that kind of stuff.

Edit: just to be clear - the main issues were "under the skin," and very much in line with what's described in the article.




You've never heard of stress rashes? I have a friend who gets them all the time. She gets them after a few weeks of stress, like studying for an exam.

I don't want to diminish your suffering, just that there are other explanations for it. The mind is powerful thing!


I should have made it clear that there's never been any doubt about the initial infection. I had the bull's eye and was diagnosed correctly. The point I am making is about what happens once you finish your initial 10-30 day treatment and the symptoms continue to persist.
