    No, because that denies that it is linked to the initial Lyme infection somehow and may well have a completely different cause than the more general chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia. Again, that would be like telling people just to call long covid “chronic fatigue.”

      Those other conditions can be triggered by infections so I don’t see what the issue is given the enormous amount of bullshit baggage brought in by calling it chronic lyme.

        I had already typed up a response to this when I noticed you went back and edited your previous comment to add shit about me “playing games.” So nevermind, not worth it. I’m tired of this obnoxious thing where you make these personal accusations like how I’m “playing games” and about “my posts” (while repeatedly editing your own!) when you don’t even know what you’re talking about wrt to me or the topic. It’s not worth trying to engage with someone who pulls that comment editing shit and attacks me personally for things they made up whole cloth. I’m not playing games here and anyone reading this who wants to learn more about the reality of Lyme and the very real long term problems it causes in many patients diagnosed with it, as well as the hype around unsupported explanations for them that are almost certainly garbage (which I never denied) are welcome to do so without me having to defend myself against your weird toxicity.

          All my comments were edited seconds after posting them when I noticed things I wanted to change. imo it’s toxic to ascribe doubt of pseudoscientific bullshit to liberalism. As though our scientific view of society isn’t what puts us above liberal magical thought about how the market solves everything. I almost certainly know more about lyme than you do.
