With spirochetes they say alot of babies are "asymptomatic" however rashes they claim to be "eczema" is common. Peeling hands and feet are also a missed symptom that they say is "normal". Wonder why 1 in 30 kids have nu Neurodevelopmental delays....THIS is why and the testing that is NOT performed which should be mandatory.
This is a known fact … that stress on the immune system can bring Lyme out. We have many in our womens Lyme support group that symptoms didnt show up until after childbirth. We have so many coming down with Lyme after having Covid. It suppresses the immune system. Lyme can cause autoimmune responses causing autoimmune diseases. There is always a cause. Treat the cause. I had MS. When I came down with full blown Lyme, I found out it was Lyme the whole time. There is no mimic about it. Today my MS is gone and my Lyme is in remission.
Perhaps no symptoms arose because pregnancy is a state of lowered immune response? Similar to lupus symptoms easing up and coming back after giving birth, could this explain this woman's case?
The article states she was treated successfully with 3 weeks of doxycycline … really? That’s successful???
I seemed to have a flare up of crazy symptoms after I had endometriosis surgery. Wonder if hormonal things like birth or endo stirred up can cause things like autoimmune flares with Lyme.

Yes...I still have that problem from time to time. Brain fog, short term memory difficulties.
I couldn't remember names, my colleagues, students, etc... It was so embarrassing. Things got really bad before i got better. Horrible disease.
I've had Lyme disease for 33 years, needless to say back then they knew nothing about it. I went to every possible therapy you can imagine. I finally let it go this is something I'm going to have to live with
Have you all heard of exosomes ? I know they’re expensive but what do you think about them for Lyme ?
My daughter went undiagnosed for 5 years. At that point it had done its damage. Over 10 years later she still struggles.
I forgot where I was and couldn't get home..worst experience
It’s awful, worst part of my life!

In Poland a few months ago ILADS has been forbidden by medical authorities. We live in fact in f... authoritarian regime that lets people to die in torment.
I got infected at 18 and diagnosed at 40. I am now ,60. It has negatively impacted the majority of my life.

Lyme arthritis and periprosthetic joint infections - Daniel Cameron, MD, MPH

Lyme arthritis is a common complication of the disease. However, periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) caused by Lyme disease are rare.3 CommentsComment on Facebook
I got a staph infection after knee replacement. Three yrs later I still have severe pain in the joint. The surgeon wouldn’t discuss a connection to Lyme nor would he test the synovial fluid. This article didn’t say which IV and oral ABX’s were used to improve the infection. Any suggestions?
Have to disagree based on my personal experience. Even treated with oral abx just puts it on hold ie the resolution is temporary. My left knee was replaced 3 times and still swells. I am on long term abx that seems to keep it under control and the other lyme associated issues system wide. No enough bone to do another one, so oral antibiotics are probably on my menu for life. Dr Cameron I respect what you do to help folks alot, but I really wish you would have the gumption to come out against shots that destroy immune systems. I can't believe that you don't know better, you're too smart and on top of latest information to not know.
Just got a knee replaced (3rd prosthetic joint); recovery is not going well (4 months post op, still crutching, but at least no infection).
Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitors (used in cancer treatment) could reduce neurological symptoms in patients with chronic Lyme.
The study shows these inhibitors can decrease inflammation and cell death in brain and nerve tissues affected by Lyme disease.

Amazing....I will share this with my Rheumatologist.
Penicillin cures the spirochete known as syphilis, a neurological disease. Why have they stopped using this for Lyme, spirochete, they used to? Fever and rash are normal, it's the die off reaction, not always an "allergy"
Wait, let me guess. Treatment is not covered under insurance, is it? If the majority of people can't afford treatment, what's the point?

Seriously as the article reports, prior to 2022 everything was underreported and now folks are much more vigilant.
Ticks really like us? ๐
What are the chances they’re properly treating those bites? Probably handing out one dose of doxy and sending those poor people on their way. ๐
These articles are so frustrating to read because the main component of testing is completely false as many of us know the numbers of reported cases are so far off if you only have 2/5 not Lyme Positive yet you have the majority of symptoms and can barely walk, and had a faint rash, your not considered LD positive. Yet you can be tested 5 times with the same symptoms and finally that 5th test shows a positive test, so now you can receive treatment after Lyme has turned chronic say 5 months prior but now that the test shows 5/5 finally doctors can treat you. What happened to Igenex testing in NY that was voted on in 2019, to be allowed yet many doctors do not know of the testing or what lab to use. Then many in the Medical community say do not research and look on the internet and use alternate therapies they do not work. But funny many show great improvement with those alternative therapies not covered by insurance.
You mean they actually keep track of lyme cases? Why when 28 days of doxycycline is so great at preventing dissemination?! We have a long way to go before lyme and its co-infections are controlled...
