That’s a question I’ve heard more often in recent years—from patients, parents, and even colleagues. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is already a complex condition with far-reaching effects. But when patients with EDS report a sudden downturn—new neurological symptoms, worsening fatigue, or cognitive decline—it’s worth asking whether something more is going on. And in some cases, that […]

Lyme disease fatigue is one of the most common—and most frustrating—symptoms of the illness. It’s not just “feeling tired.” Many of my patients describe it as bone-deep exhaustion. Some say it feels like moving through wet cement. Others say they wake up feeling just as drained as when they went to bed. For some, the

Do I have Lyme disease? It’s a question many people ask after experiencing fatigue, pain, or brain fog without a clear explanation. You may not remember a tick bite—or even see a rash. Testing may come back negative. Yet Lyme disease can still be the cause. That’s why early signs, clinical clues, and your exposure

I’ve spent much of my career studying cognitive decline. Before I specialized in Lyme disease, I taught medical students about dementia. I ran programs evaluating memory loss in older adults. So when I say that Lyme disease and dementia can be confused, I don’t say it lightly. One of my patients was referred to me

Too many patients with persistent Lyme disease are told, “You’re fine,” when they clearly aren’t. Their fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and autonomic issues are dismissed or misattributed—and the longer that goes on, the more trust in the system erodes. But what if we approached persistent Lyme the way we approach other chronic illnesses? With

Pleasure Beach in Bridgeport, Connecticut, is closed for the entire summer of 2025—not for a storm, but for ticks. Multiple species were discovered, including the Asian longhorned tick, an emerging invasive threat. Officials are applying treatments, but the closure highlights a bigger issue: ticks at the beach are now part of the Lyme disease conversation.

She was in her late 60s. No autoimmune history. No recent travel. But she was getting weaker. Her joints ached. Her memory was slipping. Her balance felt off. She woke up exhausted, sometimes with her heart racing. She was told it was aging. Then anxiety. Then nothing more could be done. But when we looked

It’s one of the most emotional stories parents share. They tell me their child was once full of energy and curiosity—but suddenly began struggling. Fatigue, brain fog, dizzy spells, and even seizure-like episodes. Brain scans? Normal. EEGs? Clear. Yet the worry remained. “We were told they were functional seizures—just stress-related. No one believed our child

As a Lyme disease specialist, I’ve treated many patients who continue to suffer from persistent Lyme symptoms—even after completing a full course of antibiotics. They’re often told their fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, or headaches are simply “post-treatment Lyme disease” or stress-related. But that explanation doesn’t reflect what I see in my practice—or what my
