Not All Brain Fog Is Post-Viral In the wake of the pandemic, I’ve seen an increasing number of patients diagnosed with Long COVID. My patient was told her fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, and poor sleep were just viral aftereffects. Some reassured her it would fade. Others told her it was untreatable. But she wasn’t getting […]

Tick Bite Treatment Options: What to Know and When to Treat If you’ve been bitten by a tick, one of the first questions that comes up is: What should I do now? There are different tick bite treatment options, and in my practice, I walk patients through two main approaches: watchful waiting or 3–4 weeks

This article reflects broader ethical issues in medical diagnosis when certainty is lacking—especially in early tick-borne illness. Tick Bite Ethical Concerns Start with False Reassurance A woman walked into my clinic six weeks after a tick bite. She’d been given a single dose of doxycycline at urgent care and told, “That’s all you need.” But

Updated January 2026 Many patients with Lyme disease describe the same frustration: “Every test looks normal, but my body doesn’t function normally.” In many cases, these persistent symptoms reflect dysautonomia, a form of autonomic nervous system dysfunction that affects heart rate, digestion, sleep, and temperature regulation. Autonomic dysfunction is one of the most disabling Lyme

As a Lyme disease expert, I often hear the same concern: “Is traveling with Lyme disease even possible?” The answer depends on the person—but with the right mindset and preparation, many patients can travel while honoring their body’s limits. Whether you’re dealing with fatigue, POTS, food restrictions, or flares, this guide offers compassionate, realistic advice

This post has no ethics hub link yet. Let me add it plus cornerstone links and a proper Related Articles section. What if you did everything right after a tick bite—and still ended up sick? That’s what happened to a 37-year-old woman who followed medical advice after a hike in New York’s Hudson Valley. She

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
