I am still amazed at the comparison of reports about Lyme from the IDiots. Notice the date and that Bumsteere, Pachner and Sigal have done a complete flip-flop on the truth since then. Liar, liar pants on fire!
Zentralbl Bakteriol Mikrobiol Hyg A. 1986 Dec;263(1-2):201-5.
Clinical manifestations of Lyme disease.
Steere AC, Bartenhagen NH, Craft JE, Hutchinson GJ, Newman JH, Pachner AR, Rahn DW, Sigal LH, Taylor E, Malawista SE.
Lyme disease typically begins with a unique skin lesion, erythema chronicum migrans (ECM) (stage 1).
Patients with this lesion may also have headache, meningeal irritation, mild encephalopathy, multiple annular secondary lesions, malar or urticarial rash, generalized lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly, migratory musculoskeletal pain, hepatitis, sore throat, non-productive cough, conjunctivitis, periorbital edema, or testicular swelling.
After a few weeks to months (stage 2), about 15% of patients develop frank neurologic abnormalities, including meningitis, encephalitis, cranial neuritis (including bilateral facial palsy), motor or sensory radiculoneuritis, mononeuritis multiplex, or myelitis.
At this time, about 8% of patients develop cardiac involvement--AV block, acute myopericarditis, cardiomegaly, or pancarditis.
Throughout this stage, many patients continue to experience migratory musculoskeletal pain in joints, tendons, bursae, muscle, or bone.
Months to years after disease onset (stage 3), about 60% of patients develop frank arthritis, which may be intermittent or chronic.
Recently evidence suggests that Lyme disease may also be associated with chronic neurologic or skin involvement.
Thus, Lyme disease occurs in stages with different clinical manifestations at each stage, but the course of the illness in each patient is highly variable.

No, they were paid to change their minds. The government does not give much money to people who tell the truth about lyme. And their universities are greatly dependent on NIH grants, so there is pressure in that direction too.
Who pays the piper gets to call the tune. Medical research for hire.
But what they will say about articles such as this one is that's without treatment. With a little dab of treatment, it all goes away or becomes symptoms without an infectious cause. You would think they would get cramps from such a contorted position.
