I've seen several posters use it but I have no idea what it stands for.

Yeah, I just realized that when I was typing a reply to another post....

Can anyone say "mental fog?"

Also: Traumatic Brain Injury. But if you saw it here, chances are... Tick-related.

Yup Pip- traditionally

TBI is Traumatic Brain Injury

so that is why I prefer the term TBD for tick born disease!!!

With all the new shrapnel Vets from Iraq the term TBI for the above will be even MORE in use. So TBD is better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TBI on Lymenet can be tick borne illness, but it is Traumatic brain injury.

Feels to me like a Tick Borne Illness is a Traumatic Brain Injury!
