To get everything together when I post here, I do some editing. Sorry if that is confusing. I love this article because it covers so much about all kinds of mental health symptoms of many physical diseases.
It doesn't tell you that in spite of retaining some Lyme disease symptoms (as most of us do) Amy Tan is doing great. Her recent book on backyard birds which is illustrated with Amy's beautiful; drawings has been a block-buster!
"Amy Tan’s Lyme disease: The body speaks through the mind"
Author Shirley M. Mueller, M.D., is a neuroscientist board certified in neurology and psychiatry. ... This article originally appeared in Psychology Today.

Thanks for posting Ann. I love Amy Tan, got her book from the library.
Many people don’t realize that with Lyme Disease, you will get many ‘differential diagnoses’. This article detailed this nicely.

I'm so glad you posted this AnnO and that Amy Tan is doing well.
It's thanks to her and one of her books in which she mentioned Lyme disease and her symptoms that led to my diagnosis of Lyme and Co.
My sister had one of her books and told me she thought I had Lyme disease because my symptoms were so similar.
My sister's persistence paid off and I was finally diagnosed correctly by an LLMD.
