from American Journal of Social Science "Lyme Disease, Trauma, and Disenfranchised Grief: A Brief Guide for Clinicians" Heidi S. Kulkin, PhD, LCSW-BACS1 1 Southeastern Louisiana University,
"Abstract : Lyme disease has become a contentious issue within both medical and public spheres.
While initially recognized for its characteristic rash and flu-like symptoms, Lyme disease has evolved into a complex and controversial diagnosis, intertwining medical uncertainty with profound personal and societal implications.
This conceptual paper explores Lyme disease as a contested illness, the trauma it can cause,
and the ephenomenon of disenfranchised grief experiences by those affected."

It was great to read about grief associated with lyme. Think this was the first time I read about it.
