Yes, I read that and interpreted it as another article that produced a disease that was NOT LYME. Maybe to counteract the recent TV shows that have diagnosed lyme? It also reminded me of the book about lyme that had a bunch of case histories, most of which were not lyme. Pretty odd to include a majority of cases that were something else in a book about lyme.

Lou, Are you saying you thought this article was anti-Lyme? I posted it because it is a rare illness with similar symptoms that people and doctors might not know about. Especially since the article suggests it has a treatment.
I would hope anybody who has the illness gets tested and treated for it. Just as I hope those with Lyme get treated for Lyme.

I'm saying a fair number of people with lyme have been said to have other rare diseases. When it was really lyme. Not saying this is true of the case in this article, but suspicious that they are dredging up cases that are NOT LYME as part of the NY Times policy on the disease. It is astonishing that a newspaper of that stature would have such a poor record on a disease that is widespread in the state.
