Why Are Doctors So Quick To Diagnose Autoimmune Disease? Without Considering Lyme Disease.

‘Why are doctors so quick to diagnose autoimmune disease?
It’s always been striking to me how most chronic diseases are of unknown etiology, yet how many have been linked in medical literature to Lyme and Bartonella.
When people get a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia, MS, Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or other rheumatologic/inflammatory diagnosis du jour, they are not getting an actual diagnosis. They’re getting a description of conditions that brings them no closer to an answer. And I don’t think that the majority of doctors are evaluating these patients for the possibility of insect-borne infections like Lyme and Bartonella as closely as they should be.
To have a negative Lyme ELISA test- which is known to be horribly unreliable-and then sentence a patient to a lifetime of immunosuppressive drugs, in my opinion, is abjectly wrong.’
