If your blood test comes back negative, that doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t have Lyme disease. If you suspect you may have #Lyme and your test comes back negative, there are several important questions you should ask your doctor.

As a otherwise healthy 17 year old, I needed a pacemaker. 6 years later I was diagnosed with Lyme... a lot of irreversible complications could have been prevented if I had been diagnosed and properly treated at the time when I showed clear signs of Lyme carditis

RT @Lymenews:
Cardiologist Dr. Adrian Baranchuk, says it is incredibly important for doctors to recognize the symptoms of Lyme carditis early and begin treatment – even before they have a definite diagnosis. https://t.co/kSQh7aVXMG

@oliviah0808 So sorry to hear. Same thing happened when I got sick. The social isolation was almost the hardest to deal with. Can't say it gets better but you learn who your real friends are. Keep them close❤️ And theres many of us in the same boat rooting and cheering you on!

New survey on barriers governments face when trying to regulate junk food marketing - no surprise industry interference is a major one! https://t.co/yPJBobSJBu

Ever wonder why Lyme is so hard to diagnose? Comment if you ever got misdiagnosed with another disease but actually had Lyme!!

@AJackso63831215 Many countries in Europe rely on the CDC guidance for their own recommendations (including Sweden where I live) making this even more problematic...

[Andrea Lyme @AJackso63831215]

Why is this CDC statement - telling doctors that the CDC #LymeDisease test is NOT to be used to negate a #Lyme diagnosis - hidden away on the CDC website instead of made VERY visible?
Why are doctors, disability attorneys & judges, & the public not made aware of this?

Three little words that chronic illness patients want to hear from their doctor: I believe you.

Five words they need to hear: Here's how I can help.

[Dana Parish @danaparish]

“In the fullness of time, the mainstream handling of Chronic Lyme will be viewed as one of the most shameful episodes in the history of medicine bc elements of academic medicine, elements of government, and virtually the entire insurance industry have colluded to deny a disease.”

[Steven Phillips, MD @StevePhillipsMD]

Every patient should be believed, first and foremost. It shouldn't be hard.
