  Thank you, Fred.  Thank you, Dr. Bransfield.  You have represented the nightmare that can be psychiatric Lyme & its Co-Infections.  I have been struggling with the psych symptoms discussed for over 7 years.  I LOVED life and was a happy, healthy, successful, confident, helpful person pre-2017.  I was blessed with support, financial resources, etc. when my journey began... I was also blessed to have seen Dr. Bransfield as my personal provider over the years.  I only wish I had believed and listened years ago.  But as he said, my ego is no match for this bacteria.

  To have one person in your life that actually  wants to understand or give the person dealing with this life of lyme & co the eensiest measure of compassion would be a blessing beyond measure. It was really good to see you Drs sharing this information without all the "turf" issues and all the other things you've mentioned that get in the way of people's recovery. It becomes hopelessly frustrating and then....someone shines a ray of light - extending hope. My sincere gratitude to you Sirs. 💞

  Between 1981 and 1983 I got a bullseye on my right upper arm after coming in from mowing a neighborhood lawn, living in Rochester Minnesota. I showed it to a brother and he said oh it’s probably a tick bite, it’s nothing. I lived with many mysterious symptoms that finally finally were diagnosed as chronic Lyme disease in 2013. Early 80’s some people in the medical field in Minnesota were beginning to hear about Lyme. The first Lyme disease diagnosis in Minnesota was in 1980 by the late Dr Chris Foley. The 4th Minnesota case was diagnosed in 1985.

  Great episode!<br>I hope this helps people understand Lyme disease better, and the dangers it brings to Lyme patients and the world they have to maneuver (particularly mainstream, medical community, and insurance companies), but also is this affects family and friends as they don’t understand what’s going on with you.<br><br>LYME DISEASE is an INVISIBLE ILLNESSES, as people can not see the pain, brain issues, fatigue that is happening on the inside of the Lyme patient.

  An honest open minded doctor. I appreciate that. It would be hard to get a honest second opinion now that we have EPIC EMR . Doctors just flip on the computer and see what the last doctor had to say and all the ones before that. They can write private notes and make fictitious diagnoses in the problem list and the patient won&apos;t be allowed to see it because they can&apos;t access that part of their MyChart. However ,the doctors can see it and they stick up for each other and don&apos;t want to contradict their fellow doctors . So much ego and arrogance in medicine.

  I&apos;ve survived Lyme, but I still have Lyme. I haven&apos;t had real treatment since 2009. I&apos;m so sick. My feet burn, sleep problems for sure, postural tremors, and so much more. I take IVIG which is why I survive. They put prednisone in my IV and my sleep which had been improving has gone to pot. My treatment for over 5 years was IV ABX. It was like magic, from night to day so to speak. My doctor was Dr. William Trevor Harvey. He died young. He

  I had to stop this mid stream. My PTSD started to trigger and then frontal lobe pain started and I didn’t even realize I was in tears.
