"So, why is it so difficult for us to get antibiotics when we present with symptoms? it's nuts."
Because insurance companies do not want to pay.
Because drs that make up the standards of testings are most likely in bed with the insurance companies.
Because just as if we were dogs, as long as we pay out of pocket our vets (our LLMDs) we get treated.
Because it is incurable unless treated early--and even here for me, is a big question mark (my son was treated after he got the bulls eye rash and 2 years later he was almost completely bed bound and started to have severe grand mal seizures)
Because it costs too much to treat and it may never go away or it may come back--it came back 2 times in my case--once was treated for a month, second for a year, now I just do some herbs because I no longer want to deal with antibiotics
So, I don't thing it's nuts. These questions hunted me for 10 yrs, but I think it makes sense. It is a corrupt system that cares more about
money than people. If the word was out, that chronic lyme exists, that is persistent, they would have to pay, but they do not want to pay, so they just lie and say it doesn't exist.
As long as you pay out of pocket, like you would with a vet, you can get treated by a human vet. We are no better than dogs.
