Hi folks,

I was thinking about adding an encyclopedia with all Lyme related terms to my website. I would like to ask if you can think of terms that I've not already written down. If you could come up with terms that would be awesome. It will take me a couple of weeks to develop the encyclopedia as a part of my website but I think it could be very helpful of patients newly diagnosed to help them understand certain things.

These terms I already have written down:

a:

ALDF
arthritis
av-block
acrodermatitis chronicum atrophicans
amoxicillin, borrelia
azithromycin, babesia, bartonella, borrelia, chlamydia
atovaquone, babesia

b:

biofilm
bell's palsy

c:

clindamycine: babesia
ciprofloxacine: rickettsia, ehrlichia, anaplasma, mycoplasma
co-infection
clarithromycin: babesia, borrelia, bartonella, chlamydia, mycoplasma
ceftriaxone: borrelia
cefuroxime axetil: borrelia
carditis

d:

doxycycline: borrelia, bartonella, chlamydia, rickettsia, anaplasma, ehrlichia, mycoplasma
dapsone: borrelia possibly

e:

Elisa
encephalopathy
erythema migrans

f:

fish

g:

h:

host (vector,reservoir,host)
herxheimer

i:

IVIG
IDSA
ILADS

j:

k:

l:

levofloxacine: rickettsia, ehrlichia, anaplasma, mycoplasma
lymphoma
LLMD
Lymerix

m:

MRI scan
moxifloxacine
minocycline: borrelia, bartonella, chlamydia, rickettsia, anaplasma, ehrlichia, mycoplasma
metronidazol

n:

neuropathy

o:

p:

pans/pandas
pcr
picc line
persisters
plaquenil: babesia, borrelia lyme arthritis

q:

qt-interval

r:

reservoir (vector,reservoir,host)
radiculitis
rifampin: bartonella, chlamydia, rickettsia, anaplasma, ehrlichia

s:

SPECT scan
spirochete

t:

tetracycline: borrelia, bartonella, chlamydia, rickettsia, anaplasma, ehrlichia, mycoplasma
tinidazol

u:

v:

vector (vector,reservoir,host)

w:

Western Blot

x:

y:

z:

Hope you could help me come up with other terms.

Greetings

Hey LymeBasics-

That’s helpful....thanks for taking it on. I can’t add much yet, as I’m new to Lyme but I have been reading Dr. Horowitz’s books and know that he has a Lyme enclopedia section that might offer some ideas and vice versa.

Good luck

I did not see the infections listed under their first letters.

On the website I have explicit explanations of the following infections: borrelia, bartonella, babesia and mycoplasma. I will write articles about RMSF, ehrlichia/anaplasma, tularemia and chlamydia in the future.

Both bartonella and mycoplasma are not considered tickborne infections by the CDC which is also valid for chlamydia. Despite that, these infections are generally diagnosed by ILADS doctors and thus worthwile mentioning on the website. But not in short in the encyclopedia but in longer articles.

My website is explicitly about the infections and the IDSA/ILADS recommended antibiotic protocols. By writing about alternative health remedies I feel could unintended be sponsoring some commercial parties who benefit financially from those remedies.

I also don't want to write about those because one of my goals is that my personal family physician feels the information can help him too. I heard from patients that some doctors read the website who only get their information from CDC and find it helpful to read also a little bit more outside of the very narrow scope of how CDC looks at Lyme disease. The patients feel that their physician now understands them better and is more open minded about their disease after reading the website.

So the acronyms for alternative health remedies and diagnoses are not really needed on my website.

Oh, I see. I have no suggestions then. Conventional medicine did nothing to help me get well, reduce symptoms, get real answers, or understand these infections. I'm in GA. Doctors here think it doesn't exist in GA. The ones who do believe don't know how to help patients or are afraid to help patients.

The sticky thread at the top of the page has a list of abbreviations - it's been awhile since I read it.

Going to look for ideas.

Here is what I've written so far. It is of course a big project to write about all those topics. Let me know about what you think of it.
