Have you watched the 'Diagnosis' series on Netflix?
My blood is boiling after watching it!!!
On episode 2, Sadie, a 7 year old girl who had been having seizures, got a positive lyme test from Armin labs. So they started treating her. She 'got worse' so they decided it must not be lyme and gave up treatment.
In episode 7, Ann from Connecticut had flares of Bell's palsy, memory loss, stroke-like symptoms (though they determined she did not have a stroke). They decided to send her to an infectious disease specialist at the Yale Center for testing (pretty sure it's Alan Steere's). Her test was negative. So, she doesn't have lyme either.
I really wish I could reach out to these families!!!!!

Like they say, "Western medicine feel good now worse later; Eastern medicine feel worse now better later". Something like that. Giving up treatment because she felt worse is pretty dumb. How about
doing some testing or something to confirm rather than treating symptoms alone.

No I didn't I was responding to the original post, saying they gave up after she said she felt worse
