Struggling to be taken seriously with chronic Lyme

Hi Torti! I totally get what you're saying. I tried to explain the brain fog from the lyme to three different doctors before I found out it was Lyme and they kept telling me to go to a psychiatrist. I don't talk about it anymore with my other doctors, and I actually switched to new ones after all that. For Lyme, my cousin who has had it for years sent me to the doctor she goes to. I hope things get better for you.

Hi Torti! Honestly I rarely Bring it up at regular doctors appointments. However I do live in PA where it’s super common so any kind of reaction is rare. I choose specialists that I chose myself not waiting to be referred by some idiot doctor to another idiot doctor. If you don’t like a doctor don’t go there. If they don’t take you seriously the first time they won’t the second tjne
