I automatically deduce that 9 out of 10 psychiatric patients have a tick born disease.
I do that because the first doctor from one state who saved me told me that. The second doctor from another state told me the same exact thing. Both are family doctor LLMDs.
They were merely pointing out why the epidemic of lyme/psychiatry was so big. Most family doctors have no clue on the topic. The 9 of 10 estimates they shared with me were the results of what they had experienced over the years in their own clinics. 9 out 10 patients came from other doctors and were poorly managed and were on psychiatric meds. By the time Lyme treatment was done - 9 months to 3 years - there were no more psychiatric symptoms, or very mild remaining symptoms.
I can't think of any reason those 2 separate doctors would lie to me about any of that, or how their lies would be exactly the same. These guys are experts in both psychiatry and lyme and they actually get people well. You don't see that very often. They got me well - a 20+ year basket case who even failed ECT!!!!!
It is interesting to make a list of all the symptoms of depression or anything psychiatric. And then make a list of symptoms of mid stage or late stage Lyme disease. And then compare how the lists look almost identical.
What the LLMDs look for - when lab testing is poor - are 'clusters of symptoms'. In the book "Why Can't I Get Better" the author even categorizes every symptoms you can think of into groups or clusters. And then you take a long multiple choice test for each of those. At the end of the test, you see very clearly the clusters. Most of them are things the patient hardly ever thinks about, lives with every day, and doesn't associate with their other problems. But the symptoms are all attached and the paint a picture, if you know what to look for.
It's just the unfortunate experience I have in the field that I can recognize patterns and clusters just listening to someone tell their story. The stories are usually similar. The patient thinks their story is unique. It isn't.
