What are these terms you're using? Chronic Lyme Cult? Lyme Truthers? In the 6 years since I was finally diagnosed (while living on the East Coast because  it certainly isn't going to happen here) I have never once heard either of these derogatory labels.  "We must be empathetic to Lyme truthers  but not feed their delusions'? Shame on you. Unless you are a patient living with this disease you have no right to so casually discredit us.  The most  dangerous nonsense is spread by uneducated physicians.
