It Might Be Lyme: Lyme is the Great Imitator
Lyme disease is nicknamed “The Great Imitator” because its symptoms can mimic hundreds of other conditions, often leading to misdiagnosis and years of unnecessary suffering. Tick-borne illnesses can look exactly like or cause:
ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease)
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Alzheimer’s disease
Autism
Fibromyalgia
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / ME (CFS/ME)
POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)
Small Fiber Neuropathy (SFN)
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
Lupus
Sjogren’s Syndrome
Mood disorders, depression & other psychiatric illnesses
PANDAS/PANS
…and countless more (
Lyme, and related infections like Bartonella and Babesia, can affect every system in the body — joints, nerves, brain, heart, and more. If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with any of the above or another "label" diagnosis, but still feel something is missing … It Might Be Lyme.
Don’t settle for “chronic” or “idiopathic.”
đź’š Seek a Lyme-literate practitioner. We collaborate with Project Lyme for their searchable provider list.
💚 Test with a more reliable laboratory such as IGeneX. Unfortunately, the two-tier testing recommended by the CDC misses approximately ½ of actual cases pursuant to numerous peer-reviewed studies (up to 78% of recently acquired cases).
đź’š Proper treatment can change everything.
