**Comment**
A simple perusal of these symptoms reveals how insidious this complex disease is. This is not what authorities have been telling us Lyme causes. Lyme/MSIDS is a systemic illness that can affect every single organ of the human body – and often collectively. The idea that 21 days of an antibiotic are going to take care of this is pure comedy if you study it for any length of time at all. It is not uncommon for patients to see numerous specialists for the wide array of issues they must contend with.
Time for mainstream medicine to awaken from its coma.
