Madison Area Lyme Support Group

“I felt quite vindicated… if I hadn’t persisted, if I hadn’t put all of my symptoms into AI I would hate to think where I would have been left by healthcare professionals.”

It started with ringing in his ears but over a number of years Oliver Moazzezi also experienced high blood pressure, extreme fatigue and muscle spasms.

Unsatisfied with various explanations from doctors – including anxiety – he decided to ask Artificial Intelligence for answers.

After asking AI he had a test with a private doctor which come back positive for Lyme disease, so it seemed AI had given him the answer – but experts warn using these tools to self-diagnose comes with risks and should be treated with caution.

“I felt like I was being a hypochondriac, I felt like no-one actually wanted to understand or look at all the things I was trying to explain to people quite eloquently.”

Oliver used to go to the gym three times a week and swim regularly before he started developing symptoms – now he can’t.

He said it all started three years ago after he was bitten by a tick that was brought in by his cat from the woods near his home in Whiteley.

In those same woods he describes how at it’s worst, his tinnitus meant he couldn’t hear the rustling of the leaves or the sound of birds.

“All I had was this massive high-pitched scream… it was horrific and it was day and night for weeks and months,” he said.  (See link for article)

And this, my friends, is the state we are in…..you have to be diagnosed by machine learning because doctors purposely have their heads in the sand.  Oh – but these same deaf, blind, and dumb doctors warn that those concerned with their health speak to a trained clinician…..the very clinicians that miss the diagnosis in the first place!
