I was interviewed this past weekend at the Strasbourg Lyme conference by France 3, one of the national TV stations in France. For those who do not speak french, the crux of the interview was that tick-borne testing is not reliable, and that better up to date scientific information needs to be made available to physicians to help them diagnose tick-borne disorders. One patient who is in a wheelchair due to chronic Lyme disease is interviewed regarding her experience with the diagnosis and treatment. She suffers with chronic pain and has difficulty walking and going to school. She unfortunately has had the same experience that many patients do in the US. She went undiagnosed for a long period of time and now is struggling to get her life back.
