Just because there are peer-reviewed scholarly articles making an argument does not make that argument correct.

I hope anyone who suspects they or someone they love has chronic lyme will dig deeper than just reading scholarly review articles. A professional scholar tends to write only about things that they anticipate will advance their career.

In particular, I hope anyone who suspects chronic lyme will meditate on some of the comments on HN written by people who claim to have recovered from chronic lyme or what they suspect was chronic lyme. If you search the web for information on chronic lyme you will encounter a lot of material by people who make a living trying to persuade various segments of the public in one direction or another. (Some of the professional persuaders have MD after their name.) On HN comments in contrast I am satisfied that almost all the substantive comments about chronic lyme are currently not written by professional persuaders.
