I left a reply on the OP (before seeing this), which links to NIH, CDC and a review of the subject: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20511244

It's not that the symptoms don't exist. It's that the symptoms are almost certainly auto-immune or neurological in nature. There is nothing "chronic infection" about the situation, and thus any attempt to treat it with extended anti-biotics, probiotics, diet restriction, etc are almost certainly destined to fail.

Patients need to spend more time listening to rheumatologists and less time listening to "Lyme Literate" providers selling uninsured woo at $2000 a pop.
