I'm not even close to an expert on chronic lyme; however, as with most things about which there is a lot of debate in medicine:

- the symptoms are vague and/or nonspecific

- any tests or diagnostic criteria for chronic lime have poor specificity (i.e. a high number of false positives)

- no reasonable pathophysiologic mechanism has been demonstrated / explained, or at the very least the pathophysiology is poorly understood
