It did focus on the painful symptoms, which was good...................
I agree with you completely.

What wasn't shown in the video was the 2 primary newscasters summarizing the disease as having been caused by the tick bite but there was no mention of any other causes. Unfortunately, it left the audience thinking that this was the only cause of crps/rsd.

But it's a start.
