I ask because I wonder if I should travel to the US for a consult with a lyme dr. Here in Canada Lyme is hardly ever diagnosed, it seems to be swept under the rug a lot. I know someone who was finally diagnosed with lyme here but it took 3 years and he was in a wheelchair because he was so weak and fatigued (along with other things)

I don't know what to think either. I don't think its a hoax. I think that there are a lot of researchers who believe that autoimmunity, cancer, neurological illnesses are triggered by either environmental pollutants or viral or bacterial causes. The lyme docs are fixated on the bacterial parasitic causes. The problem is that there is proof either way that each can be the cause.
For many of us it's a roll of the dice. Idiopathic sucks!
