The rest was positive, not that I looked at it all. Honestly, over-diagnosis is perhaps better than ignoring the patient and saying 'I don't know.'

I'm not a big fan of sciencebasedmedicine. They are very biased on any given topic and if there isn't a big Phase III clinical trial on any given issue, then they disagree and jump to calling people quacks. The don't take really deep dives into many of the issues they blog about. If you read the comments on any given blog post from their website, they are usually pretty nasty.

I know, right? They make good points in some of their blog posts, but then they throw the baby out with the bath water. I had to unsubscribe from their blog. What they don't understand is that lack of proof, is not necessarily proof against something. But those blog comments will prove you with endless entertainment. :)

A great post from Dr. Jaller on the current state of clinical diagnosis and evidenced based medicine. I love it!

I'm not sure what to think, but if physicians are restricted in methods that work, I think that's moronic. Unfortunately, if it turns out to be Lyme in my case, which I don't suspect now (though as mentioned I do suspect some infection or infestation), I'll have to figure out a way to get the money. Quite sad that money h is what's at stake.
