“I have chronic Lyme disease. I’ve had it for 10 years, and there’s no cure for it. There is a general refusal to think of Lyme disease as chronic because most people get it for two weeks and that’s it. A lot of doctors don’t want to diagnose it properly—they say it’s MS or Parkinson’s or something else. There’s no research and no interest in finding a cure.”
