Lyme incurable in some patients?

Chronic Lyme(we call it Borreliosis) patient runs out of medical options.

All those patients telling tales of not being cured of Borreliosis just might be ahead of the medical community.

There are lots of things that run counter to my understanding of Borreliosis in the article.

The EM rash rate is listed as 30%. I still believe that roughly 70% of infected persons get the EM rash.

Then there is this:

For Childs, her situation was different. She was bitten by a tick in Aptos at age 5 and diagnosed eight years later. Since then, she suffers from daily migraines, nausea, fatigue, body aches, joint pain and muscle aches.
Childs went through five years of treatment. She did three years of oral antibiotics and 18 months of intravenous antibiotics. After none of the treatments worked, she was told that her case of Lyme disease has no cure.

"Because I've done every treatment possible I'm planning on being sick for the rest of my life," Childs said.

The current thinking is that the lasting effects of Borreliosis likely stem from an autoimmune response. BUT, as we have seen time and again, the current thinking turns out to be grossly in error. The Borreliosis goalposts are in nearly constant flux. The medical care system in the US is all about cost containment. Borreliosis is looking like the lo-boil plague of the early 21st century. The approach to sufferers and research has been a long series of foot-dragging exercises. It is almost a world wide phenomenon. Africa has ricksettia, and Borreliosis has found a home on that continent as well. So, that leaves Australia in denial about Borreliosis on that continent..it is only s matter of time before the Aussies get in the game.

I think that Antarctica is likely to remain free of Borreliosis. Perhaps I can catch a ride on a Norwegian ship headed that way.

ON EDIT: I just started rereading Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage. It is as good as I recall. I read it with a proper British accent ;) Highly recommended.
