What are lymes?
As you probably know Dr. E. Fuller Torrey
has considered the hypothesis of viruses
being responsible for mental illness; and
the medical books are full of disorders
belonging to vitamin deficiencies (e.g.
pellagra), hormonal problems, bacterial
infections, viruses, structural abnormalities,
infections, and on and on, that are responsible
for mental illness. Infact, there are so many
that I have stopped asking why drs. do not
perform "differential diagnoses" as it might
just take a lifetime to find out.I take it that your lyme disease has actually
cured you of a mental disorder? If so, you
have won a diagnostic lottery.Squiggles
