We're not alone

Hopefully you can access the attched article from the recent Lyme Disease.org newsletter. The only relevance is the similarity in medical malpractice for RLS and Lyme disease. The author has a little fun at the medical profession's expense. And his discussion of the medical term "syndrome" does strike close to home for RLS.

Rings so many *alarm* bells. He's spot on !Gawd help anyone with both RLS & Lyme's. They don't stand a chance.

Hadn't thought about the perception of 'syndromes' before. Time to change the name of RLS to RLD and see if being called a 'disease' wakes up the DDs of the article?

Unfortunately, that's me. I'm hoping to collect one more syndrome to complete my Bingo card 😅 (The good news is my Lyme experience prepared me for RLS - self-management required; can't rely on doctors.)

It's tragic though. I see what ME/CFS and Long Covid patients are going through. All horribly familiar.
