So many people are getting misdiagnosed with autoimmune diseases and live the rest of their lives managing symptoms. I know bc I did it for 30 years until seeing the right Dr educated on tick-borne diseases. We are all in remission but it shouldn’t be this way.
Sooo many studies have proved infections are at the root cause of autoimmune diagnosis. Keep learning, this is for additional educational purposes and not meant to replace your medical care providers advice.
Here’s a good start for anyone interested in reading the studies proving these patients have spirochetal (Borrelia bergdorfori) infections misdiagnosed as dementia/Alzheimer’s:

Lots more where these came from, I just copied a few. Plug each into your browser and read, share, and ponder getting tested with specialty labs like IGeneX or Galaxy Diagnostics. Tick borne diseases are congenital, just like syphilis!
