While undoubtedly there are some people who have undiagnosed lyme, I suspect there are a lot of people who actually have CFS instead. Reading these kind of news stories it seems there are a lot of lyme "patients" who never had the bulls-eye rash, who keep going to doctors until they are given a diagnosis (or they buy a dubious test, such as igenix), then they're cured by a dubious supplement/diet treatment (which is highly unlikely to cure a bacterial infection).

It also sounds like long-term bacterial therapy isn't any use for lyme if you start it years after infection.
