Exactly. Exactly. I had one patient with fibromyalgia who was, you know, quote, unquote, fibromyalgia, whatever that means. I mean, it just means you're hurt all over. So Lyme can actually mimic fibromyalgia. So you really gotta think about it, and it doesn't present as one neat little boxed diagnosis. You gotta really think about it.

Fatty liver is when the liver cells, the cells in your liver are replaced with fat cells. So fatty liver just means that some of the cells in your liver have been replaced with fat cells. And so there's fat deposited within your liver. Why do we care? Because then that means your liver can't work as well because it doesn't have all those liver cells doing the job that the liver does, right?
