It's for people who are struggling without a diagnosis it can explain a lot and it allows people enter a community where they can get support and they can get treatment with antibiotics which don't work but gives them the sense that they are being treated. Lyme disease is a very good example of how Medicine is an art.

You know, it's not a matter of someone comes to see you and you think they have a bacterial infection. So you do a blood test and they either have it or they don't. Tests are so much more sophisticated and hard to interpret than that. You know, every single blood test we do, every single brain scan we do. It comes with 100 caveats.

If you live in a Lyme disease area, there was a study in the UK in a place called the New Forest where there's loads of Lyme disease and foresters who work there, something like 25% of them will test positive for Lyme disease if you test them. It doesn't mean they have Lyme disease, it just means they've been in this area for a long time. You have these kind of variables.

And this is a problem in Lyme disease. If I wanted to make a lot of money, I could diagnose a lot of people with Lyme disease by doing that blood test and telling them you've got an abnormal blood test and therefore you have Lyme disease.

Well, it's not they have Lyme disease. They've been exposed to the bacteria. They've had an immune reaction and antibodies and they never got sick and therefore they fought it off. Perhaps they had a really mild case they didn't notice.

People are kind of aware that perhaps mental health problems and things may be a little overdiagnosed now, but they don't think quite so much about how the parameters of physical diseases have changed and led to overdiagnosis. It's fine that we do what we do as long as people are able to go to their doctor and ask the right questions and understand the issues.

How it came about is so interesting, really, because as a hashtag, it appeared on Twitter. An Italian woman tweeted hashtag long COVID on the 20th of May 2020, raising awareness about chronic symptoms after COVID infection for the mildly affected.
