Those suffering from tick born diseases are often underdiagnosed, misdiagnosed, and denied treatments. The existence of chronic Lyme disease is often denied by mainstream medicine, insurance companies, and medical boards. Testing can be highly inaccurate, and many are left with untreated Lyme disease when doctors do not consider clinical history and symptoms and use only test results, limited testing, or refuse to test at all. Doctors who treat chronic Lyme disease are called Lyme Literate Medical Doctors (LLMDs). LLMDs refer to the guidelines proposed by The International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) rather than the restrictive guidelines defined by the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA).
