Welcome to another episode of the Healing Lyme Summit. I&#8217;m your host, Dr. Myriah Hinchey. Today we&#8217;re going to talk about the symptoms of Lyme disease. This is easily one of the top five most important talks of this summit because Lyme is a clinical diagnosis. A clinical diagnosis is compiled of findings from a physical exam, along with symptoms that are reported by the patient or their complaints, and any other laboratory findings. Lyme disease infects every cell of the body, and therefore it can affect every cell, organ, and organ system in the body. This leads to a multi-systemic presentation of symptoms. It can be very confusing. One of the hallmarks is that these symptoms are often multi-systemic and migratory. They&#8217;re going to differ from patient to patient. These are infections that like to prey on the weaknesses of the body. Whether it&#8217;s a previous injury or genetic, you&#8217;re going to have the infection go there like a magnet. To complicate matters, we have co-infections that cause their symptoms and live synergistically with Lyme disease. The more infections you have, the worse your symptoms can be. A lot of these co-infections have their hallmark or telltale symptoms that can help us tease them apart and figure out what&#8217;s causing what. It&#8217;s very important to know what co-infections are there because a lot of them are not treated with the same medications or antibiotics that you need to treat Lyme disease. A lot of times, if you can&#8217;t treat them all together, there can be a priority or an order in which you would want to approach treatment. Here to help us navigate through all of this information is osteopathic physician Jody Greenfield. Dr. Greenfield is board-certified in internal medicine, and he is a fellow of the American College of Physicians. He&#8217;s been in practice for over 30 years now, and he focuses on the personalized care of patients with complex illnesses. Welcome, Dr. Greenfield. Tell our listeners a little bit more about yourself and how you came to specialize in treating complex illnesses.
