I can’t help but be alarmed by the fact that his health has been on the decline for the last five years due to contracting Lyme disease.

I know of one person who was fine after like a month (detected early) and someone who spent the better part of a year recovering, but nothing like this!

Hope the blog writer gets better soon.

He remarks here (https://humanwhocodes.com/blog/2014/04/02/i-have-lyme-diseas...) that his health has been poor for the last (now) 19 years. Having contracted Lyme roughly 9 years ago myself, I can empathize with him. The effects never truly go away.

And still, many doctors even in Connecticut where it was first detected won't provide the antibiotics for it until you have a positive test, and the tests are unreliable. This is a real tragedy.
