Again I must disagree with you! For me it is certainly NOT Post Lyme treatment as I have never been identified or treated for Lyme before! I have however been ill continuously for almost 8 years now (and I had always assumed it was ME/Fibro) and I have been bitten by ticks in my different countries and continents.
For me, a test which verifies its initial results by DNA confirmatory sequencing to avoid false positives seems pretty convincing to me. I was diagnosed with B. myomotoi. And this now makes greater sense in explaining the frequent pseudo-flu-like episodes I get (as well, of course, with a whole host of other complex symptoms, not least the sense of inflammation and generalised pain and severe head pains ...).
More to the point, however, I most strongly disagree with you that antibiotic treatment is the only treatment to consider post diagnosis. I certainly will not be taking any antibiotics and nor do many of my fellow sufferers with whom I am in contact in France. It is increasingly understood today that in its chronic form antibiotics will not be very helpful because the bacteria is not, at this stage, freely circulating in the blood. This is essentially the reason for its difficulty in being detected as well. Rather they create protective biofilms/cysts around themselves and they enter into tissues and cells and the CNS where they are largely protected from the influence of antibios.
On a personal level, I will be beginning treatment with essential oils and supplements from a Naturopath who has a greatly helped and healed many people with lyme. Then in January I hope to start treatment with a very specific bioresonance technique in Germany with a Heilpraktiker who has developed a system through which he has fully cured many people with chronic lyme over the years (including a woman who has now become his own secretary).
As for Teulières, yes he helped with the research, but I have a very low opinion of him as a doctor or a human being for that matter. He was extremely rude to me and essentially offensive! I believe his "notoriety" status, has gone to his head. I certainly wont be having anything more to do with him. And yes, from what I understand he does essentially plug his patients with antibiotics! As my heilpraktiker in Germany said to me, there is no point diagnosing the disease if you don't know how to treat it properly!
