Listen " Lyme Patient Gaslighting: Why Many Turn to Alternative Medicine"
Episode Synopsis
Have you experienced gaslighting in your Lyme journey? Drop your story below—your voice can help others feel less alone...SummaryMany Lyme disease patients experience medical gaslighting—dismissive comments like “your labs are normal” or “the treatment is finished”—even while symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, pain, and neuropathy persist. This erodes trust, adds psychological harm, and often drives patients toward alternative medicine, not out of rejection of science but in search of time, holistic care, ongoing support, and validation.The solution isn’t to push patients away, but to listen, explain uncertainties, stay connected, and collaborate when integrative care is sought. At its core, Lyme patient gaslighting is both a medical and ethical failure. Patients deserve to be believed and supported.
