lyme definitions

llmd = Lyme-literate medical doctor.

abx = antibiotics

herx = aka Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction or "die-off reaction" - or, sheer MISERY. When spirochetes are killed off, they release endotoxins. The body is flooded & overwhelmed by these toxins & the dead bacteria, causing inflammation and a great increase in symptom severity.

Borrelia burgdorferi = the bacteria that causes Lyme Disease.

spirochete = the phylum of bacteria that B. burgdorferi (Lyme) belongs to. Spencer & I think it's a cool sounding word, so we often use it. ie: ugh, these dang spirochetes! I wish they would all DIE!.

Bartonella = a Lyme co-infection

Babesia = a malaria-like illness that is also a Lyme co-infection.
