Apparently, everything is Lyme

I've been avoiding thinking about medical stuff as much as possible since my recent visit to the hospital. Thinking about health makes my symptoms worse. But then again, so does not understanding something. So, I thought I would look up the latest chapter in my saga.

I have a tentative diagnosis of Crohn's. Well, it's an "in my opinion you have ..." diagnosis from the gastroenterologist (edit: because I trusted my spell checker and it thought I was talking about something else entirely) who apparently knows a thing or two about it. There's one more test to confirm the diagnosis but there is a wait list of over a year for non-emergency use.

From what little I understand, Crohn's has something to with chronic inflammation. Just like what Lyme does to me. Crohn's also causes weight loss, poor digestion and pain. Lyme is also causing this. So which is it? Is the Lyme in my gut making the inflammatory party or is it simply Crohn's? Or is it both? I'm confused.

It depends on who I ask as to the answer.

There was a psychologist that said something like that: we decide what answer we want to a question by picking who we are going to ask the question of. Was that Adler?

There is this tiny Lyme and Crohn's article on CanLyme.

I wonder if Inflammatory Bowel Disease like Crohn's can cause or contribute to other symptoms like Chronic Fatigue or my food sensitivities?

I wonder what holistic treatments there are for this.
