== Lyme Disease vs Chronic Fatigue Syndrome == *2009, "The [[Department of Health and Social Care (UK)]] remains concerned about the growing number of patients, particularly those suffering from chronic conditions such as myalgic encephalopathy ([[myalgic encephalomyelitis|ME]]) or chronic fatigue syndrome, who receive a false diagnosis of Lyme disease from private laboratories offering unvalidated tests that lack the sensitivity and specificity to detect B. burgdorferi. A report of the Department’s investigation into the use of such tests in the diagnosis of Lyme disease is available at [http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20130107105354/http://dh.gov.uk/prod_consum_dh/groups/dh_digitalassets/@dh/@en/documents/digitalasset/dh_4138917.pdf ''Report on Lyme Disease'': Unorthodox and Unvalidated Laboratory Tests in the Diagnosis of Lyme Borreliosis and in Relation to Medically Unexplained Symptoms]. Misinformation about Lyme disease is readily available to patients via the internet and can lead them to seek inappropriate diagnosis and treatment." <ref name=":0" /> *2011, Lyme Disease and [[Chronic Fatigue Syndrome]] are different diseases. Research is published on cerebrospinal fluid, and distinct differences were found.<ref name="Schutzer2011" /> *2016, [https://www.simmaronresearch.com/blog/2016/08/post-lyme-disease-and-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-mecfs-are-they-the-same Post Lyme Disease and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) – Are They The Same?]<ref>{{Cite news |url =https://www.simmaronresearch.com/blog/2016/08/post-lyme-disease-and-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-mecfs-are-they-the-same | title = Post Lyme Disease and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) - Are They The Same? - Simmaron Research | last = Johnson | first = Cort | date = 2016-08-06|work=Simmaron Research|access-date=2023-02-20| archive-url = | archive-date = |url-status = | language=en-US}}</ref> *There are [[many historical outbreaks]] of [[Myalgic Encephalomyelitis]] and [[Chronic Fatigue Syndrome]] that do not correlate with a tick-borne pathogen.
