Eikeland and colleagues in southern Norway There were also two decent studies that did provide some evidence for PTLDS. The first one was...
I’ve decided to take a closer look at the evidence for chronic Lyme disease. I’ve chosen to skip issues relating to the persistence of the...
Yeah I might have been a bit harsh, although many of the 93,989 households that never answered their phones and did not return multiple...

Congratulations @Dx Revision Watch , job well done
The paper is a bit difficult to comprehend (might have to read it again), but I also got the impression that the study showed mostly null results....
