Avril Lavigne diagnosed with Lyme disease: ‘I thought I was dying’

Commentary: The NY Post ran a follow-up story today on Avril Lavigne and her bout with Lyme disease. I am quoted towards the end of the article. I had discussed in the interview many of the 16 points on the MSIDS map that can cause chronic illness, highlighting those which could be responsible for ongoing fatigue and lightheadedness like POTS/dysautonomia and hypoglycemia with blood sugar swings, which I commonly see in my patients, but these were not included in the article due to lack of space. P.ease see pages 68-70 and pages 76-77 of “Why Can’t I Get Better?” to see a more complete differential diagnostic list of overlapping conditions responsible for these symptoms.
