What exactly is Lyme Disease?

My mother had #LymeDisease years ago,  She had the classic bulls-eye on her skin, went to the doctor, got antibiotics of some sort, and that was that.  But lately I'm seeing television people stating they have Lyme Disease and how debilitating it is and how they can't get out of bed or do anything at all.

We can't allow dippy Real Housewives, or other people just trying to sell books, to represent Lyme Disease.  I'd like to see some legitimate news sources do a thorough report on Lyme Disease.  I want to hear a medical doctor very specifically discussing the diagnosing process. I know the television ladies don't want to get out of bed or put on makeup, but that sounds like depression to me.  Give everybody real medical facts!

I beg +TODAY , +ABC News , +CBS This Morning  to do a comprehensive segment on Lyme Disease.  I fear Lyme Disease will turn into the ubiquitous ADHD and OCD, where it seems like everybody has it (self diagnosed, of course.)  If this is a serious, legitimate disease, I don't want to surf the Internet for my information. Television news shows, forget about Donald Trump for a day, and educate us.
