    I was just thinking this morning that ppl may be getting misdiagnosed w/ chronic Lyme when they have LC or ME. This is concerning since off-label use of disulfiram (Antabuse) is being becoming popular for chronic Lyme. Risk/benefit may be favorable for disulfiram for glioma or Lyme carditis, but I have misgivings about its use in other contexts due to suicide risk. Also, malondialdehyde levels are already elevated in LC.
