I had Lyme disease a few years ago and when I went to see my pcp at umass after having terrible migraines and starting to lose feeling in my face they told me “oh it’s just stress from you being a college student”, then when I had to go to the ER there the attending doctor told me “we don’t know what it is, go see a neurologist”, which would have been a 9 month wait at umass, instead I went to tufts in Boston the next week and immediately they said “oh it’s Lyme disease but let’s do blood work to be sure” and of course, they were right. Being so blatantly dismissed by your primary care is why I’ll never go to umass again
Ziggy bombs food truck is normally parked near grove street fire station, fantastic cheesesteaks and they will be opening a restaurant downtown soon too
