From the CDC page you linked, under the "FAQ" section (emphasis mine):
> What is "chronic Lyme disease"?
>>Lyme disease is caused by infection with the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. Although most cases of Lyme disease can be cured with a 2- to 4-week course of oral antibiotics, patients can sometimes have symptoms of pain, fatigue, or difficulty thinking that last for more than 6 months after they finish treatment. This condition is called ”Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome” (PTLDS). The term “chronic Lyme disease” (CLD) is also sometimes used; however, this term has been used to describe a wide variety of different conditions and therefore can be confusing. Because of the confusion in how the term CLD is employed, experts do not support its use (Feder et al.,2007 www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMra072023). For more information, see the National Institutes of Health — “Chronic Lyme Disease”.
So it is not, however much you try to claim it, acknowledged by the CDC.

And you continue to put words in my mouth and deny the serious nature of mental illness. If you read the NIH page I linked you will see that there is no evidence that prolonged treatment with antibiotics is helpful when treating PTLD or CLD and that it may actually be harmful to patients.
Again, mental illness is real illness. Being diagnosed with a mental illness is not a doctor "treating you like crap" or an implication that your issues are imaginary.

TIL Denmark and Sweden are the same country.
Seriously, do you even read the links you're posting?

Word games? I made the edit before you even posted your response. Perhaps if you had read the link you provided more thoroughly you would have noticed the link to the NIH page regarding CLD.

As you can see from my edit I did indeed click the link.

Lyme disease and "chronic lyme" are two different things. And I'm not the one making the claim that anything is "all in one's head" . You are the one putting those words in my mouth. Mental illness is real and just as serious as other illnesses.
Edit: and by the way the link you shared contains a link to the NIH page on chronic lyme
>Because of the confusion in how the term CLD is employed, and the lack of a clearly defined clinical definition, many experts in this field do not support its use.
> In patients who have non-specific symptoms after being treated for Lyme disease and who have no evidence of active infection (patients with PTLDS), studies have shown that more antibiotic therapy is not helpful and can be dangerous.

Mental illness is a serious medical condition. They are not "made up" or something "all in one's head" .
Edit: fixed a typo

It was my understanding that "chronic lyme disease" is a quack diagnosis. Do you perhaps meant post-treatment lyme disease?

Yep. He has a few other roles as well but being King of Canada is the best one since Canada is really big.

That is technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. It's still not the official title of the Canadian monarch, though.
I would be in favour of changing his title from "King of Canada" to "King of Kensington", but only if he changes his name to Larry and opens up a convenience store. ;)

Yes? What does that have to do with this? There hasn't been a "Queen of England" since 1707.

Please read what I actually said.
> mentally ill and don't deserve to be treated medically
You keep insisting that mental illness is somehow "not real" and isn't treated medically which is simply not true. Mental illness is medical illness.
