"There are over a billion copper lines worldwide that will disappear in the next five to ten years," says Jake Jacoby, CEO of TELCLOUD. "That's why we built our platform from day one to be global—so our partners can meet this challenge anywhere their customers do business." In the latest episode of the TELCLOUD POTS and Shots Podcast Series, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, sits down with Jacoby to discuss the international scale of the POTS replacement opportunity. While the U.S. still faces the conversion of more than 25 million commercial lines, the global market represents an even larger transformation—with more than a billion lines of legacy copper that must be replaced over the coming decade. Jacoby explains that TELCLOUD's success in the U.S. has driven demand abroad, with active deployments now in Canada, Mexico, Germany, the UK, and additional markets in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and South America. By engineering devices and a platform ready for worldwide deployment, TELCLOUD enables resellers and carriers to address regional regulations, dial plans, and connectivity challenges while still relying on a single global backend. For channel partners, this means two things: Cross-border opportunity – Many customers already operate in both the U.S. and Canada or Mexico, making international coverage a natural next step. Global scalability – TELCLOUD's cloud-native design and partnerships with providers like AWS GovCloud ensure compliance and reliability, even in highly regulated environments. Jacoby also highlighted the broader industry shift away from aging copper toward fiber, wireless, and satellite connectivity, noting that TELCLOUD's mission is to bridge the gap—supporting legacy equipment with modern, resilient infrastructure that delivers long-term reliability. This episode marks the 20th edition of the POTS and Shots series, and Jacoby reflected on the journey so far: “What started as a creative way to talk about technology has become an educational platform that's helping resellers rethink their role in the copper sunset. We're excited for the next 20.” And true to the Shots tradition, Jacoby shared a special tasting from his travels: the Arete Gran Clase Extra Añejo, a four-year-aged tequila brought to Shanghai as a gift for international partners—underscoring the global theme of this episode.

Nervous system regulation is all the rage and it is so important to so many symptoms and health conditions. When you have an overactive and highly sensitive system, it might not be enough to take a deep breath or trigger your vagus nerve with singing or cold water. Those tools are powerful and you should know how to use them but for many of us the ultimate root cause of mast cell activation, autoimmunity, chronic issues like long covid, POTS, etc. is deeper trauma that created a lack of safety and we need to address that before gut health, hormone balance, or other triggers can be safely dealt with. If you or someone you know is chemically sensitive, can't tolerate many foods or supplements or feel like you are spinning your wheels with chasing inflammation or histamine problems, don't miss this episode!    Resources mentioned in the episode:   What Is Histamine Intolerance this article includes a free download for my low histamine diet   Tools For Regulating Your Nervous System    Grab the Midlife Is More Than HRT guide free right here if like me, midlife didn't feel quite like you expected.

Check out the collection of fidgets Team Shiny loves! Is the 'overdiagnosing' of ADHD, autism, and other neurodevelopmental conditions a 'danger,' and to whom? Isabelle and David continue taking some common myths and misperceptions, questioning who and how we gatekeep 'neurodiversity' (including the idea that maybe there really is no 'neurotypical')--and how one group's fears that these labels harm us cannot negate the fear neurospicy folks have that they will be in trouble, or judged, or stigmatized for being who they are and unmasking. Also using the power of compassion and inviting more conversations, while not jumping to cancelling anyone--because everyone gets to fart in an elevator once or twice. -----Isabelle is coming in hot. She continues to explore her reaction to a podcast episode she listened to recently, Armchair Expert with guest Suzanne O'Sullivan on overdiagnosis, which went from covering seizure disorders to ADHD and autism, especially high-masking autism, real quick.  She is so frustrated that a non-expert on ADHD—someone like O'Sullivan, whose expertise is working with epilepsy and seizure disorders, has now spent so much time talking about ADHD and autism when that is not an area of expertise. David names that he thinks this is an important conversation to have, because we are validating the other perspectives. There is a medical model of disease sets us up to want to oppose or eradicate the ‘disease;' where things like neurodevelopment conditions like ADHD and autism are not something to be ‘cured' or ‘fixed.” David makes the comparison, its like a bunch of people sitting and talking about going to Mexico when no one has ever been there—cultural representation. For example, someone has mild amounts of anxiety throughout the day. They understand this anxiety as having ADHD. They use ADHD interventions to help them and they found a community, and it makes sense and they feel better, it works for them. And then someone comes up with a reason to say that person does not have ADHD, that this definition does not apply—why are we being so careful when it comes to gatekeeping diversity, including neurodiversity?  This wonderful person that David met at a training, named Shay, asked: is there anyone that is neurotypical? We could think of the difference between traits and states. And then he thought about personal examples. He doesn't know if there is someone "neurotypical." Would it to be less shocking that people have different neurological needs or educational differences if we recognized that there may be no 'one' baseline or group to compare everything to? And how quickly we dismiss difference--like knowing that because David listened to books, the argument that what he did was not 'reading'--but we get back to actual question, which is...what was the task, and did it get done?  Often, talking about the fantasy of how ADHD looks or how its supposed to be, it's more about other people. A lot of people with ADHD believe that if its easy for them, they're cheating. Because its supposed to be hard. Do most non-ADHD people think that way?  The debates are now that anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD—these are neurological differences—they are also looking at causal factors to all these conditions that are not chosen. So is the only person who is ‘normal' the person who has no feelings, reactions, or responses?  Someone who has no big responses to stimuli, someone who is antisocial? Isabelle does fall into the categorizing and black and white thinking, and how its a part of learning, to categorize and generalize. This is not dissimilar to how people talk about race, gender, and about culturally defined parts of experiences because we collectively make them a thing—maybe its myth making and collective storytelling. There is a gravitational pull to the idea of being neurotypical or mentally ‘well' and then there's good and bad. Isabelle wonders where the compassion goes? David speaks up—they have compassion. People are scared. People are scared and when we're scared, we have a reflexive reactions. People have found safety or comfort in the label of ‘normal' or ‘neurotypical,' and they see difference as not good, and they're really trying to, in their mind, help people in their messaging. Terror management theory: when you're scared, you find a group of people who are like you and you band together to be less scared. So, there are a chunk of people out there who are getting very specific about who is in or out of the group.  David can have a lot of compassion for that fear, that fear about who gets to belong. But he also wants to speak to the neurodivergent person who is doing something you tell them will help—and it hurts them? It's a real fear we carry. David uses the example of his mom—bless her heart (see the Southern US use of this phrase on many levels below)—who grew up being told the importance of having arch support in shoes, and so when David had flat feet, she had him use these inserts—David is not blaming his mom, she did the best she could—lots of people are told not to touch things, don't go into the light. Every neurodivergent person has to have the fear “I'm doing this wrong, I'm in trouble, I'm doing something bad!” To little David: you know, you have flat feet, you have more stability around corners—but another voice would say “don't tell anyone you have flat feet, it's bad.” He has compassion for the fear people have that want everyone to be the same, to not stand out or be different, and there is also a fear that neurodivergent people sit with every day about whether or not they're allowed to act the way they act. Isabelle names that the podcasters were saying “oh, these diagnoses are an excuse to then act in ways that are socially awkward.” Ahem. Isabelle describes how this feels like when she describes her inner workings to someone in all the steps she takes when she sits down next to someone, wondering if this is the right physical distance, is she staring at their eyebrows too long, is she pausing appropriately, etc.—and when she unmasks and reveals this, the person considers it a compliment to say “I couldn't tell.” It's the idea that someone outside of you knows more about your experience than you do. The way that diagnoses connect to power and gatekeeping for services and Isabelle makes the point that those who are saying “over diagnosis is dangerous”—to whom? On what planet are folks who are neurospicy getting enough of the supports and services and resources and access that they need? The system is already failing most of us. David names: this isn't cancer, this isn't people getting chemo erroneously. There is no danger in identification, it's about getting our needs met. What do we do as a society to neglected people, and the more you know about your needs, the less of a danger being neglected becomes. This is a question of someone who knows a lot about things wandered over into another area and made bold statements without the expertise. Isabelle was extra miffed that she also dismissed the intersections of Autism, ADHD, POTS, hyper mobile Ehlers Danlos, and MCAS and ‘nonexistent' —so damaging and harmful. These are real things, the interconnectedness of them is being actively researched, just because you are new to the party does not make something false or untrue. As David puts it, in the 70's or 80's, the APA took a vote to decide if being gay was good or bad, essentially (“do we keep gayness as a disorder?” Yes folks, this was that recently. GAH.). Now imagine someone was asleep for ten years and missed that memo and is now walking around looking at pride flags wondering “why are there so man...

“Fire alarms, elevators, emergency phones—these systems are mandated by law, and they require reliable communication paths,” says Jake Jacoby, Founder & CEO of TELCLOUD. At Navigate 25, Jacoby spoke with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, about the growing urgency of replacing traditional copper POTS lines as carriers abandon legacy infrastructure. With deregulation driving up costs and carriers shifting investment to wireless and fiber, millions of POTS-dependent systems are at risk. TELCLOUD provides a backend platform that enables reseller partners to deliver next-generation POTS replacement services. Unlike one-size-fits-all box solutions, TELCLOUD's flexible platform integrates with partners such as Ericsson, Digi, Peplink, and others, ensuring reliable connectivity, 24-hour battery backup, and compliance with NFPA, CAL FIRE, and local fire department codes. Jacoby emphasized that POTS replacement is no longer optional modernization but a legal requirement. “Elevator phones, fire panels—if those lines go down, buildings become unsafe and unusable. Our platform ensures compliance, monitoring, and future-proof reliability.” TELCLOUD has also built direct API integrations with Metaswitch and Alianza, allowing partners to bring their own switching infrastructure and leverage TELCLOUD's expertise to deliver code-compliant solutions. “We're not customer-facing—we're the engine behind the resellers. Customers trust their providers, sometimes for decades. We help those providers deliver POTS replacement the right way.” For more information, visit telcloud.com.

“It's a $50 billion market—but it can only be captured with diligence, the right hardware stack, and the right partners,” says Tina Telson, Founder & CEO of SouthLight Services. At Navigate 25, Telson joined Jake Jacoby, Founder & CEO of TELCLOUD, in conversation with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to discuss how their partnership is helping enterprises and service providers address the urgent challenge of replacing legacy POTS lines. SouthLight, a voice-focused boutique MSP founded in 2024, has made POTS replacement a core service, backed by TELCLOUD's flexible backend platform. The collaboration allows SouthLight to deliver code-compliant, monitored, and future-proofed alternatives for fire alarms, elevators, and other mandated life-safety systems. Telson emphasized the ground-level realities of the opportunity: “Replacing these lines is not easy. It takes preparedness in order to be successful. You can't just slam something on a wall and hope that it works—you have to plan for it.” Jacoby agreed, highlighting that TELCLOUD's role is to empower resellers like SouthLight: “We built this platform for partnerships. Resellers bring the expertise and customer relationships. We deliver the engine behind the scenes.” The pair also pointed to the nuances of compliance—passing fire marshal inspections, ensuring 24-hour battery backup, and integrating with platforms like Alianza and Metaswitch through APIs. Their joint approach reduces risks for customers while enabling MSPs to scale into a multi-billion-dollar opportunity without cutting corners.

This week's EYE ON NPI takes a look at a new product with a lot of potential: it's the Microchip Technology MCP41U83 (Single) and MCP42U83 (Dual) Digital Potentiometer series. This family of solid-state potentiometers is ready to replace your mechanical knobs and trimmers: no through hole soldering, and no mechanical failures due to oil, dirt or vibration. With 10-bit resolution, you'll get excellent repeatability and precision for tweaking analog voltages. And, the high 100MHz+ bandwidth means you can use it for filters, audio, sensors, without worry that about losing your signal shape. Potentiometers are trusty mechanical-to-electrical components, used in almost every design to convert mechanical motion - both linear and rotational - to an electronic signal that can easily be measured. They're inexpensive, available in thousands of configurations (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/category/potentiometers-variable-resistors/5): linear or logarithmic, panel mount or SMT, single or dual, linear or rotational, in values from 1 ohm up to 1 Meg. They all pretty much work the same way, with a strip of conductive material such that from end-to-end the resistance is the total 'range' of the pot, and a wiper that literally wipes across from one end to another. Pots can be easily configured as voltage dividers by putting a signal across the two ends and then 'tapping' in to the wiper. Or, they can be rheostats (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiometer#Rheostat) where only one end and the wiper are used to make a variable resistor value. We love pots and trimmers and use them all the time, but they have serious down-sides. Over time, the wipers eventually scrape through the conductive material creating 'scratchy' pots that jump around in value. Or, oil and dust get in and gunk up the internals (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUMxFIH5BN8). They can also drift over time or with humidity so that the center isn't really centered anymore. Also, if your product gets moved around, the knob can get bumped or if its a trimmer, it can get shifted from the vibration (https://forum.digikey.com/t/potentiometer-locking-adhesive-goop/50757) - for that reason if you open up a product with trimmers often times they are dabbed with wax or glue to keep them 'set' (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/mg-chemicals/4228A-55ML/17884735). Thus the genius of digital pots! The Microchip Technology MCP41U83 (https://www.digikey.com/short/wt3zwnq5) and MCP42U83 series chips can replace the mechanical versions while providing I2C or SPI interface for configuration. Unlike many digital pot chips we've used in the past, the MCP41U83 (https://www.digikey.com/short/wt3zwnq5) has 10-bits of resolution for 1024 positions - most top-out at 7-bits or 128 positions! That means you'll actually get better resolution and repeatability than a mechanical pot. Also, many digipots lose their value when power cycled, but the MCP41U83 (https://www.digikey.com/short/wt3zwnq5) comes with internal non-volatile memory so once you've settled on a value you can save it semi-permanently. Note that the NVRAM is rated for 1000 cycle writes so just be aware you can't write to it continuously. The MCP41U83 (https://www.digikey.com/short/wt3zwnq5) comes with both I2C and SPI interfaces. For I2C there are two address pins so you can select up to 4 addresses. For SPI, the pots can be 'daisy-chained' together for up to 128 without needing separate CS lines for each one. For power/logic you can use 2.7~5.5V. If you happen to want to use this for a split supply, you can but the split voltages will still need to be no more than -2.75 and +2.75V. A nice specification we noted in the datasheet is the high bandwidth, with tens-of-MHz even at 100Kohm - this makes it a fine substitute for trimmers in analog settings where signal is passing through the pot such as filters or op-amp circuits. For times when you have stereo signals you want to manage at the same time, there's also the MCP42U83 (https://www.digikey.com/short/hcqj8nn2) which has dual separated pots inside. Both configurations come in both QFN and TSSOP packages, for easy pick-and-placing. We really like the ease and simplicity of these digital potentiometers with good documentation and just enough features to solve common engineering requirements. Whether you need the signal channel MCP41U83 (https://www.digikey.com/short/wt3zwnq5) or dual MCP42U83 (https://www.digikey.com/short/hcqj8nn2), 5K or 100K, QFN or TSSOP. DigiKey has the full series in stock (https://www.digikey.com/short/wz13wpp5) right now for immediate shipment! Order today and you can start integrating these components into your next design by tomorrow afternoon.

"This isn't a business where you swap technology every two years—these are life safety lines that need to work for the next 20," says Jake Jacoby, CEO of TELCLOUD. "That's why our approach is about doing the right thing for customers and giving partners confidence that what they deliver today will stand the test of time." In the latest episode of the TELCLOUD POTS and Shots Podcast Series, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, sits down with Jacoby to discuss what happens beyond the initial POTS replacement sale. While much of the conversation around POTS migration focuses on technology and cost, Jacoby emphasizes that the real value for resellers lies in becoming a trusted advisor—guiding customers toward solutions that are reliable, future-proof, and backed by TELCLOUD's long-term investment strategy. Jacoby explains that while some vendors offer quick fixes using VoIP for life-safety lines, those solutions will fail within a few years. By contrast, TELCLOUD has taken the more difficult but necessary path: building direct IP connections to alarm central stations, ensuring reliability and compliance for decades to come. For resellers, this means confidence in recommending TELCLOUD solutions—knowing they are protecting both customer relationships and recurring revenue streams. The episode also highlights TELCLOUD's 100% white-label model, allowing partners to brand solutions as their own while relying on TELCLOUD's engineering, monitoring, and backend support. From “one and done” installs to continuous remote monitoring, TELCLOUD eliminates repeat truck rolls, giving partners the ability to scale while maintaining customer trust. And, true to the POTS and Shots tradition, the conversation shifts to tequila. This time, Jacoby introduces Código Extra Añejo, a sweet, caramel-forward sipping tequila aged in oak barrels—perfect for the close of a business day. Next up in the series: “Tales from the Road: Global Momentum for POTS Replacement.” For more information, visit telcloud.com or call 844-900-2270.

This Week on PodcastDX: Understanding POTS with Dr. Diana Driscoll This week we are honored to welcome none other than Dr. Diana Driscoll, a world-renowned authority on the autonomic nervous system. An optometrist and Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry (FAAO), Dr. Driscoll is internationally recognized for her groundbreaking research on Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and other conditions once thought to be “invisible.” ​ Dr. Driscoll has dedicated her career to improving the lives of those affected by autonomic disorders. Her journey began as a patient herself, battling POTS. Frustrated by the lack of answers, she self-funded much of her research to accelerate progress for patients today. That personal fight has fueled over a decade of innovation in diagnosis and treatment strategies that are transforming patient care. ​In this episode, we explore her unique perspective as both a former patient and a leading researcher. Dr. Driscoll shares her story, her research, and her vision for the future of POTS treatment. ​What is Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)? POTS is a form of orthostatic intolerance that causes the heart to beat abnormally fast when moving from sitting or lying down to standing up. Breaking down the name helps explain the condition: • Postural: Related to body position • Orthostatic: Related to standing upright • Tachycardia: A heart rate above 100 beats per minute • Syndrome: A collection of symptoms occurring together Normally, the autonomic nervous system keeps heart rate and blood pressure stable regardless of position. In POTS, that balance is disrupted. The body struggles to constrict blood vessels and regulate heart rate properly, leading to dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, fatigue, and more. ​Who Does POTS Affect? POTS affects an estimated 1 to 3 million Americans, most often women between the ages of 15 and 50. However, men can develop the condition as well. Risk factors include: • Viral or serious infections (such as mononucleosis) • Pregnancy • Physical trauma or surgery • Certain autoimmune conditions (e.g., Sjögren's syndrome, lupus, celiac disease) ​How Does POTS Affect the Body? When standing, gravity naturally pulls 10–15% of blood into the lower body. Normally, leg muscles and hormonal responses (like the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine) help keep blood circulating back to the brain and heart. For people with POTS, too much blood pools below the heart. Their blood vessels don't constrict properly, forcing the heart to compensate by racing. This imbalance causes hallmark symptoms such as dizziness, exhaustion, brain fog, and even fainting. ​While POTS is not life-threatening, it can be life-altering. Daily tasks may become difficult, and symptoms often fluctuate over time. The good news: with the right combination of dietary adjustments, medications, and physical activity, many people experience meaningful improvements in their quality of life. ​Learn More Join us as Dr. Diana Driscoll shares her remarkable journey, her patient-centered research, and her continuing mission to bring visibility and solutions to the millions living with POTS.

“There is always a reason for illness. You may not have all your answers today, but that doesn't mean answers don't exist. Never give up.” – Dr. Diana DriscollIn this episode, Dr. Diana Driscoll — optometrist, researcher, patient, and founder of POTS Care — takes us inside her groundbreaking journey to uncover the hidden mechanisms of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).After years of worsening illness and dismissal by the medical system, Dr. Driscoll combined her medical expertise with relentless patient-driven research. What emerged is now known as the Driscoll Theory, a framework that explores:What drives POTS: high intracranial pressure, vagus nerve dysfunction, neurotransmitter disruption, and systemic vascular irregularities.How to intervene: restoring vagus nerve function, reducing inflammation, supporting acetylcholine activity, and managing oxidative stress.Practical tools: supplements like ParaSym Plus and NAC Max, targeted use of histamine blockers, and non-invasive approaches to improving quality of life.Emotional resilience: how she navigated years of invalidation, supported her sick child, and created POTS Rebels, a community for patients seeking hope and science-backed solutions.This conversation is both deeply personal and highly practical, offering clarity for patients, practitioners, and caregivers searching for answers.00:00 – 02:00 | Intro & sponsor message (Healthgevity) Healthgevity our sponsor : ⁠Website⁠ Enter: ONETHING for a 10% discount02:00 – 03:00 | Adam introduces Dr. Driscoll & her personal journey with POTS03:00 – 08:00 | The turning point: realizing medicine had no answers → “I'm on my own”08:00 – 13:00 | Discovering high intracranial pressure and what eye patterns reveal14:00 – 18:00 | The emotional toll & why she built the POTS Rebels community19:00 – 24:00 | The what: inflammation as the hidden driver of POTS25:00 – 33:00 | The how: vagus nerve, acetylcholine, nicotine patch experiment, and ParaSym Plus34:00 – 38:00 | Genetic predisposition, hypermobility, and EDS connections38:00 – 41:00 | Identifying intracranial pressure symptoms (coat hanger pattern, nausea, insomnia)41:00 – 44:00 | Framework for healing: vagus support, histamine blockers, antioxidants45:00 – 48:00 | Take-home: “Never give up.

In this episode, Mari and Dr. Leslie discuss POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and why many migraine sufferers may also have POTS symptoms. Dr. Leslie shares her experiences with migraine clients, estimating that approximately 25% of them exhibit POTS symptoms. A detailed explanation of POTS is presented by Dr. Leslie so that we can fully understand the scope of the symptoms, breaking down the meaning of its acronym and highlighting the changes that occur in body position, blood pressure, and heart rate. You may (or may not) be surprised to learn that even though Dr. Leslie has managed to present a basic understanding of POTS within the first few minutes of the episode, the reality is that POTS is sometimes talked about like it's a medical mystery. Dr. Leslie addresses this issue, emphasizing that the symptoms align with basic physiology principles. She points out that even some of the most well-known medical institutions will treat POTS and other medical problems like there's no way to know how or why the symptoms occur, and how unnecessary and unfortunate that practice is for suffering patients. Join Mari and Dr. Leslie in this detailed episode as they go through the relationship between POTS and migraines, emphasizing the importance of understanding physiological processes in finding effective solutions.

What do we mean when we see the word "Trifecta" ? ​In Horse Racing you would be talking about a bet where you must pick the first, second, and third-place horses in the precise order they finish.   In skincare, "The Trifecta" can refer to a set of three essential skincare products that work together for visible results, like a cleanser, serum, and moisturizer. But in this show where we discuss healthcare conditions, "medical trifecta" refers to the three specific diseases which are often found to occur together.  For today's show that means EDS, (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome)  POTs (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) & MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) and our guest is Candace Johnson.  Candace is a mom of three girls and a chronic illness advocate. She shares her journey living with what many of us call “the trifecta”: POTS, MCAS, and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. She also has small fiber neuropathy. Her goal is to bring awareness, especially for people still searching for answers and to remind others they're not alone in this.  ​  

I'm Dr. Daniel Cameron, and today I'm addressing a question I often see in my practice: What are the risk factors for chronic Lyme disease?Chronic Lyme SymptomsSome patients do not fully recover from Lyme disease. They experience a broad range of symptoms, including ongoing fatigue, pain, sleep problems, neurologic changes, emotional strain, and disruption of daily life. These challenges can affect school, parenting, and work responsibilities.Common chronic Lyme manifestations include:Musculoskeletal: chronic arthritis, muscle pain, stiffness, and tendon inflammation.Neurologic and psychiatric: brain fog, memory issues, neuropathy, sensory changes, depression, irritability, mood swings, and PANS. Post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) is often debated, but I view it as a potential ongoing infection rather than simply a syndrome.Cardiovascular/dysautonomia: POTS, Lyme carditis, arrhythmias, chest pain, and dizziness.Other manifestations: sensory overload (light, sound, heat, cold, or smell sensitivity), sometimes related to dysautonomic issues.Risk Factors for Chronic Lyme DiseaseWhile formal assessments are ongoing, in my practice I see several consistent contributors:Severe initial infection such as neurologic Lyme meningitis or carditis.Treatment delays, sometimes months or years.Early systemic involvement at onset—widespread fatigue, pain, neurological symptoms, or functional loss.Co-infections such as Babesia and other tick-borne pathogens.Reinfections and relapses, which can increase the likelihood of chronic complications.Key Takeaways for CliniciansScreen patients carefully for these risk factors.Monitor for co-infections, especially in high-risk or relapsing patients.Do not dismiss persistent symptoms, even if a formal diagnosis has not yet been established.Advice for PatientsSeek early treatment—timing matters.If symptoms persist, pursue a second opinion or find a physician experienced in managing chronic manifestations of Lyme disease.Watch for co-infections, especially Babesia, which may complicate recovery and even mimic other conditions (e.g., menopause).Advocate for comprehensive care for yourself and your family.Thank you for joining me.
