Asked 8 years ago Isabel 782
I suffer from Lyme disease, I know a few people with Lyme disease and most of them are females, do you think that gender is an important factor to develope Chronic Lyme Disease?
Yes, I think Lyme disease is a neuro immune disease. Immune system of females is different of immune system of the males. We have more autoimmune diseases. If you have a strong immune system you have low possibility to develop Chronic Lyme disease

I have seen that the stats of the lyme stats Lyme Map of this website shows that only 18% of the sufferers are men... that seems too few for me anyway.

Maybe we women are more open to show and share our weakness
Also our innune system is different and tends to be low when we are having our period. Hormons fluctuation.
