And if blood disorders are part of the bigger picture of autoimmune disease - think how many people you must know with at least one. Chronic disease is so common these days. Three people in my family had sarcoidosis.
Just getting a doctor to recognize that lyme is a disease can be a feat in itself. I have no memory of ever being bitten by a tick, but they could be easy to miss like you say. I have also been outdoors a lot horseback riding over the years and maybe mosquitoes carry disease. But then not every tick carries lyme, etc. That's why I think they won't find 1 single cause for these diseases, because if it was that simple, they would have figured it out by now.
Sometimes I think the specialists are just too specialized to see the big picture.
