Also, there is evidence of syphilis in European skeletons from the Middle Ages, so it was not a new disease from the New World, it was already well known in Europe.

I have Sjogren's, often called "lupus lite" because it isn't as lethal if untreated. I've had Lyme disease and it did nothing to control the Sjogren's.
