This study is the first to use a combined medical and communication science approach, and aims to assess patients\u2019 experiences with CLD &amp; CLD-related care, identify themes and repertories in these patients\u2019 narrations, and provide potential ways to improve communication with them.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Informed by the principles of \u2018clean language\u2019, we conducted focus groups with self-identified CLD patients (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u200915). We asked participants about their experiences with CLD and CLD-related healthcare. We performed thematic analyses using a bottom-up approach based in discourse analysis. We also sought to identify specific types of verbalizations (repertoires) across themes.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Participants thematised a heterogeneous set of CLD-associated symptoms, which they frequently labelled as \u2018invisible\u2019 to others. Their illness significantly affected their daily lives, impacting their work, social activities, relationships with loved ones, hobbies and other means of participating in society. Negative experiences with healthcare providers were near-universal, also in patients with short-lived CLD-associated symptoms. Verbalizations were notable for frequent use of communicative modes that implicitly create common ground between participants and that give a certain validity to personal experiences (impersonal \u2018you\u2019 and other forms of presupposition).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Central themes found in CLD patients\u2019 communication are 1. the experience of significant symptoms, 2. for which adequate relief is only rarely found from conventional medical practitioners, and 3. that are largely invisible to the outside world. Verbalizing these themes, patients use various repertoires for their shared experiences, such as a feeling of abandonment or not being heard by the medical system, feelings of loss with respect to their previous health, and the idea that they might have been better off had they been diagnosed sooner. Working with these repertoires will enable healthcare providers to establish a shared perspective with their CLD patients, thus engaging in more fruitful doctor-patient communication. We hypothesize that these findings are not unique to CLD, but may also be applicable to other conditions with an uncertain aetiology, such as Long COVID.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12875-022-01736-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,2]],"date-time":"2022-06-02T07:08:57Z","timestamp":1654153737000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Knowing the entire story \u2013 a focus group study on patient experiences with chronic Lyme-associated symptoms (chronic Lyme disease)"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"M.
