Lyme disease

[spider555]

Has anyone had any tests for this?

Apparently, it's difficult finding a positive reading.

Be interesting with the similar symptoms?

Ok I don't think it's that. Especially the later problems.

For me, it's the main issue with joint pains, which move around.

Plus, a few other things chucked in.

Yes I've had two different tests for Lyme disease and both times it was negative - I used to do a lot of fieldwork in a heavy Lyme disease area in my former job. My ex boss is still convinced I have it and says apparently the longer you wait to have a test after the initial symptoms show up the more likely you can get 'false negatives'. I honestly believe that a lot of fibro sufferers have undiagnosed lyme. Others might disagree.

I agree and despite having had 2 Lyme tests which, were negative,I still feel my symptoms are due to late stage Lyme disease. I have had the Lyme bulls eye rash a few times 😕

We definitely have some of the same symptoms.

I suppose it's funding for research is the problem.
