Lyme Disease and hypothyroid?

Hello all

As well as being hypothyroid I have sevear Chronic Fatigue.

Just to cross things off the list I am working through all the possibilities that might be underpinning my CF.

So I had a Lymes (elissa test) and the results state that I have been in contact with the Borrelia Burgdorferi bacterium at some stage.

Has anyone else had this test and then been advised they have Lyme Disease?

I read that if people have other diseases such as autoimmune that the test could result in a false positive.

I appreciate anyones ideas or experiences.

My friend is polaxed following Lymes. Toyally drdtroyed her life. She is looking into something callef Bartonella which, I believe, is a parasitic bacteria which csn be transmitted to someone through Tick bite. I'll leave you to look it up.
