go to http://www.ilads.org - the International Lyme and Associated Diseases website
their Basic info will explain Lyme is a CLINICAL diagnosis. Not to rely on testing.
you can print out the green booklet from http://lymepa.org (no www) It's a 29 page, great tick disease primer not just about Lyme has pages of symptoms

Did you get a copy of the tests? If not, get them. The Western blot should be reporting bands. Were they all negative?
What are your symptoms? Give us some history. Have you ever been out of Pakistan?
