No others in my family, but none of them live within 1,500 miles of me. However, I have a friend whose husband, 2 of her 4 kids, and both her husband's parents are all dx'd with Lyme. Klutzo

Me and 2 siblings so far. We're all 45+. We were raised in a city in Maine, but were always outdoors. We haven't lived with or near each other in 25 years. I've been sick off and on for 20 years. Next sibling was diagnosed with Lyme after many years of thinking she had fibro. It was my experience that convinced her to get tested. Third sibling was just hit with Transverse Myelitis. Doctors don't think it's Lyme. I beg to differ.
I think father and mother had/have it too. Mom is deceased but Dad has been a depressive almost all of his life.
Interestingly we're discovering when we run into former neighbors from our street that members of their families have Lyme.
