Hmm, I had a western blot done & here is what my doc said, "It came back negative, but that doesn't mean anything." She then proceeded to tell me that she doesn't feel qualified to deal with my symptoms!!
Isn't that their job?! I went to a chiro friend & through muscle testing he didn't detect LD, I can't say I'm sold on muscle testing, as much as I'd like to believe it.
My upper back & shoulders have a sunburned sensation, even though they are not sunburned, what is wrong with me????? Last night, in the middle of the night, my shins felt hot, not to the touch, just hot inside.
I ordered a wb through IGENEX & am searching for a LLMD, who will hopefully either diagnose LD or rule it out (only by realizing it's something else I suppose.) This is SOOO frustrating!

I don't know if Lyme disease is ever ruled out.

It is so difficult to get a positive test that LLMD's have to go on clinical signs and the clinical signs mimic other illnesses.

I've often wondered myself how we can know if we are chasing lyme when we should not be.
