I have been tested for Lyme twice... Both negative. I am about to be tested for a third time.
I have been tested for lupus, hyperthyroidism,multiple arthritis issues and various other illnesses and all have been ruled out. All blood work is returning normal.
I have Crohn's disease....which is not currently active and my gastroenterologist feels due to this these symptoms are not Crohn's related. I am scheduled for further testing in the Crohn's arena in a few weeks.
I have seen multiple rheumatologists with no luck. My symptoms seem to align with that of fibromyalgia.
I am looking, once and for all, to rule out Lyme or finally be diagnosed with it. All of this is entering year three and my ability to function day to day is becoming more and more difficult..

What kind of test? Where? Post the results here and get some help.
Lyme is a clinical diagnosis. The test results only add evidence as they are imperfect. You would be better off going to a doc that knows a lot about lyme, not an ordinary GP, etc.
BTW, your screen name is offputting.
