I live in Southern New Hampshire on a 24 acre Farm. My son and father in-law were both tested positive with Lyme.
I have been tested several times with ELISA Negative (3x) AND Western Blot Negative (1x).
I am 44 years old, and was previously an active athlete. My symptoms started about 1 year ago and are gradually getting worse.
My main symptoms are: joint pain that can migrate. Both hands have swollen and painful fingers. I also have pain off an on in my shoulders, neck, jaws, wrists, knees, and feet.
Other symptoms: exhaustion, muscle stiffness in knees and back, night sweats or chills, numbness in arms, fingers, legs and feet. Occassional stabbing pains that go away quickly. Difficulty concentrating and remembering things. Also, I am very stiff and achy in the mornings.
I am having my amalgam fillings removed and while being tested for material sensitivities was also tested for Lyme. It indicated a very strong presence and was told to find a good Lyme doctor.
I will be most grateful for any recommendations or helpful hints.
Thank you for reading!

This link takes me to the CALDA Lyme site. Maybe I'm missing something but I cannot find the link to the LDA Site they reference in your link.
Thanks!
