The fibro patient said she had been told to consider lyme, but her WB was negative, so she didn't have lyme. No testing for coinfections apparently. Trying to remember if she was from Lyme, CT, or that was someone else on the show.
The lyme caller made some good points, that lyme can mimic other diseases, for instance.
