How much do the need to consider that it might be Lyme? An abnormal SPECT - hmm. Wake up!

dunno how many of us will be able to read/comprehend this article I havent gotten through it yet but I thought Id link to the full article that the MSN article is discussing in case anyone wanted to read it as well its really very short.

Either that or you have to sign up to read more Im not sure...

On further inspection you have to sign up to read the full text but I doubt I'd understand enough of its medical jargon to bother but for anyone else that might heres the link:

Thanks for posting Scott and Zoe -

Even though they don't specifically mention lyme at least they mention infection as a possible cause.

So many problems could be solved with decent lyme disease testing.

Ridiculous!!!

I told my husband about the article and he said that pretty soon they're going to be saying that people with fibromyalgia get red, round rashes and spontaneously grow a tick out from somewhere on their body. Grrrr! [bonk]

FYI~ Viral infections can also cause abnormal spect scans. Just because one has an abnormal spect, you cannot assume it was caused by the lyme bacteria.
