Hi All, I live in Illinois and have been dx cdc positive with lyme disease.
My sister is having all the same symptoms I have and lives in the Pittsburgh area.
I'm looking for a lyme doctor close to her home. If anyone knows of a good one please let me know.
Also, is this common to have a brother and sister with lyme disease?
Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.
-Mike

Hi, Mike, I sent you a list for your sister.
Yes, to your question of being common for siblings to both have lyme disease. There are families who ALL have lyme, it is not uncommon at all. Also, if your Mother had lyme than her children will most likely have it also.
Also, check out our great "Medical Questions" forum where you can ask all the questions you might have and our wonderful, knowledgeable members will answer them. Just read some of the threads and you'll see just how informative they are!
