Admittedly, I've had two western blot tests that came up negative, but I've had neuro symptoms for the past year and a half. I've had surgery, and been treated for several issues individually without doctors looking a the whole picture. I've been told its stress, depression, anxiety . . . right. I am a successful professional who was always a great public speaker and a networker. Top of my class in law school to barely able to conduct a conversation.
I've had MRI's, CT's, lumbar punctures. . . . yet, no one will just TRY a round of antibiotics. Done every test under the sun and x-ray possible.
Sick of seeing internists, neurologists, and getting the run around from my GP. I've paid these people tens of thousands of dollars with no relief. I NEED a DR who can think outside of the box.
So happy I found this site. Symptoms fall right in with Lyme. Tons of back, neck and facial pain. Sleep constantly, blurred vision, terrible headaches, numbness and tingling, joint pain and the neuro side.
Any help, or advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you can't get in to an LLMD within the next few weeks, order the test kit and see if your GP will draw the blood.
Do it early in the week so the blood does not sit around in the post office all weekend.
