Is it possibke to get a sense of what percentage of Lyme sufferers were initially diagnosed with Depression/Anxiety and/or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

Thanks in advance.

My initial diagnosis (after refusing to test me for Lyme)

Was Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Then came the Generalized Anxiety disorder.

Count me in.

Hugs,

That's exactly what my doctor thought it was, today I had a neurologist appointment and he wants to do MRIs of my spine and a lumbar puncture. 2 Negative ELISA tests, but now the neurologist wants to do a WB just in case.... I feel so bad, with tingling hands and feet from the knee down, fogginess, headaches, no fever however. I don't have a diagnosis of why I feel this way, so I'm kinda hoping it's LD, even if treatment will be difficult.
