Has anyone had a positive Lyme antibody test with a negative Western Blot test? Is it true that only Lyme Disease specialists would be able to truly diagnose you? Does anyone know of how to find docotrs in a certain area that specialize in Lyme disease?

dolfin...anything is possible with the tests. They are useless. Please post in the find Doctor thread and someone will reply with a LLMD in your area.

Agreed! Lyme is so complex, complicated, misdiagnosed, confusing, upside-down crazy. You need a clinical diagnosis from a LLMD (Lyme Literate doctor).

Then there are the co-infections.

So many people on this forum have so much advice to offer. As DaveNJ said, the Seeking A Doctor section is an excellent place to start.

Good luck to you.
