Inmorg:
Lyme doesn't show up in the blood accept in the early part of the illness. It's a timing problem. Now there is evidence you can get Lyme from a mosquito bite , so anyone can get it and not get tested in the time range, the test could accurately tell the true positive or neg result.
Many with Lyme have all the symptoms and not an accurate test result . I've heard that lack of good testing is a problem for other diseases, like prostate cancer.

So then how DO I find out whether I have Lyme disease or not? My joint pain is really bad. I cant work right now and I cant get disablity unless a doctor says I have Lyme.

Lyme is a cousin to syphilis. It hides in the system like said. I am

sure you have heard of latent syphilis. It is called that because it

hides and can come back from a cyst form to infect just like

original infection.. There are many new treatments being tried to

prevent the borrelia from going cyst form or L form. The WB test

looks for antibodies. If you cells are hiding them inside they will

not be recognized by the antibody antigen test, because you are

not making any. Your body simply things because it has picked

up some of your cytoplamic membrane nothing is wrong..Not

until you provoke a response by antibiotics where by the immune

system detects the dead or dying borrelia will it get a reaction.

When W. B discovered the borrelia in ticks in the first cases of

lyme in CT he also discovered filiaria in the ticks and it has not

been established until now that this entity was and is just as

transmissible as Bb.

One such way many are finding is they have high hemoglobins

and low sed rates. like between 1-3. So it would be thought cells

are full of good stuff. In Bb you will have low protein blood level

because what ever is in the cells is not protein but it sure looks

like it. Most lyme patients are also low in vitamin D because the

Bb attack bone marrow which causes pain. Autopsy reports

confirm this. Bone marrow is the number one site of finding Bb.

They simply do not test it because it is invasive, dangerous, and

costly. So we continue to suffer for lack of a better test since the

80's This does not have to happen. They prescribe more

antibiotics for acne than they do to save our live. I invite you to

read the IDSA hearing on the guidelines that came as a results of

and investigation by AG B challenge of conflict of interest.
