What if i get tested for lyme and it comes back as something else?

james, your scarying yourself plz stop. let them run the test to ease your mind, but knwo this if it was something else its easyer to get treatment, and there is more studies for them then lyme. this is just my thinking as to the battles i have been fighting for my own treatment.

btw, they are doing a new study on HIV. seems the lions in affrica. are able to biuld up anitibodies to fight HIV. and they belive this can help to cure humans. its been in test fase now for about a yr. i saw it on 1 of the TVs discovey chanles. as i watch em all.

dont freak out, take deep breaths, and remeber no test will come back tomorrow. they take a lil while to be sent to the pab and reported back to your Dr.

if i was you and had the resoses to go to a LLMD right off this is what i would do. i would make a copy of the symtums list and check off each one that aplys to you. and show this to the Dr. also didnt you say you have a pic of a rash? if so show em at as well. a LLMD can add it all up and Dx you propperly.

James,

This is just my opinion but I don't think you would have twitching if you had Aids. It's a good idea to be checked though. When I first started getting sick, I was scared too. My ex husband cheated on me and I had all kinds of things running through my mind. I made them check me for everything.....Aids, Hepatitis, and even cancer.

I think we've all been down that road. You're not crazy, you're just worried and when you figure out what's going on then your mind will be settled. You do seem to have alot of Lyme symptoms though.

yes, this is my biggest fear.. i mean i could battle lyme and it would be crappy to deal with, but to battle a non-curable infectious disease would prolly put me at wits end and i would snowball into a deep deep dark place no one would want to go.. sometimes i feel so strong when i'm healthy but when i'm down and sick i feel so weak and so vulnerable.

My g/f was tested in aug of 08, this is 6 months after we started anything. and her result was neg. but hey, i' was happy about her, but i'm worried about me now..

the cough and twitching are really annoying, sometimes i dry cough for 10 minutes straight.. no reason at all, its in my throat. and of course it worries me...


i never thought i would be going back through this again.. The hiv thing is scary, did it in 2005 and it was very scary..

Yes, it is very scary. I did is twice already and I think I bit every single nail off, LOL. I was so sick, I thought fir sure it must be something really bad. Well, Lyme is pretty bad but at least there is hope. Not that theres not hope with anything else but you know what I mean.

James,

Believe me, I had alot of second chances. I'm not saying I was loose or anything, but I did make a ton of mistakes. You know, not having a dad in my life and looking for love in all the wrong places. Back then, Aids wasn't even really talked about but it was out there.

Just take the test and get it over with. Everything willbe fine. Just be extra carefull next time.

^^i know lyme is bad, and i seriously think i have it after seeing my pics. and all the symptoms. I don't want to have lyme, i don't want to hiv either, but if i had to pick one, i would take lyme. is that wrong of me? it is, i just know i have something, and anything is better than HIV. well, maybe cancer could be worse.. jeez, my head is full of negative thoughts..
