I am scared I did not get enough testing for different diagnoses before lyme. I had a circular rash looked like a bull's eye about 2 yrs ago, not seen by a md. then I become increasingly ill. 3 md tested for lyme conventional tests said I was lyme negative. one llmd tested for lyme with igenex said I had lyme and babeoiss exposure with only 41++. one llmd talked to me on skype and told me I have lyme and another llmd told me I had it and started treatment.
with treatment I am so so ill I can't function and I am terrified I am getting treatment with out having enough testing. I was not seen by a neurologist, nor an arthritic specialist and tested for ms, lupus, and other diseases that mimic lyme. I am having terrible headaches, neck stiffness, nausea, muscle aches and pain, pain on bottom of foot, anxiety, chest pain, cant think, anger, crazy feeling. I could go out some before I started treatment and now I can't function and get out of the house. i also have a lesion on my spine was evaluated for cancer negative.
how much testing has others had before their lyme diagnoses?
