Yes, when I was 17.

Maybe my gut is wrong and I don't have Lyme. Maybe I just have CFS and fibro. All of my testing is normal or inconclusive it seems.

Chick - I wouldn't go on the CD57 test results - as far as deciding whether you have LD.
They aren't reliable...in fact many LLMD's don't use them.

Interesting. That seems to be a common answer, and denominator and a link between EBV, and Lyme D.

I know, I just wish just once I'd have a definitive lab result. It's just so demoralizing to keep wondering what's wrong. I'm just feeling out of sorts and weepy today. My head is pounding, my muscles feel like I ran a marathon and I just feel like there's no end in site for me. I hate that I am like this for my little ones. Sometimes I feel like they are missing out on the life they deserve, that they'd turn out better if they had a fun and energetic mom. It just sucks. I see my new doctor tomorrow for a physical exam and his plan. I'm just nervous. I feel like I've been living at the doctor's office lately.

Please read my link. If it's on target, I and my daughter need to be tested for EBV. We know we have Lyme long term. I got Mono from her 14 years ago.

Chick - I'm sorry you're having a rough time...but remember this isn't forever.

I can't remember - is this Dr. Lyme Literate?

Because the testing is so inaccurate I struggled with taking another test or not.

We all want concrete evidence of what we have and lyme just isn't like anything else.

Even when we get a diagnosis then we have to contend with "What will be the right treatment?"

At every corner of my journey I had questions created by doubt. Did I have Bart? Babs? Maybe it all was mono?

I just kept one huge thing in my mind - Lyme loves stress.

I did not want to feed the monster, so I had to resign to just treating the best I could for as long as I could and keep the ugly doubts away as much as possible.

I am in remission now and I still can have doubts. Is it really gone? Will it come back? What did I have? Did I cure lyme, bart or babs? Or all three?

So if you are having doubts - let me assure you, you are normal. Such a weird disease and it definitely does play tricks with our brains.
