Start reading about "chronic" lyme disease. Traditional western doctors are trained to go by the tests which are often inaccurate, particularly because if one has this long enough, the antibodies are suppressed and won't show up on a test. Lyme can be dormant for many years until one is traumatized either physically or mentally. There are false positives and false negatives. A "lyme literate doctor" will go by your symptoms as well as bands that show up on testing. Igenex is reputed to be a good lab for testing. Research I have seen states that Lyme can contribute to thyroid disease and is responsible for many other illnesses. Lyme is now called "the great imposter" because people get so many other diagnoses. My doctor says that the occurrence has spread to epidemic proportions and diagnosis is regularly

missed. Read about symptoms of Lyme. I have met several people consistently told by infectious disease specialists (even at s Hopkins!) that they don't have Lyme and eventually an alternative doc diagnosed it accurately. One of these people was in a wheelchair, about to have brain surgery! She is now getting better with treatment of Lyme. Good luck with your recovery.
