Little known fact: Lyme's disease usually returns as negative. The only way to know for sure is if you are presetnign symptoms, regardless of test results, go on the treatment anyway. If you get better, then you know it was a false negative. I have a friend who suffered for a long time with Lyme's but always tested negative. They finally just put him on the medicine anyway and he got better.

We tested for Lyme’s with my daughter when we were going to all the different doctors on our quest for answers. She didn’t have it.

I am a new member of the group. I was diagnosed with Lyme disease 4 years ago

but probably have had it for many years. It took a long time to figure out what

was wrong until I found an knowledgeable doctor who was able to give me the

correct tests and direct me to a Lyme literate doctor. My sound sensitivity

came on suddenly last December. Some days it is worse then other and sometimes

it is almost unbearable. It has affected the a quality of my life to a great

degree because I have to avoid many situations that cause discomfort such as

resturants, stores, social event, even church. I sometime have to put ear plugs

in at work.

Lyme can definitely cause sound sensitivity.

If you want to know more about Lyme go to the International Lyme and Associated

Disorder Society website at www.ILADS.com

Also see the movie, " Under our Skin " - which is an eye opener.
