Alice, Re: Asking A Question For A Friend

[Guest guest]

Hi Alice, I really just musing about this and am a total newbie. I

was thinking more along the lines of the possibility of either

people who already might have a genetic predispostion to mito

disease, but no symptoms, having them appear full blown after

the stress of the Lyme infection. Or, perhaps the idea of the

Lyme spirochete organism (which is a really nasty one) causing

some sort of non-genetic based mitochondrial imbalance. I

found your comment about testing positive for the Lyme antibody

interesting because we'd just been discussing Lyme on the

adultmitos groups. Would sure love to see data on whether adult

onset, non-familial mito disorders cluster in Lyme prevalent

areas. If it turns out I do have a mito disease, it's possible it's

genetic, but I think it's just as possible that it's spontaneous.

Best Wishes,

Anita
