My neurologist gave me about 30 different blood tests and determined that I have markers for Lyme disease from a childhood event. As a child I lived in the woods in Virginia. She could not honestly state that Lyme disease was the cause, but it could have been.
I find quite a few posts on the internet that Lyme disease could be an issue.
All other blood tests were fine. So, she defined me as idiopathic.
Had neuropathy for about 5 years and balance is my main issue.

Hi, @wburgb1ll . Like you, I had Lyme's about twelve years ago. I had excruciating pain until the antibiotics kicked in. I fell about nine years ago and injured my lower back and buttocks. Had it under control with meds and SCS until 2021 when all the symptoms gradually returned. More meds, treatments. EMG suggested Neuropathy(of course). I have many symptoms that don't jive with neuropathy. Lyme test is positive but not quite enough bands on Western blot to confirm long-term Lyme's. Wondering if all this could, indeed, be aftereffects of chronic Lyme's?
What symptoms are you experiencing? Thanks. Be well.
