Any Lyme disease sufferers out there?

Welcome @leew01, I'm not a doctor but I think that Lyme Disease can be difficult to diagnose like a lot of different conditions and that just adds a lot of confusion for people that may have the condition. Here are a couple of references on Lyme Disease:
-- Mayo Clinic expert speaks of significance of Lyme disease uptick:

-- Lyme disease misinformation has physicians searching for guidance:

Have you been diagnosed with Lyme Disease?

Thanks for the info. No, I haven't. I tested positive for ANA's but nobody can tell me what I have.
I've had a cousin diagnosed. She has now died from it. A former neighbor is homebound because of it. Both had trouble finding a correct diagnosis, had to search doctors and listen to absurdities ("It's all in your head" See a psychiatrist. ... and more)

John thanks for the follow-up articles! They dispel many beliefs our ordinary PCP's have with Lyme!
Interesting historical Fact! When they examined the body of the "ICE MAN" found in the Alps that he was 5,000 years old, he had Lyme Disease!
Please everyone try and comment on your experiences and information you may have about Lyme.
It may not help us who have "LATE STAGE" OR "CHRONIC LYME"!
But help someone who maybe newly infected!
THANKS,
