@mattkl817 What type of Lyme testing did you have done ELISA, antibody, Western blot and with which labs? I ask because I had two negative Lyme tests the first go around and then after retesting same lab but different test (Western blot) it showed I had "reactive" bands which are supposed to be Lyme specific. So I am retesting with Igenex, Stonybrook and MDL for co-infections. Also, look into Mycoplasmas as well. It's easy for things to get missed if the regular labs look okay. You have to unfortunately be the researcher and self advocate. My strange symptoms brought on anxiety and it created a cycle and then I didn't know if it was the anxiety or the symptoms. Hang in there and hope you get well.

Hi I’m not sure what they specifically tested for. I also know that my anxiety can make things worse I definitely understand how that cycle goes. I take Zoloft 25mg to keep my anxiety at bay

Also what are your symptoms like how did it progress for you?
