You might want to look at old posts under my name. My sensory symptoms started abruptly, were tremendously intense, and spread all over my body in a short time frame.

The punch biopsy from my legs was normal, however I have areas of upper body temperature loss. The neurologists at the teaching hospital had no clue. I've had 5 negative Elisa Lyme tests in the last 10 years.

I saw a Lyme educated doctor who ran a different test - iSpot. It was positive for Lyme, of course. I've learned that the Elisa Lyme test only catches about 50% of the cases. This test was never meant for the clinic - it was meant for surveillance in studies....so it was designed to conservatively identify Lyme. I was treated with antibiotics and my burning symptoms reduced after 2 weeks. I live in an Lyme endemic area also.

I think it's very reasonable for you to seek out another opinion for a Lyme educated professional. Many people develop numbness, burning and tingling from Lyme, Babesia, and Bartonella.
