I had Lyme tests (the ELISA and the Western Blot) that both showed a couple of the Lyme specific bacterias, but not enough of the bacterias for my problems to be diagnosed as Lyme and not MS. I think on one of the tests, I had 2 of the 3 bacterias needed for a positive Lyme test, on the other test I had 3 of the 5 needed. Irritated me that they never investigated that earlier, since I'm guessing that if I had a few of the bacterias show up on a test, that maybe I've at least been exposed to a Lyme infected tick.

I'm still assuming that the neuros were right and that I have MS, but I still have the suspicion that it may be Lyme. But I guess once you get the neurological symptoms, they cant do a whole lot for it after that. Lyme is still not understood very well, similar to how they still dont know a whole lot about MS.

besides the fact that I've had so many antibiotics in the last two years for various infections that my body's supply of natural flora is all screwed up and now I've apparently got overgrowth of the bad bacterias. I dont want to go near any antibiotics any more.

At least now that I've gotten some of my teeth worked on and gotten most of the low grade dental infections dealt with (two more visits to go!) I'm feeling a lot better neurologically now. I think most of my neurological stuff has been related to the dental issues I've had.
