Woohooo!!! Here I thought we were going get a juicey, exciting story out of you . . . but you just leave us hangin'.

(I live vicariously, what can I say? )

Yes, it can wax and wane (dissemination in time) as per the 2nd link in my prior message. It also says:

"Many authorities list Lyme disease high on the differential
diagnosis of MS as a disease of young people capable
of causing white-matter symptoms, sometimes relapsing and
remitting
, occasionally with MRI changes mimicking MS."

It would be rare indeed, Jules, that Lyme would be misdiagnosed as MS . . . but I've heard of it happening on the forums.
