Default Well, this is interesting.

Having long term Lyme would possibility of the tremendous variety of symptoms you've had--perhaps even contributing to your spinal weakness--but as I'm sure you've gathered, Lyme is a very slippery beast to get a hold of. And, there a lot of controvery about just what serologically constitutes a diagnosis (and what may represent a co-infection--apparently, a lot of other sphirocete infections can be transmitted simulteneously with Lyme, and this makes serological testing even more difficult).

Some, of course, have therefore taken the viewpoint that Lyme is a clinical diagnosis more than a test-driven one:

Are you going to pursue things further up at the Columbia reserch center?
