Lyme's is a fairly easy thing to diagnose when you order the right tests. It is a real train wreck if not. MS is a common misdiagnosis so that Lyme's goes untreated for years, at times. It is devistating. MS looks like everything else, clinically. I had a friend that died from Lyme's complications at 50 only because she was misdiagnosed with MS at 25! A real tragedy.

I am not sure about any Lyme's/RSD connection and I am equally not sure that it would matter once RSD is diagnosed since as we all know, the treament issue for RSD is severly lacking. If Lyme's exists, it can be treated. The same is not as easy for us with RSD. But it can only go one direction, right? It can only get better! Here is to new ideas and RSD treatment patterns for 2009!
