I had an acute case, in 1994, diagnosed by a physician....had EM rash, bite the works...got 20 days of amoxicillin, apparently not enough. I live in one of those black spots on the national Lyme map, in the midwest, great lakes region. 1994 was a banner year for Lyme.

My IgM bands are still +, but my IgG is negative.

I don't think I have active disease, but I think it is possible it set me up for what I have now....whatever it is. I do have + autoimmune markers.

My neuro just says...'There is a lot we do not know about Lyme'....but of course, he is from Europe originally and does not think he is a deity.
