You were diagnosed with Lyme and they havent taken that into account?
Lyme is one of the MS mimickers. From what I've read about it, the Lyme spirochetes (bacteria) likes to hide. You could have a flaming case of Lyme and it wouldnt show up on the tests. Some Lymies told me that the antibiotics dont always work...that they've had to get repeated treatments of antibiotics to knock back the Lyme bacteria. Some of them ended up still having a chronic Lyme, or neurological Lyme...again, that's from what I've read about it and heard from some Lymies.
If you mention it to your doctor, dont try to push him towards diagnosing you with Lyme. (dont be like I was. I got all excited because I was sure it was Lyme and not MS, and apparently that set off the doctor's hypochondriac warning systems)
I would just calmly mention that you were diagnosed with Lyme once, and ask if that could have anything to do with your symptoms, and then dont push...maybe they havent read that in your records or they're just discounting it because you had antibiotics.
(I still have suspicions that my MS is actually Lyme, I just cant get any doctors to take me seriously on that)
I hope you dont have anything serious and that it's not Lyme or MS. MS sucks rocks and I hope you dont have to join our exclusive club because the membership dues (all the annoying symptoms) are just crappy.
