EXCERPT:
My illness began with numbness and an array of other sensory disturbances. The numbness spread from my foot to most of my body including my face. Lyme ELISA titers were negative so, at this point, it was ruled out.

I was sent to a neurologist who did an MRI, ANA, and a lumbar puncture. The MRI was abnormal with diffuse periventricular white matter, my ANA was slightly positive for Lupus, and my spinal was positive for oliogoclonal banding and an elevated Igg synthesis rate suggestive of multiple sclerosis.

I was again told I did not have Lyme disease because the spinal tap would have been positive. My health continued to deteriorate. I cried uncontrollably for months. It was very hard on my entire family. I became nearly bed ridden with fatigue, it was difficult to walk, and I was unable to work.

I began doing extensive research into the field of Lyme disease and learned that all of my symptoms and lab results could be consistent with Neurologic Lyme. My family physician supported me in my belief, despite the fact that three neurologists felt it was probably MS.
