I have had a blood test for lyme and bartonella that came back negative. however, everywhere I look it seems that only Lyme Dr's have the ability to diagnose someone with lyme disease. Isn't this weird? What are they doing that neuro's aren't? Why does their testing come up positive but everyone else's comes back negative. Is it a hoax? Are they just treating people for the money? I ask because I wonder if I should travel to the US for a consult with a lyme dr. Here in Canada Lyme is hardly ever diagnosed, it seems to be swept under the rug a lot. I know someone who was finally diagnosed with lyme here but it took 3 years and he was in a wheelchair because he was so weak and fatigued (along with other things)
