Lyme Disease

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
UK. Kent

Has anybody had a lyme disease test, since 2015 I have been steadily going down hill(mind and body) last year more rapidly and now walk with a stick.
Was diagnosed with fibromyalgia end of 2019 although I was convinced I had MS.
I recently had a lyme disease test that came back positive for borrelia, bartonella and babesia... I know alot of you have similar symptoms so it's worth getting checked

I only just got results, doctor is trying to figure it out as she said the standard 3 weeks antibiotics would not work for chronic infections

So sorry you have lyme.. thanks for posting. I got tested for this several years ago along with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.

Emma you can get tested private. The elisa test is what the nhs do. The more advanced are quite expensive and you have to send blood overseas

Make sure to get the more advance testing . The old testing the NHS use in UK (elisa) is no good if you have chronic lyme
