have they tested you for lymes disease?

Been tested and treated with antibotic even through the test came back neg.

yep NEG for that tested three times

I have a friend who was diagnosed with Lymes disease, after numerous negative tests, and she had similar symptoms. I guess the problem with Lymes disease is that the bacteria aren't always present in the blood stream so it's not uncommon for tests to come up negative. It took her 5 years to get the diagnosis, and1 1/2 years on antibiotics and other meds, but she is doing a lot better. I'm sorry to hear that your life has changed, and I sincerely hope that you find the answers you seek. It took me 4 years to get even a tentative diagnosis for my son, so I know what you are going through, truely I will pray for you, because it is a scarry road and sometimes prayer is all we have. I ended up having to take my son all the way to the NIH in Maryland to get the proper genetic tests and diagnosis and treatment. Don't give up!
