Epitope mapping of antibodies to VlsE protein of Borrelia burgdorferi in post-Lyme disease syndrome

Maybe it's some progress. It sounds better than saying it's all in your head, but I don't think the test will be cheap any time soon.

Gee, I can remember back when they vehemently denied that Lyme even existed. How times can change.

There was a vaccine years ago and I got it. My doctor told me that it was fairly successful. However, enter the TRAIL LAWYERS! It was pulled off the market because the risk/reward ratio became too high. Thanks LAWYER SCUM!

Thank you for posting this. Lyme can certainly leave a person with nerve damage and chronic pain, but I pray that it is something that will eventually be overcome too. I fought Lyme with 3 years of medications, wondering many times if the drugs weren’t even worse than the disease itself. Advances in understanding Lyme Disease are very interesting to me.
