Is there a definitive test for Lyme, or is it just ‘a strong possibility’ result?

Mrs. BE was suspected of having it a couple years back, but we were given to understand that all they had to go by were symptoms.

If you even suspect, go and get tested. It is still in her blood if she thinks she might have had it.

It is a bacteria and easily treated.

My machinery salesmans wife got it and it was to late by the time they found it. The tick was most likely in her hair. She now has arthritis as a result of it-he told me.

Anywhere there is deer ticks-mostly the upper midwest to the New England is the areas to watch out for it.

The rash they have on there? Is exactly what I had.

When and if I pull one off my Dr automatically puts me on Doxy.

He sez test pretty much sucks so doesn’t bother with it

When I had it (about two years ago) I tested positive on three tests; I had asked the doctor to look for Lyme disease specifically, as I hike a lot and have removed ticks that get past the bug spray.
