[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 434876, member: 84"] Well.......... I know that lyme's has a stage that includes some neuro issues. I haven't found anywhere anything about lesions though. I also found where it said you have to be careful about multiple testing for lyme's as it will start giving false positives. Now that they neglected to tell us in school. My opinion? It's going to be really hard at this point to be sure about the lyme's. Although I'm with you, I don't understand why a specialist in the disease would say you didn't have it with a positive result backed up by western blot. But even so called specialist can be idiots..........I've ran into more than my fair share of them over the years. However, I have cared for MS patients in the distant past. And we have the male friend with it. I know he's has some issues with his joints and swelling.......but I also know that was back when he tended to over do physical activity too. I've not heard him complain of it in recent years. He's active, just not on the same level he once was. But what you have to remember is that when they list a group of symptoms of a disease, no two people with the disease are going to be the same. Some will share symptoms, others will have symptoms that the rest don't have. While they will share a group of similar ones........those won't always be the same ones. I hope that came out right. ugh If it were me? I'd have a sit down with MS doctor and discuss this with him. I'd tell him while I'm not doubting his diagnosis......I'm just trying to make sure 1. I'm not missing anything and 2. what the heck was up with the lyme deal and those tests coming up positive. Most docs can understand that. With the joint swelling thing.......you could be dealing with arthritis, instead of lymes in addition to the MS.........which is why it's good to talk it over with him. While he's not a specialist for the one.......well he should have vast knowledge in ms and be able to answer at least part of the questions you're having. As for the ones he can't answer.....a good doctor would work on finding those answers for you. Hugs [/QUOTE]
