CB, Renee;

...just a reminder that Lyme disease tests are problematic (see recent Wall Street Journal communications in Op Ed with my letters and the CDC), so most reputable doctors get actual training in how to diagnose Lyme disease. The diagnosis is based on a clinical assessment, not only blood test results.

Many MDs know this, but are not trained in this. So, here's a good referral source:

ILADS Physician Referral for Lyme DiseaseILADS

The man that discovered the bacteria that causes the disease, Willie Burgdorfer, is a member of ILADS. The bug is named after him: Borrelia Burgdoferi.
