MeggiLynn,
I was tested for Lyme at least 5 times prior to the Naturopath finding it because I lived in the Mid-Atlantic region for 13 years and Lyme is very prevelant there.
The testing for Lyme really is clinical and the testing procedures are very unreliable. My clinical diagnosis was confirmed by traditional doctors with additional non standard testing only after the Naturopath ran tests that the medical doctors had not and would not run. Again, just pointing it out and it may not apply to you. There has just been such a correlation between bacterial infections, Lyme and biofilms in relation to spine issues in the last 2 - 3 years.
