Just wanted to added my two cents. When this came to a head for me two years ago. My GP tested me for everything he could think of and called in others for more help. 4 months before I got sick, I was back east for a funeral. I live in the Rocky Mtns. So I was tested for both Lyme and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Both were negative. But I did test positive for Epstein-Barr and Parvo-virus. At the time I worked at a residential youth treatment center. (High suseptablilty in those conditions). When I seen the Infectious disease doc. He told me that unless Lyme and Rocky Mtn was tested in the proper window it would show negative. He said he did not rule it out just because the test was neg. However, he also said if it was the other problems where more important and the antibiotics I was on would help anyway. The point, I think, I am trying to make is, for me, I had several health and emotional issues come about in a short time span. The GP believes between the surgery, two funerals and two confirmed illnesses at one time my system attacked itself and may never stop. So if it is Lyme, treat the whole body. If it is not Lyme treat the whole body. Good luck what ever way it turns out.
