MS and Lyme Disease can present similar symptoms, so the fact that your Dr. is testing for both reflects a "good doctor." I presented as "having a history of Lyme Disease," and did not benefit from the antibiotic treatment (pic line for a month) which can be recommended as LD Treatment, which opened the door to my MS diagnosis.

I was tested for Lyme and it came back negative, if I remember correctly I believe you need the western block test which only certain labs test for..... good luck and yes I believe there are many common symptoms between Lyme and MS, except Lyme responds to antibiotics

Totally! Odds are on your ms journey you have been tested for Lyme already. This is something the drs want to rule out right away. This test was part of my first blood draw panel

Thanks! I have a friend who has Lyme disease. But first and foremost we cannot let our barriers hinder us on our way to success and happiness. We are stronger than MS or anything - all we need is the right mindset and the properly placed drive ^_^

I was tested for Lyme Disease 1st to rule it out all my tests were all pointing to MS.
