Hey again RoboDad,
Since you mention Lyme in this post as well I just wanted to put my 2 cents in for this post too.

As someone who has had Lyme disease twice, and fortunately it was caught early, you are correct that it can manifest itself in many unusual ways. And it is more prevalent than people realize.
As for testing, my doctor told me it's a reactive test. In other words you could have it and still have the test come out negative. We went by the fact that I had been bitten and also my symtoms. The only symptom I didn't have was the characteristic "bulls eye" so one doesn't always have that when they have Lyme disease. I am always suspect of Lyme when I hear of people having weird symptoms with no easy explanation.
Sally
