Hi Lbrown,
I haven't been tested for Lyme but I have had the infection twice. It is a reactive test as the others may be as well. This means that you could have Lyme Disease but the test wouldn't necessarily show a positive result. I had all the symptoms except for the bullseye which is what most people look for. Terrible joint pain, fatigue, wild dreams, would wake up in the morning and feel like I had been hit over the head with a 2x4 - terrible headaches. Luckily my Dr.'s wife had been infected as had his nurse so he was on top of things. He treated me with two weeks of Doxycycline and all symptoms went away - actually after just 3 days - which is exactly how long he said it would take for me to feel better. As devastating as these infections can be - if there is any chance you could be infected - I would opt for the treatment just to make sure.
I hope this information helps.
Best wishes,
Sally
