I know someone who was incorrectly diagnosed as having MS but it turned out (apparently) to be Lyme disease. A couple factoids:
* Lyme tests can often give (even repeated) false negatives. The bacterium can lie dormant or hide. This is why it's a good idea to get a lyme test as a baseline if you're going to be doing a lot of outdoors stuff.
* Most doctors are not educated about Lyme disease, so if you think you might have it, it is important to find a specialist or a doctor who is "Lyme-literate".
Also, how is this not on the front page with 300 points in 17 hours? Flagged too much?
