Tests initially negative and have not been back for this since. Been a bit of a walking medical case for a while now so this kind of got forgotten about until this thread came up.
The problem with the blood test is it can come back with false negatives and false positives, it is not reliable. If you feel it could be Lyme please contact us, we help people get the right information to Dr's and offer support.

Mind you I did go have a look at the link you put up as after reading the thread it has a lot of info on things I never really thought about.
Glad you had a look through it. :D
