doctors dont understand lyme. at all. we had a similar situation. I had to order the lyme test because I was convinced it was lyme.. The doctors told me they’d never had a lyme patient with seizures before. So it clearly could not be that. Even after I had the test they were still not convinced. they actually looked at the lyme test and put it aside and said we’re not going to worry about that right now. ONCE WE actually found a tick in bedded in his bag. That’s when they finally took it serious. AND That is when I fired my doctor! BECAUSE I WAS paying him three to $400 every time I went in. and I was the one telling him what the problem was. go on facebook and look for the mega sized group BUHNER! this group was a lot of help for me. But really me doing my own research was the most help. Unfortunately I don’t know how someone with lime can do research and have much understanding. Because of the foggy brain. if you can find someone with a heart chamber hyperbaric chamber. That will help the most!

I would definitely find a new doctor, lyme tests are not 100% accurate so you very well could have Lyme. Dont give up there are doctors who will treat you for Lyme even w/o the test.

I read your other post as well and wanted to second that you may want to find a new doctor. I tested negative for lyme and I was still prescribed the antibiotic, based on my symptoms. The earlier you start, the better, from what I've heard. Lyme tests are definitely NOT 100% accurate. And there is no textbook definition either, it presents so differently from person to person. Definitely get a second opinion at least if you are still in this situation.
