I contracted Lyme 25 years ago while on vacation. I had the flu like symptoms when I came home but was dismissed as the flu. I didn't have too many symptoms for about 15 years until I went through a personal family crisis and from that time on it was all down hill. Was misdiagnosed with numerous diseases and conditions. Finally figured it out myself in January of 2015 and went to see an Llmd. Confirmed through igenex labs. Currently treating Lyme and bartonella. Still testing for other Co's and genetic mutations and mold. Long road ahead.
