The New Great Imitator: Lyme Disease (LD)
"Health is a state of balance. Because humans and microbes
are often competitors, interactive co-evolution has resulted in multiple
and varied defense mechanisms on the part of both. The body must
juggle and perform delicate balancing acts to maintain adaptive
successes in spite of constantly changing life situations.
Lyme Disease (LD), Fibromyalgia (FMS), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS),
Gulf War Syndrome (CWS), and many similar chronic conditions affect
multiple body systems often accompanied by extreme morbidity.
Laboratory diagnostic methods presently in use are often undependable. " visit

CDC GUIDE TO LYME DISEASE
Diagnosis of Lyme disease should take into account
History of possible exposure to ticks, especially in areas where Lyme
disease is known to occur.
The results of blood tests used to determine whether the patient has
antibodies to Lyme disease bacteria.
These tests are most useful in later stages of illness, but even then
they may give inaccurate results. Laboratory tests for Lyme disease
have not yet been standardized nationally.

Tick-Borne and Other Emerging Infectious Diseases
Brian Fallon, MD, and Robert Mocharnuk, MD To most people, Lyme disease is a risk of life near wooded regions. But not long ago, there was little suspicion that a tick-borne disease could be causing rashes, arthritis, and neurologic conditions. And before the isolation and characterization of the causative spirochete, there was widespread doubt that such a disease complex was real. http://www.medscape.com/Medscape/CNO/2001/LDF/Story.cfm?story_id=2241 Pictures of Ticks http://www.lymehelp.org/Tick%20Photos.htm Pictures of Rashes http://www.lymenet.org/picture4.shtml AND http://www.lymehelp.org/Rash%20Photos.htm Misdiagnosed???
