Good to see this warning on here, Were not sure If I have Lymes or not,, right after deer season I started to get some pretty weird symptoms,, arthritis like pain in my back, and legs,, infections that wouldnt clear up,, chest pain,,blood pressure up and down, as I was telling Bugdrifter on the South East forum,, they ran and are still running test,, bone scans,, CT scans,, blood work,, Nothing showed up,, I kept telling them to check for Lymes,, My (former) Doc said we dont have lymes here and your symptoms dont fit it,, but she ran it (I think just to appease me)and of course it came back negative,, which from what I have read can come back negative plenty of times if you dont do the right test,, so now i;m being checked out in Pittsburgh,, was there two weeks ago and they took plenty of blood to check for everything using the right testing criteria,,, (If you ever think your family Doc isnt listening,, DROP HIM OR HER,, I decided to go to Shea Medical Center in Shadyside,, its a teaching Hospital and these future Doctors are on top of there stuff,, ),, I never recalled getting bit by a tick,, but 50% of the time you dont,, If this turns out to be lymes,, trust me,, you dont want it,,, be carefull out there
