Question for Hard concerning Lyme disease.

[Guest guest]

A few posts back, you mentioned a patient that had screwed up adrenals and

thyroid due to Lyme disease.

I'm wondering if that's the case with me. I have the " triad " that seems to

occur to many men on this board: Low T, Hypothyroid and low adrenal function.

I have sleep apnea too.

IMO, any of these things can be the chicken and the rest the egg. Don't know.

But another cause might be Lyme disease.

So, some questions:

How accurate is the Western Blot? - I never had that, but turned up negative on

ELISA.

Is there another criteria for identifying Lyme?

If I show positive, I've likely had it for 20+ years, since that's how long I've

been dealing with fatigue, muscle pains, cognitive issues, etc.

What is the treatment for such a chronic version of Lyme?

Thanks in advance.

If I come up positive
