Re: brain mri; echocardiogram and nerve conduction velocity testing

Robin,

An MRI could certainly detect lesions on the brain, similar to those found

in MS patients. In fact, that's how I determined I was relapsing in 2001

when 3 lesions were found after an MRI. There are now 5, but they

don't seem to be spreading rapidly.

Of course, the radiologist who reads the MRI might determine that

any lesions were due to MS, but if you do have Lyme, this would

be a good indicator of neuro complications.

Hope that helps.
