The false negative rate is very high. Tests are very unreliable. A negative doesn’t mean you don’t have the disease. It means the bloodtest just didn’t pick up on it. So you can still be positive. I have been ill for 30+ years with this illness and was only tested last year. I had two positive tests and they made it a negative because cdc is so strict. A Lyme charity actually diagnosed me. I was paralysed for a short while when I was 13. I just wanted to inform you. I would look Chronic Lyme up and see if you have any other symptoms (make sure to look the co-infections up too)

Have you been tested for Lyme? I have the illness myself and I have learned a lot about it and how weird it is. (Have been temporarily paralysed myself)

You are very welcome!

I tested positive. In the UK there is hardly any knowledge about Lyme. But I was diagnosed by Lyme Aid Uk. They reviewed my tests. If you want to know how the CDC works with Lyme and Lyme testing watch “under our skin” a very good documentary.
