    can lyme disease cause or trigger ALS

    Here is the thread causing my concern. I've also read articles where some docs believe ALS can be tirggered by lyme. http://flash.lymenet.org/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=069931

    can lyme disease cause or trigger ALS

    It may sound stupid, but I'm scared of my lyme disease turning into ALS. I know it may be a whacky theory someone or many someones have conjured up. I continue to get more and more worried as my healing process hasn't been as quick as I thought it would. I started ABx on 7/7 the day I was...

    DX'ed with Lyme Disease, still fear ALS

    but something peculiar I've noticed, is that many of the cases of lymes are also where many afflicted people with ALS are located: NY, New Jersey, Canada, Michigan, Florida, Connecticut, Ohio..... places in high lyme areas.

    DX'ed with Lyme Disease, still fear ALS

    The worry I have though resides in the fact that people who have lymes often develop ALS and there are some who think that there is a correlation that the lymes actually triggered ALS.

    DX'ed with Lyme Disease, still fear ALS

    Not sure what test it was for the Lymes, all I know is the first blood drawn for a lymes test resulted in a positive diagnosis for lymes. My GP has been practicing meds for a long time, he's pretty good at getting to the bottom of things. He really helped my mom when she ended up with a bad...
