Hi guys! I was wondering how many of you were misdiagnosed with something else before getting the Lyme disease diagnosis? I ask because I've heard a lot stories of people first being diagnosed with things like fibro or even ALS before being diagnosed with Lyme!
I can totally understand how this can happen, after all a long term infection with, let's say, Brucelossis produces similar symptoms to the ones experienced by fibro or Lyme sufferers. It can be so confusing!
I was infected with the brucelossis bacteria (no idea how!) a while ago, I still don't know if it was that or something else what caused me arthritis in certain areas or not. I don't think I will ever know either, it seems every doctor tells me something different... it seems nowadays it's harder and harder to find a decent doctor.
What you were diagnosed with before finally getting the Lyme diagnosis?
