When I see the infection control Md he runs a Western Blot Reflex, Lyme PCR, Borrelia Burgdorferi, Lyme AB, and complete blood profile, as well as ANA. The ANA is very elevated when the disease is very active. I've had Cerebral Spinal Fluid tested, and Brain MRI. I don't think they can detect where damage is done though. Do you know of a way? It sounds like you have done a lot of research or seen a lot of docs. I was first dx'd 7 years ago, but since I'm originally from Ct where it is extremely widespread I really don't know how long it has been. I never had a Bullseye rash that I'm aware of. Do you know of meds for anxiety/depression that are supposed to help? Oh, my spinal fluid was clear, and MRI then was negative. Just the lab work was positive. Thanks, Phillipa
